Heartlessly Dumped—Paralyzed Pup Left Scared, Motionless, & Alone

He was left like garbage—motionless and alone.

By the time our team found Tom, an older Pomeranian, it was barely sunrise. He had been dumped directly outside our shelter gates. No note. No explanation. Just…dumped.

He wasn’t moving, and at first, we thought he might have already passed. But then we saw his eyes—barely open, filled with confusion and pain.

When we tried to gently lift him, we realized the truth: Tom couldn’t use his front legs. He couldn’t walk. He couldn’t even sit up.

Tom is now safe at Stray Animal Foundation of India, receiving medical care, love, and comfort he needs for his second chance.

We’re doing everything we can to figure out what happened to his legs—whether it was trauma, neurological, or something else entirely. Diagnostics and X-rays are underway. And no matter what those results show, Tom won’t be alone again.

If he regains use of his legs, we’ll find him the perfect forever home. And if he doesn’t, he’ll remain with us - loved and protected - for the rest of his life.

His vet care, imaging, and long-term support are expensive. We’re currently trying to raise $3,000 to cover to cover his diagnostics, treatments, and care. Every act of kindness brings us one step closer to helping this sweet boy feel safe, comfortable, and cared for again.
