Story

Meet gentle new patient River.

Just weeks ago, River was living peacefully on the streets of Penang Island, surviving day-to-day as so many street dogs do. But everything changed in an instant when she accidentally stumbled into a cruel wild animal trap.

By the time she was found, almost her entire front leg had been ripped away, leaving her in unimaginable pain and distress. There was no way to save her leg, and to save her life, River had to undergo an emergency amputation.

Now she faces an uncertain future on only three legs. Learning to move, balance, and walk again will take time, patience, and ongoing rehabilitation.

Right now, we are urgently seeking sponsors to support River’s medication, rehabilitation, and long-term care as she adjusts to life as a tripod dog. She also has unstable blood readings, meaning she needs further medication to stabilise her health and give her body the strength to heal.

River did nothing to deserve this. She was an innocent street dog, simply trying to survive, when a cruel trap changed her life forever.

Your gift today could bring pain relief, life-changing rehabilitation, and a sprinkle of hope to a dog who has already endured so much suffering.

Please sponsor River and help us give her a positive future.
