Please help us help Duke — a tiny puppy found with bandaged legs pierced by wooden stakes with nails. 🥹

Just a few days ago, we were shattered by a video that came out of Alexandria, Egypt — a 2-month-old puppy lying abandoned beneath a tree, unable to move. His legs were wrapped in dirty bandages. At first, we thought someone might have tried to help him. But what we uncovered after rushing him to the vet — with the help of Spirit Foundation For Animal Rescue - Dadeg Kamel — was something none of us were prepared for.

Beneath those bandages were wooden sticks with nails piercing his fragile legs. Nails. Driven into his body. Every single movement must have brought him excruciating pain. We are still in disbelief that anyone could think this was a way to help — or worse, that someone could deliberately inflict this kind of suffering.

Duke was also severely dehydrated, crawling with fleas and ticks, and utterly defeated.

X-rays showed even more heartbreaking news: abnormalities in his pelvic region, with an abnormal gap between his L8 and sacrum bones. This could be putting pressure on his nerves, possibly explaining why he can’t stand or move his hind legs. Right now, we don’t know if surgery will be required. What we do know is that Duke needs rest, medical care, nutrition, and love.

He’s in the hospital now, being monitored around the clock, treated for blood parasites, and finally safe — but the bills are already adding up. His initial vetting alone is $450 USD, and he will need to stay for continued care.

Please… if you can find it in your heart to help Duke, now is the time. No puppy deserves this — to suffer, to be abandoned, to be left in pain with nails in their legs. He just needed to be saved. And now that we have him, we will not give up on him.

But we cannot do this without you.

Please donate, share, and keep little Duke in your thoughts. He is fighting. Let’s fight alongside him.

Update on Nika’s Specialist Visit ❤️

⭐️Videos in comments⭐️

This Tuesday, Nika and her travel buddy Kala made the long trip from Macedonia to Sofia, Bulgaria, to visit a specialist at Ortoclinica—something we were only able to do because of your kindness and support. Thank you!

After arriving, Leonardo from Animal Voice accompanied Nika to her exam, where she was sedated for a full orthopedic evaluation and X-rays. Nika, who is just 7 months old, has visible deformities in both front legs. The specialist confirmed that she walks with a varus deformity (inward bending) of the carpal joints, along with mild hyperextension. Despite this, she shows no signs of muscle atrophy and has mostly normal joint movement in her shoulders and elbows.

The X-rays revealed:

• A soft tissue varus deformity in both carpal joints
• Mild ulnar sclerosis (a hardening of bone in the elbow)
• Mild radio-ulnar incongruity (slight misalignment in the forearm bones)

The diagnosis: a flexor contracture is causing her carpal deformity, and she’s showing early-stage elbow dysplasia in both front legs.

Here’s the best part—surgery is not required at this time! Instead, the vet has recommended regular stretching of her front legs and follow-up X-rays in two weeks to monitor her elbows as she continues to grow.

We are beyond grateful to everyone who contributed to make this specialist visit possible. Nika’s future is brighter because of your love and commitment. We’ll continue to share updates as her rehabilitation journey unfolds.

Lobby Day for Animals at the Capitol – A Powerful Day of Advocacy

Today, we had the honor of attending the Lobby Day for Animals at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison – and what an incredible turnout it was! We were proud to cohost this impactful event alongside Animal Wellness Action- Wisconsin and Dane4Dogs, two organizations doing outstanding work for animal welfare.

Throughout the day, I had the chance to meet with my district’s representative and senate offices to discuss critical issues surrounding animal protection laws and the urgent need for reforms. It was encouraging to be in the company of passionate individuals and groups who, like us, are determined to push for stronger legislation and a more compassionate future for animals.

This was my first time participating in an event like this, and I learned so much. It sparked a deep desire to become more involved in advocacy and policy work. While we are an international rescue, we recognize the importance of driving change at the local level—and this is just the beginning of our increased involvement in local advocacy.

One of the biggest takeaways from today: Every single one of us has a role to play. Don’t wait for someone else to speak up—your voice matters. Let’s not be complacent. Let’s get loud for the animals.

We also encourage you to check out the incredible work of our cohosts at Animal Wellness Action and Dane4Dogs—they are making real change happen.

Let’s keep moving forward, together.

Meet Ludwig — A Soul Full of Courage ❤️

At just 4 years old, Ludwig has already endured more suffering than most ever will. Rescued at the end of April by our partner Animal Voice in Bitola, Macedonia, Ludwig was found with a broken spine just above the pelvis, a fractured pelvis, and feet torn raw from dragging his broken body across the ground.

His eyes—gentle, deep, and knowing—tell a story we may never fully understand. We don’t know what happened to Ludwig or how long he was left to suffer, but we do know this: he is safe now.

Ludwig is currently in Skopje, under the care of a compassionate foster experienced with disabled dogs, where he’s receiving regular vet visits, bandage changes, and lots of love. He’s on antibiotics, battling ehrlichia and healing slowly, but bravely. His feet, still raw and painful, may need amputation if they don’t heal.

He will need a wheelchair to move freely again—but for now, just look at him trying to walk, refusing to give up.

We urgently need help covering Ludwig’s medical costs as we fight for his second chance at life.

Please consider donating, sharing his story, or sending some healing thoughts Ludwig’s way. Every bit of support matters.

Let’s show Ludwig that the world hasn’t turned its back on him.

Omari’s got a secret (but not for long!) ❤️

Omari might have overheard some exciting whispers… word is, she’ll soon be hopping on a plane and traveling abroad! But shhh—don’t let on that she knows. She’s trying to act all cool and collected, but inside? She’s doing zoomies of joy!

It’s hard to believe this sweet girl was once searching for scraps and shelter on the streets of Alexandria. Omari has blossomed into a healthy, radiant pup who absolutely adores people.

We can’t wait to share more soon about her journey… but for now, let’s all wish Omari safe travels and cheer her on as she gets one paw closer to forever!

Crawford Update: From Broken to Brave ❤️

Crawford was found on the streets of Iloilo, Philippines, with horrific injuries—a deep, gaping wound across his head, neck, and back that had become infected and infested with maggots. We believe he was beaten and possibly hacked with a weapon. He was dehydrated, in agony, and utterly defeated.

Thanks to our partner, Paraiso Ni Kimay Fur Sanctuary, Crawford was rescued and rushed to the hospital, where he received life-saving care. Now, he’s safely back at the shelter and continuing to heal. His wounds are closing, his strength is returning, and his spirit is slowly beginning to shine through.

We’ve managed to raise about $350 of his final hospital bill of $780, but we’re still $430 short. The clinic graciously allowed us to discharge him with a promise to pay, but until we settle the balance, we can’t bring in new emergency cases—or take Crawford back for his follow-up care and wound cleaning.

Please help us close this gap so we can continue giving dogs like Crawford the urgent care they need. Every dollar counts.

Nika Is Scheduled to Travel Tomorrow — But We’re Still $685 Short

We’re just hours away from little Nika’s trip to Bulgaria, where she’s finally set to see a specialist about her painful leg deformity — but we’re still $685 short of the funds needed to cover transport and vetting.

If we can’t raise the remaining amount by the end of today, we’ll be forced to pull funds allocated for other dogs in need, just to make sure Nika doesn’t miss her chance. It’s not a choice we want to make, but this is an urgent, time-sensitive trip and her only opportunity to get to Bulgaria with another dog, Kala, who also desperately needs care.

Nika was found by our partner Animal Voice discarded in a trash pile in Bitola, Macedonia, unable to stand. We tried everything — nutrition, supplements, love — but her legs have not improved. She’s still in pain, and we can’t let her suffer when there’s a real chance to help her. Bulgaria has the nearest orthopedic specialist, and tomorrow’s trip includes a full consultation and X-rays to understand what kind of surgery or treatment she may need.

Please, if you can donate today — even a small amount — it will directly impact Nika and help us avoid having to take from other urgent cases.

UPDATE ON JACOUB: THE HORSE WE RESCUED YESTERDAY ❤️🐴

After a heartbreaking overnight rescue in Cairo, the emaciated horse we fought so hard to save has arrived safely at the ESDAR "The Egyptian Society For Defending Animal Rights" sanctuary. The team has lovingly named him Jacoub — a symbol of a new beginning after a life of unimaginable cruelty.

This morning, the equine vet visited Jacoub and confirmed what we feared: his condition is extremely serious. He is severely malnourished, infected, and dangerously weak. But there is a flicker of hope — Jacoub has a strong appetite and stood up today during his examination, a small but powerful sign of his will to survive.

He is suspected to have equine malaria (Equine Piroplasmosis) and is being treated accordingly with intensive fluids, vitamins, and a specialized medical course. His back leg is badly swollen and infected, likely from a hit by a car or motorcycle. The wound has been festering for over two months, filled with pus and causing toxic buildup in his system.

Jacoub now requires:

• High-dose painkillers and anti-inflammatories
• Strong antibiotics and daily wound cleaning
• Special ointments and topical care
• Fluids with Duphalyte to flush toxins
• Vitamin injections, powders, and nutritional support
• Ongoing vet care and daily treatment

Horses are incredibly expensive to care for, especially in this condition. We estimate Jacoub’s recovery will cost around $2,000, including food, medication, and specialized vetting. But this boy is fighting. And we will fight for him.

Jacoub was tortured, neglected, and discarded like garbage. We cannot change his past — but with your help, we can rewrite his future.

Please help us help Jacoub. He deserves this chance.

Who Will Help Us Get Nika to a Specialist in Bulgaria? 🇲🇰🚗🇧🇬

$750 Needed

This Tuesday, we have a chance to get little Nika the help she desperately needs — but we can’t do it without your support.

Nika and another dog, Kala, need to travel from Macedonia to Bulgaria to see a veterinary specialist. We had hoped that proper nutrition and supplements would help correct Nika’s leg deformity, but sadly, her condition has not improved. She’s in pain, and it’s time for expert care. Bulgaria has the nearest orthopedic specialist — Macedonia does not offer this level of treatment.

This trip will be for an initial consultation and X-rays, which will help us understand the full extent of Nika’s condition and whether surgery is required. It’s urgent we go Tuesday, as Kala is also in distress and needs immediate attention. It’s a two-day round trip, so we’re trying to be as efficient as possible with costs and time.

Nika was found discarded in a trash pile in Bitola, Macedonia, unable to stand. If our partners at Animal Voice hadn’t intervened, she wouldn’t have survived. Now, we’re fighting to give her the healthy future she deserves.

We need to raise $750 to cover vetting and transport. That’s all it takes to give Nika a real chance at a pain-free life.

Will you be a part of Nika’s journey to healing? Please consider sponsoring her today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you.

UPDATE ON MANOEL: Our Brave Senior Fighter 🐕‍🦺❤️

⭐️videos in comments⭐️

Three days ago, we shared an urgent plea for Manoel, the senior dog found dying by the roadside in Icoaraci, Brazil—his frail body overwhelmed by hundreds of ticks, one ear necrotic, and his spirit barely hanging on.

Today marks Day 3 in the hospital, and we have good news: Manoel is improving.
He even took a short walk outside—slow but determined—and he’s eating better too. His strength is returning little by little. Once he’s stable enough, he’ll undergo surgery to repair his ear. For now, he’s continuing treatment for erlichia, a serious tick-borne disease, while we await the rest of his bloodwork results.

He’s had multiple medicated baths to remove the seemingly endless ticks clinging to him. And through it all, this senior boy continues to show us just how much he wants to live.

Thank you to everyone who helped us cover his initial vet bill.
Your kindness is the reason he’s still with us. We now need help covering his medication bill of $162, and we’ll update you as soon as we have the cost estimate for his upcoming surgery.

Manoel was left to suffer alone, but not anymore. Because of you, he now has a chance.

We’ll keep updating you on his journey—but tonight, we just wanted to say thank you. He is stable. He is safe. And he is not forgotten.

Happy Friday evening from Tony the Miracle Pup! ❤️

Hi friends, it’s me — Little Tony!

I just wanted to pop in to wish you a cozy, happy Friday night and a wonderful weekend ahead. Wherever you are in the world, I hope you get a moment to breathe, smile and do something that fills your heart with joy.

Thanks to your love, I’m healing better than anyone imagined. I had to have one of my eyes removed and my little jaw held together after a scary start to life — but guess what? I’m thriving! I’m eating more, gaining weight, and growing stronger every day.

So from my healing heart to yours, thank you for cheering me on — and have a pawsitively lovely weekend!

With tail wags and brave little kisses,
Tony the Miracle Pup (India)
