MY STORY
I used to be just like any other street dog - playful and full of that irrepressible spirit that made me chase anything with wheels. Motorbikes, cars, tuk-tuks - if it moved, I was determined to catch it!
Until, one day, I woke up and couldn't feel my front legs. I was paralysed.
I'd been feeling unwell, but I thought it'd pass. I had no idea an infection was attacking my spine. By the time I reached hospital, the damage was already done.
Thankfully, the team here weren't about to give up on me. They worked tirelessly to help me, treating the infection before it could do more harm, and getting me started in physiotherapy. Slowly, I began to adapt. What else could I do? I'm still me, after all.
Now, I'm quite the kangaroo-hopping champion! And, when I want to explore beyond my special care enclosure, I have my own set of wheels that lets me zoom around the sanctuary. Here, being different doesn't make me less - it just makes me uniquely me.
HOW YOU'LL HELP A DOG LIKE ME
Dogs like me have special disabilities - some we were born with, others came from life on the streets, sometimes through cruelty, sometimes not. We need extra special care to live happy, healthy lives, and we're more prone to medical complications, meaning higher veterinary costs.
At Soi Dog, the team specialises in helping dogs exactly like me, so it's the perfect place for us to thrive. Your sponsorship ensures we receive the expert care and loving attention that transforms our challenges into just another part of our remarkable stories.
So, will you sponsor me? I promise to be an excellent PawPal and send you three special updates a year, plus you'll see just how magnificently I've mastered this kanagroo-hop lifestyle!
Sponsoring a dog or cat means that your donation will go towards Soi Dog's efforts helping the neglected and abused dogs and cats of Asia. Your gift of sponsorship is used to help your sponsored dog or cat and all the other animals Soi Dog cares for to provide shelter, food & medicine and veterinary care.
