Owning a pet is a significant commitment that entails a substantial responsibility for their safety and well-being. These living beings are entirely reliant on their owners for care and protection.
Recently, concerned citizens stumbled upon a heart-wrenching scene, where a dog dangled precariously from a balcony, teetering on the brink of tragedy. Fortunately, a swift rescue mission prevented any harm from befalling the desperate canine.
What they encountered on that balcony, however, shocked them more profoundly than the impending disaster itself. The dog, a German Shepherd, was discovered alone on the balcony of an apartment in Egypt. What added to the distressing scenario was the revelation that the dog had endured days of being tethered to the balcony without access to food or water. It appeared famished, and its leap from the balcony seemed to be a final, desperate bid to escape the deplorable conditions.
Regrettably, a chain bound the dog’s neck, rendering it incapable of freeing itself. The poor animal was left hanging over the balcony, choking and helpless. Even if not for the chain, the height of the balcony, three stories above the ground, would have posed a grave risk to the dog.
Miraculously, a man heard the anguished cries of the German Shepherd and rushed to its aid. Another neighbor had already attempted a rescue but had been unsuccessful. With the newcomer’s assistance, they managed to retrieve the dog back onto the balcony.
It was evident that the chain had inflicted severe lacerations on the dog’s neck, although, fortunately, they were not life-threatening. The living conditions on the balcony were nothing short of deplorable, with the dog confined amidst its filth, deprived of both sustenance and hydration.
The dog, with lacerations on its neck from the constricting chain, was subsequently transported to the Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals shelter. Here, it received the necessary medical attention for its injuries and underwent treatment for any illnesses or ailments it may have acquired during its harrowing confinement. Skilled veterinarians successfully mended the lacerations and administered the care needed for a full recovery.
After a few weeks of treatment, the German Shepherd, now named Bella, was transferred to the Special Needs Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation shelter. From there, she embarked on a journey to the United States, where a loving family had eagerly adopted her. Showered with the love and compassion she deserved, Bella could finally heal from the trauma of her past life in the grim balcony confinement.
Bella made a remarkable recovery and found contentment with her new family. She became a cherished companion to her new guardians and an integral part of their household, leaving behind the horrors of her previous existence on that unforgiving balcony.

It’s a Miracle! Abandoned Pregnant Dog in Critical Condition Still Able to Give Birth to 7 Puppies
On November 11th, a distressing report came in about a pregnant dog in critical condition. The situation was heart-wrenching – the dog had been abandoned in a box with a broken neck, just days away from giving birth. There were signs of violence on her frail body, and her puppies were at risk.
The rescuer who responded to the call, Kola Kariola, described the moment he first saw her as heartbreaking. The dog collapsed in his hands, her belly bleeding profusely. He rushed her to the vet where she received a blood transfusion and was stabilized, but her condition was still dire.
Kola consulted with his vet who recommended moving the dog to a larger hospital for further treatment. Her neck needed surgery to save her life, but they decided to wait until after she gave birth to her puppies. The next 48 hours were tense as the brave dog fought for her life and gave birth to 7 puppies, although 2 of them were stillborn. She was unable to feed her puppies, so Kola and his team had to step in and provide nourishment for them.
Despite the odds, the puppies survived, and it was truly a miracle. The mother dog, who was named Belinha, finally underwent her much-needed neck surgery, which was successful. She was then moved to a special room for post-operative care and observation for 72 hours. It was crucial for her to recover fully before being reunited with her puppies.
Kola expressed his gratitude towards Protetora Carol, who played a crucial role in saving Belinha’s life. It was her quick action and dedication to rescuing animals that brought Belinha to safety and enabled her to receive the medical care she desperately needed.
Belinha’s story is a testament to the resilience and strength of animals, as well as the power of compassionate individuals who go above and beyond to help those in need. It’s a reminder of the importance of reporting cases of animal cruelty and neglect, and taking action to help animals in distress. Belinha and her puppies are now on the road to recovery, thanks to the unwavering efforts of Kola, his vet team, and Protetora Carol. Their story is one of hope, compassion, and the incredible bond between humans and animals.
