Walking with a wheelchair

People can be cruel! One (fortunately living) example of this is German shepherd "Baby", who was thrown out of a moving car at the age of three months and has been traveling with a wheelchair ever since. The animal shelter in Cyprus that looks after him is dependent on donations.

At the beginning of March, the then three-month-old German shepherd "Baby" was thrown out of a car - and in front of another car. Two young men watched as the puppy was badly injured and left there to die, and intervened. Despite the intensive efforts of a team of vets, the four-legged friend will remain paralyzed forever and is dependent on a dog wheelchair.

"But what 'Baby' needs even more urgently is a home. Someone who would take care of him," writes animal rights activist Birgit Wimmer from Cyprus. However, the animal shelter is also looking for support in general, as there is a shortage everywhere. "The shelter currently needs hay and straw for the donkeys, but I could write the list endlessly," says Wimmer. Anyone interested in adopting the German shepherd "Baby" can contact "Animal Rescue Cyprus " directly, and donations can also be made on the website.
