An injured stray dog’s whirlwind journey from a wind farm to a loving home—Turbo has been through the mill but life is now generating new opportunities for this young ball of energy.
The dog, now named Pickle, was incredibly thin and weak. After a few attempts, we successfully removed the jar, and our rescuer swiftly took him to one of our trusted vets in Taipei.
So far, Sparkles’ vet bill has reached a total of NT$123,165 (£3,232 / US$3,996), but continues to go up every week due to ongoing treatment and tests. Last month, she was rushed to the hospital again due to severe dental bleeding and crashing kidneys, and spent two weeks in the ICU.
Eventually, our rescuer discovered the suffering stray cat lying in the shade under an air-conditioning fan, looking near death.
Er Bao’s wound was deep and infected, and it looked very painful. The friendly dog needed urgent medical attention, so we brought him to Dr. Huang at A-New Veterinary Hospital, who examined him and determined the necessary treatment.
Jinny, a young stray dog, was recently rescued by our animal-rescue charity after she was spotted struggling to walk on a mountain road just outside Taipei City. She had a gin trap biting into her front-left paw, and our rescuer’s tireless efforts ultimately led to her rescue.
Big Changes Underway As you may know, Animal Care Trust has, for the last six years, worked closely and almost exclusively with ACT for Animals,
With the trap set up on level ground, baited with pieces of hot dog, and tested to ensure in good working order, we retreated to allow the dog to feel less nervous and thus more likely to go in.
The more recently maimed stray kept her distance from our rescuers and disappeared into the trees when they tried to carefully approach her.
Painkillers mean he’s not suffering while awaiting surgery, thankfully, and he no longer has to struggle to find food on that fast and dangerous mountain road.
