Abandoned and Severely Injured, This Husky Is Now Fighting for a Second Chance
When a woman in Cairo, Egypt, heard the agonizing cries of an animal, she followed the sound and discovered a heartbreaking sight—a beautiful Husky lying helpless on the side of the road. The dog, later named Debi, was in excruciating pain, unable to move, and still had an IV inserted in her leg.
It was clear to the woman that Debi had been abandoned after being used for unknown purposes. Without hesitation, the good samaritan reached out to the Animal Protection Foundation (APF), an Egyptian animal charity, hoping to get the dog the urgent help she desperately needed.
Debi Needs Help to Walk Again
After receiving the alert, APF’s rescue team rushed to save Debi. They found the wailing Husky couldn’t stand and barely even moved, indicating paralysis. Without wasting any time, they transported her to their clinic, where she was given painkillers to ease her suffering.
While the details of her past mistreatment remain unknown, vets suspect a neurological issue is preventing her from moving — a condition often more challenging to treat than physical injuries.
The cost of Debi’s thorough testing and ongoing care is high. To support her recovery, the charity has partnered with CUDDLY, a fundraising platform for nonprofit animal rescues, to raise the necessary funds and bring Debi closer to healing.
An Uplifting Update
When Debi first arrived at APF’s clinic, vets had little hope that she would ever move again. However, thanks to ongoing medical care and generous donations, Debi has made remarkable progress—she can now sit on her own, according to a recent update shared by the charity.
Even more promising, she has started trying to stand. With continued support and treatment, the charity remains hopeful that she will be walking soon. Debi’s journey isn’t over yet, but every small step brings her closer to a full recovery.
“No animal deserves to be abandoned and left to suffer, especially after being used and discarded like Debi. Her story is heartbreaking, but with kindness, donations, and proper care, we can help her stand again—both physically and emotionally,” remarks Rocky Kanaka, pet rescue advocate.
