When Red lived with his owner, his life was mostly content. He had all he needed and was naturally loyal to his human dad. But while Red’s faithfulness was unwavering, his owner didn’t reciprocate. One heartbreaking day, Red was left on the streets, and his world turned upside down.
It was a nightmare. Though the neighbors loved Red and missed seeing him, his owner concocted excuses about the dog’s disappearance.
Five years later, a woman stumbled upon Red, recognizing him instantly. Red had survived alone, hiding under metal pipes. It was a heart-wrenching sight, and she quickly called for help.

The rescuers arrived swiftly. They found Red, who was a mix of happiness and fear. He didn’t know if these people meant harm or help, but he desperately needed assistance. Overcome by fear, he continued hiding until the rescuer sought help from the locals, who gladly assisted.
With their help, Red emerged from his hiding place without resistance. He seemed to understand their good intentions. As he was transported to safety, his tail wagged, and his rescuer gave him much-needed food.
The woman who found him remembered how Red loved playing with children in the neighborhood. It was heartbreaking to see what had happened to him. But now, a better life awaited him, albeit with its challenges.

Red had suffered immensely during his five-year ordeal. He ended up paralyzed, and veterinarians couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause. Diagnosed with discitis and severe vertebral infections, his chances of recovery were uncertain. The vets knew they needed a specialist, so they found one who took on Red’s case despite the grim outlook.
The new vet confirmed the severity of Red’s spine infection and couldn’t promise recovery. Nevertheless, they focused on therapy, providing fluids, antibiotics, and plenty of food.
Years of suffering had left Red traumatized. He was stressed around crowds, unsure whom to trust. Yet, with patient care, he began to heal both physically and mentally.

Though he still needs medication, Red has transformed from a forsaken, paralyzed dog into a sweet, lovable pup, eager for a special someone to share his life with. Here’s hoping Red finds that perfect forever home.
