Silver the Beautiful

 
Kitty Silver was one of many hundreds of thousands: homeless and scared on the streets of Eastern Europe. Only Silver knows the horrors he faced during the 5 short months he had been on this earth - hunger, cold, cruel people, large starving dogs, and countless diseases. While Silver managed to survive them all, his luck ran out one day when he was likely hit by a car and ended up with a badly broken leg. The rescuers took the sweet boy to the vet and X-rays showed the terrible damage clearly.
It was time to activate the network of supporters! Animal Aid International came to the rescue and we raised funds for sweet Silver's treatment. Our organization is so blessed to have donors from around the world who know the amazing difference which the $10 or $20 one person donates can make. Little Silver received proper treatment and healed fully!
Today, Silver is grown, happy, and very loved in a forever home. And we are once again inspired to help more innocent souls like this little boy!

If you would like to help animals like Silver, please head on over to our website and make a donation of any size today: http://animalaidinternational.org/

Charlie, the survivor

This is the story of a very special doggie rescued from the streets of Bulgaria and helped by Animal Aid International.
Charlie is no more than 2 years old and was somehow surviving on the streets of Bulgaria. Unfortunately, like so many other poor souls, he became victim of a cruel individual: Charlie was shot in the back! While the pallet didn't manage to kill Charlie, it lodged itself in his spine and caused  him to be unable to use the back half of his body. Which is how he was found - helpless and hopeless, scared and hungry. 
Charlie was taken to the best orthopedic specialists in town and, thanks to funds raised by Animal Aid International, he had surgery and rehabilitation. The road to recovery was very long and for quite some time we were not sure if he will be able to walk again. Charlie's first steps were weak and tentative. And yet in the midst of it all he kept trying and kept trusting the humans who surrounded him with love. That love was probably the first non-violent experience he had had with humans all his life. 
Today Charlie is able to walk again and has been adopted in a loving home! He has toys, and food, and safety, and all the love every single critter deserves!
Thanks to the loving support of people from around the world, Charlie has a new lease on life. And thanks to resilient, amazing beings like Charlie we are continually inspired to do the work that we do!
