Animal Aid Unlimited has been working to rescue and provide care for homeless street animals since 2002. The organization relies on residents of Udaipur to call them when they find an animal in need.
The organization then comes out to rescue the animal.
“Animal Aid is the lifeline for thousands of animals who otherwise wouldn’t stand a chance. With the involvement of thousands of Udaipur residents who have become aware of street animal’s needs, we have rescued more than 65,000 injured or ill dogs, cows, donkeys, birds and cats to date,” their website reads.
When locals spotted an injured donkey, that collapsed with a bleeding leg, they called Animal Aid Unlimited, India. The donkey’s abusive owner had tied the donkey up.
The donkey attempted to get free and wound up with the rope deeply embedded in its leg.
The poor donkey was left in excruciating pain. It was quite the nasty sight and the donkey could have been there festering for days or even weeks. He eventually collapsed and wasn’t able to stand on his injured leg.
The donkey seemed to look hopeful when the rescuers arrived and as if he knew they were there to help.
He stood up when asked and the rescuers had him hop over to a rescue vehicle.
Several of the rescuers hoisted the donkey up and into the rescue vehicle. He was then taken for medical attention. Rescuers removed the rope from his leg as the poor donkey, who they named Leon, moaned in pain.
The rope was so deep it almost severed his foot. The veterinarian staff cleaned his wound and wrapped it up so that it could heal properly.
There seemed to be a sense of relief on the donkey’s face after the procedure.
He still hopped around and couldn’t stand on his injured leg but eventually, his leg grew stronger.
“This brave boy had endured so much pain but now Leon could finally be happy with comfort rest and love,” the organization said.
And Leon is looking a lot happier these days and enjoy affection from the staff, getting brushed, and having enough food to eat. The video of Leon’s rescue had been viewed more than 157,00 times.
“This genuinely broke my heart. What a beautiful, sweet boy. Thank You so much, Animal Aid.,” said another.
