Dog Suffers Through Weeks of Agony After Being Nailed to the Ground in Harz
A Little Hero Needs Our Help Now: Luke from the Harz
It's time to lend a paw, folks! Luke, a courageous little pup hailing from the Harz region, is in need of urgent medical attention.
The race against time begins
To ensure Luke receives the vital surgery he desperately needs, the Harz animal shelter is in dire need of your assistance right away.
Let's make the Harz a happier place for Luke
Veterinary care for animals can be a financial burden, and animal shelters are no exception. They tirelessly take in and nurse animals who are often neglected, old, or sick, with the ultimate goal of finding them loving new homes.
Harz: Beware of high forest fire risk! Popular attraction goes dark
Luke's heartwrenching story was shared in a moving message to News38 by animal protectors from Quedlinburg, Harz region: "Hey everyone, it's me, Luke. I had surgery in Braunschweig for my patella luxation." Patellar luxation in dogs is a dislocation of the kneecap, causing pain, lameness, and potential long-term joint damage.
The Harz animal shelter's call for aid
Luke's tendons have been severely shortened due to his devastating condition, requiring regeneration. This means poor Luke will have to endure some pain, but his brave spirit continues to impress everyone, even the veterinarian. Luke's physiotherapy to improve mobility will soon begin, though the date is yet to be finalized at a follow-up appointment. Unfortunately, Luke's ordeal doesn't end there, as his other leg also requires surgery, but unfortunately, the funds for this aren't available yet. Help Luke and the animal protectors by donating as soon as possible.
