We wish we were writing to you with happier news.

Instead, today we are asking you to help save a dog whose suffering is almost beyond comprehension.

Her name is Kali.

When Susmita and her team from For The Animals in India found her, Kali was in agony. Someone had allegedly attacked her with a machete. The blow tore away a large portion of her nose, leaving her unable to eat properly and struggling with excruciating pain.

No animal should ever endure such cruelty.

Yet despite everything that had been done to her, Kali was still fighting to survive.

She needs urgent surgery, intensive veterinary care, intravenous fluids, medication, and continued hospitalization while veterinarians do everything possible to stabilize her condition and rebuild what this horrific act has taken from her.

The truth is that emergency cases like Kali’s arrive without warning. Rescuers don’t have the luxury of waiting until funds are available. They act first because lives depend on it.

Susmita has stood beside countless animals that others have abandoned. Through our partnership with Animals First Aid, we have helped her provide food, medical treatment, and hope to vulnerable dogs who had no one else.

Now Kali needs us.

It is impossible to understand how someone could inflict such violence on a defenseless animal. But we can choose how this story ends.

We can choose compassion.

We can choose action.

We can choose to tell Kali that although one person hurt her terribly, many more people around the world are willing to help her heal.

Will you please make an emergency gift today?

A gift of $35 can help provide essential medication and wound care.

A gift of $50 can help cover examinations and diagnostic costs.

A gift of $75 or more can help fund Kali’s surgery and hospitalization as she begins the long journey toward recovery.

Every dollar will bring relief to a dog who has suffered far too much already.

Kali did not deserve what happened to her.

But she deserves the chance to heal.

Thank you for standing with Animals First Aid and the brave rescuers who refuse to turn away from animals in desperate need. Because of supporters like you, lives that seemed beyond saving are given another chance.

Today, that chance belongs to Kali.

P.S. Kali cannot wait. Her injuries require immediate medical intervention and ongoing care. Please send your most generous gift today to help give this brave girl the treatment she urgently needs.
