In December 2023, we received a report of a dog stuck in a river and crying for its life.  We rescued him, and he appeared to have some injury to his head.  He was aggressive, leading us to worry if he was a rabies case, but as time passed we could rule that out.  He has now fully recovered and is a mischievous and loveable character! 

Raffi's Story

On 8 December 2023, we had reports of a dog heard crying from a river.
The reporter saw him being washed downstream and tried her hardest to get him out but couldn't. She monitored him while calling us for help.
By the time we got there he had managed to climb onto the bank but was in severe distress.

We were concerned he may have Rabies, as his aggressive behaviour seemed symptomatic, but time proved otherwise.  We believe he either fell or was thrown in and has sustained a head trauma.
There was no fracture on his skull luckily so over time, and with therapy, he fully recovered and developed into a very happy, well-adjusted bundle of energy!
