Nikko

Nikko's story is distressing, but by no means uncommon. We rescued him on 16 October 2024 - discarded like trash, walked by, ignored, until someone finally reported him at least.  He was named 
Nikko after a supporter's beloved dog that passed.

We may never know what he went through to land him in this critical state, but xrays showed dislocations to both his front legs which was indicative of them being tied behind his back.

Eventually, he began to eat, and our hopes rose but on 30 October, he started struggling to breathe. We put him on oxygen therapy and bronchodilator medication, but he went into respiratory failure and passed away.
It really takes an emotional toll on us, looking after these sweet souls in such terrible states of neglect.
We watch them fight, we fight alongside them giving them absolutely everything they need.
Then we lose them.
Without you and your support, dogs like Nikko would never have had the chance to experience love and care.
Despite the difficulties, we will do it again and again and again, if it means a dog or cat does not have to die a lonely painful death on the streets.
Run Free Nikko.
