From Tragedy to Triumph: The Story of Star, the Paralyzed Dog Who Found Hope

Meet Star, a one-year-old dog who has been through a lot in his short life. In November 2022, Star was hit by a car, leaving him with critical injuries.

The accident exacerbated an old injury to his lumbar spine, causing total paralysis of his hind legs. Despite his injuries, Star remained a fighter, dragging himself around the streets with deep wounds on his legs and back.

Ras Al Khaimah Animal Welfare Center to the rescue

Luckily, the team at the Ras Al Khaimah Animal Welfare Center found him and provided the medical attention he needed to recover.

However, it was determined that nothing could be done medically to fix Star’s paralysis. The shelter’s only hope was to find a loving home where he could receive the care he needed to live a comfortable life.

Star`s Recovery

Despite his physical limitations, Star’s spirit remained unbroken. He was affectionate toward humans, both big and small, and got along well with cats and dogs.

He was also super laid-back and calm, making him the perfect housemate. The only extra care he required was a change of diaper a few times a day.

Throughout Star’s recovery, the staff at the shelter shared updates on his progress on their Facebook page. People all over the world were captivated by Star’s story and rallied around him, sending well wishes and love.

Finally, on March 4th, Star’s journey took a big step forward. He found a long-term foster family in Germany, where he will be able to live out the rest of his days in comfort and surrounded by love.

Although the staff at the Ras Al Khaimah Animal Welfare Center were heartbroken to say goodbye to their beloved Star, they were also proud and happy that he had found a loving home.

Star’s story is a testament to the resilience of animals and the power of kindness. Despite his hardships, he never lost his spirit or his love for humans.

Thanks to the dedication of the team at the Ras Al Khaimah Animal Welfare Center and the support of people around the world, Star’s journey has been one of hope, love, and a brighter future
