About
Imagine a scene of chilling winds, biting cold and snow swirling around a paralysed dog. Huddled amidst the rubbish, shivering, hungry and utterly alone, is Harley. His rescuers found him at a landfill, desperately trying to find food and shelter in the midst of a harsh winter.
Harley underwent assessment and x-rays at the vet’s. Regrettably, his back legs were irreparable, leading the vet to recommend amputation. After consulting with UK vets, his rescuers decided to hold off on any procedures for now. It’s a miracle that he has survived as long as he did in his condition. They believe he was hit by a car and left untreated leading to his paralysis.
Currently, Harley is staying in a dog house within someone’s garden at least free from the anxieties of the landfill site. Turkey offers no long-term solution for Harley. Finding a loving home there is impossible there.
He will be neutered when in the UK, upon vets advice.
Harley is paralysed in his back legs and incontinent, which adds to the challenges he faces. However, despite this, he remains a spirited and loving dog. His disability doesn’t define him and he still has so much love to give.
Harley, with his sweet and playful nature, embodies the epitome of canine charm. A docile companion with a heart of gold, he exudes warmth and affection in every wag of his tail. His playful antics and gentle demeanour make him a beloved friend to both dogs and cats alike, fostering bonds of friendship wherever he goes. Harley seeks solace in the reassuring presence of those who cherish him, finding comfort in the simple joys of companionship and affection.
