A mother dog with a damaged jaw had been living on the streets of a small village in India for several weeks. Despite her unkempt look, she was a kind and affectionate dog who approached anybody who approached her.

However, a concerned citizen noted that the dog’s jaw was hanging crookedly and that she appeared to be in a lot of pain one day.
Closer investigation revealed that the mother Dog had a fractured jaw. Pinky, a mother dog with a badly damaged jaw, is a testament to the devotion and hard work of such groups.

Pinky was living on the streets with her puppies when she was saved by folks who spotted her damage and took her in. The poor dog was clearly in pain, bleeding from the mouth, and having difficulty breathing. She was transported to the RRSA India animal shelter, which promptly realized the seriousness of her illness and hurried her to the doctor for treatment.

Despite her pain and discomfort, the mother dog remained exceptionally kind and gentle. As the rescue crew arrived, she waggled her tail and even kissed their hands as they attempted to inspect her jaw. To preserve the mother dog’s life, the crew knew they needed to act immediately.

The mother dog was delicately hoisted into a carrier and sent to the RRSA India animal hospital. She was given antibiotics to treat the infection as well as pain medicine to alleviate her discomfort. The vets decided that the best course of action would be to wire the mother dog’s jaw shut so that it could mend correctly.
The mother dog was kept at the animal hospital for many weeks, where she was closely observed and given the care she needed to heal.

Pinky had been struck by a car and had several fractures in her jaws and teeth, according to the x-rays. The wound was septic, and if not treated, it would have killed her in a couple of weeks.
The veterinarian determined that the only alternative was to remove the majority of her diseased lower jaw and teeth. Pinky underwent surgery and was cared for in a foster home.

Pinky’s recovery was a long and difficult one. She had to be fed partially through a tube for nearly a month, but the love and care she received from the shelter workers and foster home helped her recuperate.
The mother dog’s jaw healed over time, and she was able to eat and drink regularly again. Her gentle and caring demeanor won over her foster family, who opted to permanently adopt her.

The mother dog was finally strong enough to be placed in a foster home, and that was the day. She was adopted by a caring family who had previous experience with special-needs canines. They continued to care for her, providing her with the medication she needed and transporting her to follow-up vet appointments.
Today, the mother dog is doing well in her new home. She has a comfortable bed to sleep in, lots of food to eat, and all of the love and care she deserves. Her rescue tale is a testament to the power of love and compassion, and it serves as a reminder that every animal deserves a second chance.

Pinky’s tale is just one of the countless rescues that take place at RRSA India every day. These rescues would not be feasible without the community’s support. The shelter relies on donations to provide medical care, food, and shelter to animals in need. Many animals, like Pinky, would be allowed to suffer and perish on the streets if such support was not provided.
