A paralysed dog named Harley was dumped in landfill and left to die. The chances of the abandoned pooch surviving were low – but thankfully, a miracle happened. The Collie mix was rescued from the rubbish tip in Turkey by charity workers, who are now desperately trying to find a home for him in the UK.
Miracle Missions, who are tirelessly searching for his forever home, said: "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, who believe he was struck by a vehicle. Regrettably, his back legs were irreparable, leading the vet to recommend amputation. After consulting with British 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. The charity added: "He remains a spirited and loving dog. His disability doesn't define him and he still has so much love to give.".
Currently residing in a foster home in Ipswich, Harley is on the lookout for a "loving home that can care for an incontinent dog." His foster family describes him as intelligent, patient, and adaptable, noting: "He has adapted quickly and easily to his new life. He has been friendly to everyone he has met including cats.".
