Meet Gor. He survived unimaginable cruelty and is fighting for his life right now. With your help, he can heal, recover, and have a safe future—far from the horrors he endured.
Local officials were driving through a small rural village when they heard something that stopped them cold. A dog was screaming. Not barking. Screaming. Choking, wheezing, crying in a way that no longer sounded like an animal.
They followed the sound and found a nightmare.
A large Central Asian Shepherd was tied to a tree with a thick rope. Several men were standing around him, laughing. Children were running nearby. The men were beating the dog over the head with a shovel.
They had just started, enjoying themselves. But the dog had been tied there much longer. You could see it on his neck. The rope had cut deep into the skin from how hard he tried to break free.
The officials rushed in, shouting, trying to stop it. A fight almost broke out. Eventually, the men backed off and animal control was called immediately. When confronted, the men openly said the dog had been roaming the village and stealing chickens. They explained, without shame, that bullets cost money. A shovel was cheaper. And killing him slowly was “entertainment.”
They were angry not because of what they had done, but because someone stopped them. Because their children didn’t get to watch.
When Gor was untied, he collapsed. He had no strength left to stand. He had to be transported under sedation because he no longer understood who was trying to help and who wanted to hurt him.
Gor was taken to an animal control facility, where by pure chance our volunteer was there photographing dogs. She saw Gor.
We rushed him straight to the clinic.
At first, everyone feared his skull was crushed. Miraculously, the bone itself wasn’t broken. The men were interrupted in time. But his head was covered in deep, severe wounds.
Then the vets noticed something else. His abdomen was dangerously swollen. X-rays showed gastric torsion and acute stomach dilation. A condition that, especially in this breed, is almost always fatal without immediate surgery.
Despite his critical head injuries, Gor was taken straight into emergency surgery. There was no time to wait.
Gor is also severely underweight. He is missing around 44 pounds (20 kg) from his normal body weight, the result of prolonged hunger and neglect. The stomach torsion likely happened from starvation. He had been eating whatever he could find. Bones, scraps, anything. His stomach was packed.
Gor survived unimaginable cruelty. But survival now comes with a cost.
Emergency surgery. Intensive care. Treatment for head trauma. Pain management. Recovery that will not be fast or easy.
We are asking for help to give him a chance at a life that doesn’t revolve around suffering.
Please help us be there for him now. 🙏🐾
Our focus right now is not on investigations or outcomes. It’s on Gor. On his recovery, his safety, and giving him a future far away from violence.
