Rusty’s Rescue: A Call for Support from Animals & Us Fujairah

In the scorching heat of a day that seemed never-ending, a call for rescue reached the compassionate team at Animals & Us Fujairah. Their hearts sank upon hearing about a severely injured dog in desperate need of help.

Rusty, as they would later call him, was struggling to walk, and his open wounds left him in excruciating pain. The situation was dire, and there was no time to spare.

A dedicated individual rescuer had stumbled upon Rusty, but the injuries were too severe for them to act alone. With temperatures soaring, the team knew they couldn’t leave him there, risking heatstroke that could prove fatal within hours. There was no other option—Rusty needed immediate assistance.

Michelle, a tireless member of Animals & Us, had already spent the entire night rescuing other dogs in distress when the call about Rusty came in. Despite her exhaustion, she couldn’t ignore the plea for help.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she set off to aid this poor, injured boy. But the weight of the mission was immense. How could one woman bear the burden of so many innocent lives in peril?

Rusty was not alone in his suffering. In the same night, Animals & Us had rescued nine other dogs, including vulnerable pups and an injured mother. Their work was relentless, and the urgency to save lives was at an all-time high. Michelle hadn’t slept a wink, yet her unwavering commitment propelled her to drive nearly an hour to Rusty’s location.

Now, thanks to the dedication of Animals & Us and the rescuer community, Rusty is on his way to the vet, where he will receive the care he so desperately needs. His journey to recovery has only just begun, but the road ahead is long and challenging.

The truth is, Animals & Us Fujairah is facing a crisis. The number of rescues is escalating, and their resources are stretched thin. The weight of their compassionate mission to protect innocent lives is taking its toll. They need your support now more than ever.
