Meet Mouky.
Mouky
He was living on the streets of Cairo, Egypt and was seriously injured. Probably hit by a vehicle. He lost the use of his hind legs. The rescue who took him and the vets available to them were not equipped to provide the care he needed to be able to walk again. He was very thin, his hind legs were drawn up, muscles atrophied, and sores on his thighs where he drug himself around on a rough floor. He was very loved by his caretakers but in pretty rough shape!

Arrangements were made and Mouky was flown to Dulles Airport, where he was picked up and brought to Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary in September of 2015!

He immediately started getting several sessions of physical therapy and massage every single day. He started kicking and trying to stand. Within two months of being here, he started walking and RUNNING and can now even JUMP up on things!

Still today, three years later, he occasionally gets tired and his hind legs get a bit wobbly, but he just takes a quick rest and he is back in business!
