Community Bonds Together To Rescue A Dog Hanging From The Balcony Of His Abusive Home
A quiet neighborhood in Russia turned into a rescue scene when a dog’s cries echoed from a second-story balcony. What the residents found was hard to believe, a terrified pup hanging upside down, half her body trapped outside the home.
Children spotted the dog first, and adults quickly rushed in to help. A man climbed a ladder, freed her from the opening, and the crowd was left stunned by how thin and weak she looked. The dog, later named Rada, was taken to a clinic while the search for her owner and the truth behind her condition began.
For now, the community is focused on her recovery, and her story is only getting more heartbreaking from here.
Meet Rada, the dog who tried to escape from her horrible home and was rescued by kind strangers
Here she was mid-howl, helpless and waiting for someone to save her

Rada is free!
No dog deserves this kind of treatment. The poor pup looks so thin and scared.
Rada at the clinic
When Rada arrived at the vet, everyone knew she badly needed help—and quickly. She was diagnosed with anemia, a blood disorder pertaining to hemoglobin deficiency.
The clinic staff deduced that Rada is anemic because she is malnourished and abused. She's in bad shape, but at least she is now receiving much-needed love and care.
This is just like the abandoned dog who waited 3 days for her owners at the construction site, then refused to leave.
Rada's eyes tell every awful story she's been through
After her trip to the clinic, Rada now needs a temporary home while she recovers. Unfortunately, the nearest animal shelters refused to give Rada a home.
An hour passed with nothing, and suddenly the community received good news! Rada found a foster home!
The people from the Do Good Animal Protection Society offered to temporarily house the recovering dog.
She is now given a loving home.

The poor dog's tail is tucked between her legs; she's scared of everything
Rada was frightened, and for good reason. They finally found her abusive owner, and he is much worse than you would expect.
Rada's unnamed owner is no stranger to the police. In fact, he is a known alcoholic who enjoys getting drunk with his friends, making a mess, and being a general nuisance.
The authorities are frequent visitors to his home, but for other violations not concerning Rada. To their shock, he didn't care about being punished or breaking the law.
He paid the fine and continued being, well, the way he is. One local volunteer was fed up with his behavior and filed an animal cruelty complaint against Rada's owner.
This dog deserves all the love in the world
When the authorities investigated further, it was revealed that the abusive owner went out of town. He left Rada and a cat alone in the apartment, waiting for them to die.
No wonder Rada tried to escape. Sadly, unlike Rada's successful escape, the poor cat died in the horrible home.
Rada is now in a safe and warm place
Here's Rada recovering in the home where the Do Good Animal Protection Society fostered her
She is on her way to recovery, and she's taking it one step at a time
We're all rooting for you, Rada!
We hope that stories like Rada's become less frequent in the future. Our furry companions deserve all the love and warmth we can shower upon them. Be kind to your animals.
Fur-parents, what do you think of Rada's story? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Wait until you see how the underweight dog that collapsed in traffic gets rescued and thrives.
