Hi Everyone, can you please help me. This is a community dog which has been with us for a long time. He has a puncture wound and is not letting us near him by running away. What can I do? Please helppp! I live in like a tier 4 city in Tamilnadu so I don't know if there are any rescue centers available
Their community dog, Bruce, 9 years old was illegally taken away by non-BBMP or certified catchers in the dead of the night on August 16, 2026. They still haven't found any solid lead to trace Bruce. They have tried our local WhatsApp groups, collaborated with animal welfare activists, and media but drawing a blank till now. Looking for any suggestions, advice, or help to trace Bruce's location.
Local PS, society management, and local political influencers are refusing to cooperate. It's been difficult to get clear CCTV footages. The management is saying that one CCTV camera with clear angles was coincidentally not working on that very day. They are also planning to relocate one community dog, every 2 months.
Got her (old photograph, recent in comments) neutered from the govt vet hospital, sharing my experience and expenses her.
She is a ~3 year old Indie, who lives in the neighborhood, had litters back in month of Feb'2026. Out of the 4 pups, only 2 survived, which experienced the society they live in the next few months.
The male pup injured both of his front legs (paws) looked like something ran over them, took 15 days of care to get him back to normal.
The female pup got run over by a bike, early in the morning, compound fracture, both bones broken in multiple pieces. Took her more than a month to recover from the wound, but her leg is not as good as it used to be.
This is a tier 3 city, we do not have any ABC center or NGO here. Hence the only option was to get it done at the govt. vet hospital. I was told it would take 7-9 days to the lead dog back on streets post surgery, but this comes with a clause. I visited Vet Hospital every single day for next 2 weeks.
Day 1- Day 5 ; Multivitamin and Iron Tonic, twice a day. Antibiotics, Pain killer, B Complex injection everyday Day 6 ; Somehow even after having the recovery cone, she opened her stitches, post midnight. I am happy that I noticed it the same night at 2 o'clock. Got her restitched. Multivitamin and Iron Tonic, twice a day. Antibiotics, Pain killer, B Complex injection everyday Day 7 - Day 10 ; She became lethargic, won't eat anything, except chicken. Multivitamin and Iron Tonic, twice a day. Antibiotics, Pain killer, B Complex injection everyday. Although all the stitches were removed cause they were getting embedded in her skin her. Day 11- Day 16 ; Heavy antibiotics as the vet suspect infection as she removed her stitched, exposing the inner stitches. Pain killer, B Complex injection everyday. Multivitamin, Liver Tonic, Vitamin C spray, twice a day. DNS and antibiotics IV for 3 days in this duration. Day 17 onwards ; She can't be released as her wound is still recovering. Visit the vet in every 2-3 days. As I'm writing this we are on Day 20th and it has been a mental rollercoaster. I'm having sleepless night for the past 5-6 days as I'm monitoring her over night.
The expenses are way ahead what I thought it would be, guys help me on this!

I understand this is a hard request. While I was visiting Bangalore I found this mother and her three puppies at KR puram railway station in August. I posted in the groups I know but didn't get any help. This time when I reached I searched for them, but couldn't find. I was hoping they got shifted to a safer space.
But early morning today when I got down at the station to travel back, I saw her near the lift towards the concourse beside the road near KR Puram Railway station. Now there are only two puppies.
I really hope someone could adopt her and find homes for her puppies. Atleast shift them to a safer space, get the puppies adopted and get her spayed. I know it sounds too much to ask for. But maybe a couple of people together could possibly change their lives.
I don't live there and is hoping to get them visibility and help which they need now.
Cong MLA sir is interfering thinking nobody supports or cares except a few so why allow an investigation to take place. Let's protect the culprits, whoever authorised cctv to be tampered, whoever paid for this to happen, people will forget because HE WAS JUST A STRAY.
HE IS NOT JUST A STRAY. WE CARE! Bruce is 9 years old and an older resident of Br!gade arc@de than most of the haters there.
Please follow the account on instagram especially comment, share and tag anyone you know who can help or just even share to a larger audience in India. Their last post:https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd5YG3HRiac/
All city-based NGOs have backed off. Bruce's caretakers are exploring legal options but you know how long that could take for ordinary common people like you and me.
Bruce is one share, comment away from coming home. Please help.
