Lisa's New Wheels—A Second Chance at VOSA Hapur
Lisa's journey is one that embodies both the heartbreak and hope that define life at the Voice of Stray Animals (VOSA) Hapur shelter.
Lisa's Rescue
Lisa was found on the streets, unable to move her hind legs after a suspected road accident. Like many paralyzed dogs in India, Lisa's chances of survival on her own were slim. She was brought to VOSA Hapur, where founder Harendra Singh and his team specialize in caring for paralyzed and special-needs dogs [5][2].
Life at the Shelter
At the shelter, Lisa received immediate medical attention and was welcomed into a community of over 100 paralyzed dogs, each with their own story of survival [5]. The team at VOSA Hapur provided her with nutritious food, regular physiotherapy, and a safe, loving environment. Despite her disability, Lisa's spirit remained unbroken—she was playful, affectionate, and quickly became a favorite among the staff.
A Gift of Mobility
Understanding that mobility is key to quality of life for paralyzed dogs, VOSA Hapur arranged for Lisa to receive a custom wheelchair. The moment Lisa was fitted into her new wheels was transformative: she was able to move independently, explore her surroundings, and play with other dogs for the first time since her accident [2]. Her joy was infectious, and she inspired everyone at the shelter to see beyond disability.
Lisa's Impact
Lisa's story is a testament to the power of compassion and innovation. Thanks to the dedication of Harendra Singh and the support of donors, Lisa now lives a life full of dignity and happiness. Her journey also highlights the urgent need for resources—such as wheelchairs, medical equipment, and ongoing care—to help more dogs like her.
Lisa is just one of many at VOSA Hapur who have been given a second chance.
