RE: Welcome to Svilos Animal Shelter! | Animal Care Austria | My adventures as a volunteer photographer
A huge thank to your sister for adopting this dog! <3
Unfortunately, it is not rare for us to find dogs with bullets in them in areas like Serbia and Hungary :(
Now a days there are wonderful solutions for handicapped dogs and they can live & enjoy their lives to the fullest, so even if he won't be able to use his hind legs again, a wheelchair can be a great solution.

Until he gets his wheelchair, he crawls around in the yard like a seal - quite quick too! Just the other dog she has (also a rescue) is sort of hyperactive, a mousehunter who stops and starts digging every few step out in nature - but she has to be kept away from him, because she is too rough and wants to play .... I looked at these, but she has to find a place in Austria where they make them to measure, rather than guessing by mailorder. https://www.handicappedpets.com/adjustable-dog-wheelchairs/
The most famous ones are Eddie's Wheels. They make them per order and they have instructions how to measure the dog: https://eddieswheels.com/p/26/A-Visual-Guide-to-Measuring-Your-Dog
Though they are in the US and I'm not sure how the import will be with customs and such..
I don't know of someone in Austria, but I can ask around.
