Help Street Dogs in Dharamsala and Save Lives

Dear DAR Supporters! 

Meet Ash. Ash was found with a rope tied around his neck. 

The rope must have been put on him when he was much smaller, because by the time we found him, we had to cut it off and it had caused the huge open wound shown in the photograph above. 

We are not sure why, but many local villagers tie ropes and strings around dogs necks and tails when they are puppies. Sometimes, it is for superstitious reasons—one being that by tying a rope or string, it will make the dog a better protector for you home and family, or that a dog will not pee or poop in your house. 

We are working in the communities to teach people this is not humane and simply not true. Most of the time it causes issues similar to Ash's. 

Luckily, after 3 weeks at DAR, Ash is now happy and almost healed.  And this is thanks to you.

DAR would not exist without you, our dear supporters and friends. Thank you for all your generous donations throughout the years. It cost us $7,800 (5,600 GBP), per month to run the rescue. This week, we hope you join us as we raise funds for DAR with the help of the Global Giving Little by Little campaign. 

Today, April 9th through April 13th,Global Giving will match donations up to $50 at 50% while funds remain!

 And guess what, $50 is all it costs to take a dog like Ash from rescue to recovery.  So donate this week, and share this message with all of your animal loving friends. Ash and thes stray dogs of Dharamsala will be forever grateful.
