Help Street Dogs in Dharamsala and Save Lives

Hello DAR Friends, 

You just never know where life is going to take you, who you will meet, or what will have significant and lasting impact.

I certainly never would have predicted that a trip to Dharamsala in 2008 would turn my entire world upside down. Turning a life that was somewhat predictable into a life where I never know what is coming next. This can be a difficult career choice for me and my staff. There are language barriers, cultural differences, the sadness of losing animals to car accidents, disease, and regular maltreatment by humans. We get questioned about the importance of our work, "Why not humans? Why not children?"

Then comes a day, November 19, 2014, when you are randomly on the same plane as His Holiness, The 14th Dalai Lama. On this day, you are thanked for your work profusely. No questions asked! It gives you the much needed energy to keep doing what you are doing.

I am not a Buddhist. I am barely spiritual these days, but I do believe that DAR is on the right path.

Today, marks the day of our final fundraising push for 2014! It has been a great year thanks to all of you. We are trying to reach $10,000 by the end of the year. For everyone who donates $25 and above, DAR will send you a 2015 Calendar until supplies run out. (USA ONLY.) We are working on getting these shipped to other countries as well and we will notify you if this option becomes available. To donate, please go to our GlobalGiving Page:
