We've Made a Real Difference with Your Help

The Animal Welfare Committee
The Animal Welfare Committee has accomplished a great deal since it's inception three years ago. Our Global Giving spay/neuter project raised almost $10,000 through the end of 2014 and we spayed/neutered 750 dogs (and a few cats!), as well as rescuing and raising litters born to street dogs. Our Global Giving emergency vet care project raised over $2,000 during 2015, and we provided care for dogs hit by cars, bitten by poisonous snakes, dying from erlichia (a tick borne disease), and more. None of it would have been possible without your donations, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Both projects are now fully funded, and the good work continues with other resources.

The $2,000 You Donated in 2015 Made a World of Difference

Elena is one of our many lucky dogs!
The $2,000 you donated in 2015 made a world of difference for street dogs who would otherwise have died. Dedicated volunteers donate their time and love, but they depend on your monetary donations to provide critical veterinary care. Thanks to you, we treated and saved dogs with an otherwise fatal tick disease (erlichia), dogs bitten by poisonous snakes, dogs hit by cars, and dogs with tumors. All of the dogs were also spayed/neutered, and had a place to call home this holiday season.
There are still a few days left to make a tax deductible donation in 2015, and 100% of the donations we receive from GlobalGiving pay for emergency veterinary care for homeless street dogs.
THANK YOU for helping us save the lives of street dogs who need emergency veterinary care.

How Many People Walked Past This Dog?

Hershey is treated at a veterinary clinic.
How many people walked past this dog, and for how many days and weeks and months? Fortunately she was still alive when someone finally stopped on their way to a day at the beach, but they need your help to pay her vet bills.
The truth is that often people don't stop because they can't afford to. They may not have money to feed her, let alone pay a veterinarian to treat her erlichia, a tick borne disease. And the responsibility doesn't end there. She needs to be spayed and placed in a forever home. But in a country with an estimated one million street dogs, available homes are hard to find.
Hershey has a name now, and she is receiving the love and care she deserves. Please make a donation to help her and others like her.
