Your Donations In ACTION May 2023

Dear friends In May, your support once again touched the lives of animals who have seldom known human kindness. Here are the animals your support helped in May. Hidalgo, Mexico  Providing street dogs like brutally blinded Molly with critically needed care In Mexico, an estimated 18 to 20 million abandoned street dogs roam the streets unsterilized, in desperate search of food and shelter. Mexico is one of the worst nations for abusing animals, and countless street dogs fall victim to terrible maltreatment. One tragic example is Molly, who was rushed to our partner clinic, the Fiona Animal Refuge (FAR), after being hit on the back of her head with such force that it caused both eyes to bulge out of their sockets. Tragically, the vet could not save her eyes, and both had to be surgically removed. Molly will be blind for the rest of her life.  We helped our partner save Molly and she has now found a forever home, but she is just one of millions of abandoned and abused animals suffering terribly in impoverished areas. Thanks to your support, we are providing FAR with ongoing support to rescue, treat, sterilize and rehome the desperately needy street dogs of Mexico.  Read the original article.

Your heart went out to her and through your support, we will be able to cover the cost of her surgery and long-term rehabilitation - including fitting her with a prosthetic leg! The last item on her wish list? A loving home of her own. Read Frida’s story. Sangkhlaburi, Thailand  Funding Ping Ping the street dog’s surgery for an agonizing prolapsed uterus Recently, our dedicated partners at the Sangkhlaburi Animal Sanctuary performed an emergency surgery to save the life of Ping Ping, a street dog suffering from the most grotesque and surely excruciating affliction. A miscarriage had left rotting tissue inside her body, causing a giant prolapsed uterus that pushed the poor pup’s swollen and infected bladder outside her body. Fortunately - thanks to our fast-acting partner and resources from previous, caring generosity like yours - Ping Ping pulled through! But she is still suffering from severe anemia, infection and a separate hernia.  Through your support, we were able to contribute towards Ping Ping’s long-term recovery, including critically needed medicines, food and an additional surgery. Thank you for being a friend to poor Ping Ping.  Read the original article.

Thankfully, all three dogs and Shireen are fine, but the driver responsible for the accident was uninsured and unlicensed, which means that any insurance claim will be complex and drawn-out, and could take many months - or longer - to resolve. Fallen Angels could not be without an animal rescue vehicle for that long - their absence was a serious blow to animals in painfully poor areas of the Western Cape, who rely on the FA vehicle to bring them food and care.   We reached out to you with a desperate plea to get our partner back on the road, and your response was overwhelming. Thanks to your unwavering support, we have raised enough funds to replace the Fallen Angels vehicle and get the team back to doing what they do best - saving animal lives. Read the original article. Gloria’s Little Acts of Kindness Your regular support helps us give even more to four-legged friends in need. Cape Town, South Africa - Vet bills, be gone! Thanks to your support, we were able to contribute $2,400 (around  £2,000) towards vet costs for Howlelujah Foundation in South Africa - a hard-working and chronically overstretched shelter caring for street dogs and cats. This covered the sterilization and vaccination of 80 cats and dogs, as well as treatment for their medical needs. Read more… Credit: Howlelujah Foundation Latest Updates Bulawayo, Zimbabwe - Sheba the cat. Sweet Sheba, the street cat discovered with painful injuries that made it nearly impossible for her to walk, has made a remarkable recovery and is even walking on her own! This amazing turnaround was only made possible by the dedicated team at Matabeleland Animal Rescue and Equine Sanctuary's Community Cat Sanctuary (MCC) and your generous donations! Watch the video… Credit: MARES Aqaba, Jordan - Al Rabee Shelter welcomes our NFA kennel manager! We’re thrilled to tell you that our roving kennel manager, Simpiwe Ludaku, has arrived in Aqaba, Jordan, at the Al Rabee Shelter for dogs!

Simpiwe will take on the challenge of improving and enriching the lives of these precious dogs while working hard to enhance the shelter's conditions. There's much work to be done, but we have faith in our team and together we can make a difference. Read more... World Donkey Day - May 9, 2023. In early May, the world celebrated World Donkey Day.
