Please donate now Dear friends,  In Zambia, a gut-churning scenario unfolds as the illegal dog meat trade continues to cast its sinister shadow over animal victims of despicable cruelty, exploitation and abuse. Sometimes people’s pets are taken to illegal slaughter sites near markets and are then carved up and sold as meat while their friends watch in horror and wait their turn. Tragically, many of these animals were once beloved pets who have been stolen and chained up together, forced to witness their shared gruesome fate as they are mercilessly butchered one by one.

But the shelter is bursting at the seams and struggling to accommodate and properly care for the rapidly increasing population of dogs and cats rescued from abuse and the horrific dog meat trade.  A truck found full of dogs in transit for the dog meat trade.

For many of the animals, Cactus is the closest thing to a home they will ever know.  As animal lovers, we must give rescued shelter animals in Zambia the comfort, care and compassion they deserve. Without our help, they stand a slim chance of survival.

With your help, we can and WILL make a difference. Please, stand with us and help fight animal cruelty and the ruthless dog meat trade in Zambia! Please donate now We must equip our partner to aid traumatized victims of the dog meat trade. Our immediate priority is to help protect and care for these dogs.  Right now the dogs and cats urgently need food, medical care, and hygienic living areas. We must raise $5,000 (or £3,900) as quickly as possible to urgently get medical supplies and food for these animals in desperate need. Please, can they count on you today? Credit: NFA/Luke Barritt The dogs of Zambia desperately need your help. Please donate whatever you can. It will transform their lives. Please donate now After surviving the horrors of human cruelty and the brutal dog meat trade, the animals deserve no less than a full belly, a healthy body, a clean, comfortable space to sleep and, above all, love. Your donation today will give them all of this and so much more. So please, if you possibly can, donate generously to Network for Animals today and be the beacon of hope the vulnerable creatures of Zambia desperately deserve.  For the animals, Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!) CEO and Founder Network for Animals P.S. Your donation will help care for dogs rescued from terrible abuse and a ghastly dog meat trade that must be ended. We will fight to end the trade, but right now, food, medical care, and compassion are the most critical needs. Please donate today.
