| 2025 - A Year You Turned Compassion Into Action
Dear friends ,
As 2025 comes to a close, we want to speak from the heart to the people who carried Animals First Aid and our partners through one of the most demanding years we have faced. This year tested every shelter, every rescuer, and every system meant to protect animals—but it also revealed something powerful: when supporters stand together, lives are saved. Because of you, help arrived where it mattered most. |

| | | | In Morocco, our ongoing partnership with You Can Save Me (YCSM) continued to shelter dogs and cats rescued from abandonment, cruelty, and life on the streets. The images from December tell their own story—rescued dogs finally resting in shade, cats receiving daily meals and care, and a team of tireless women showing up every day despite exhaustion and rising costs. Your donations helped keep bowls full, veterinary care accessible, and vulnerable animals protected during one of the hardest times of the year. |
|
| | | | In Turkey, your support reached animals living through relentless hardship. Through our partnership with Minik, dogs and cats caught in the aftermath of displacement, poverty, and ongoing crisis received food, medical attention, and safety when options were painfully limited. These are animals who would have been invisible without intervention. Because you acted, Minik was able to continue rescues, stabilize injured animals, and provide daily care in conditions that would overwhelm even the strongest hearts. Turkey was not forgotten—your compassion crossed borders and reached them. |

| | | | In Liberia, your generosity helped transform entire communities. With your support, the Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society (LAWCS) delivered lifesaving veterinary care to dogs and cats who would otherwise have gone untreated. Just as importantly, education and outreach began changing how communities view animals—laying the groundwork for long-term welfare and coexistence. As Executive Director Morris Darbo shared in his year-end message, your support created healthier animals, stronger human-animal bonds, and real hope for 2026 |

|
| | Across Serbia, Tunisia, South Africa, India, Tanzania, and other regions where need never pauses, your donations helped our partners survive mounting pressure. Rising food prices, emergency surgeries, winter exposure, overcrowding, and constant rescue intakes were met with action. Sterilizations were carried out, injured animals treated, shelters repaired, and daily feeding sustained—because you did not turn away. |

| | | What defined 2025 was not a single campaign, but your consistency. You responded when emergencies struck, trusted us to direct funds responsibly, and stayed engaged with the stories behind the appeals. Because of you, Animals First Aid remained a dependable bridge between frontline rescuers and the support they desperately need. |

| As we step into 2026, we do so with resolve. The need is growing—but so is our ambition to do better, reach further, and respond faster. Together, we aim to strengthen existing partnerships, welcome new vetted shelters, and scale impact without losing compassion or accountability. |

| | From every dog given treatment, every cat fed, every rescuer who did not give up—thank you. You did more than donate this year. You showed up. And because of you, countless animals are alive, safe, and no longer alone. With deep gratitude and hope for greater heights ahead, Animals First Aid❤️. |
