A few years ago, even that lifeline was nearly lost. An international organization - once the sanctuary and clinic’s primary source of support - suddenly withdrew, with almost no notice. Overnight, the sanctuary was pushed to the brink of closure. With no funding and no backup plan, they faced the unthinkable.
But they chose to keep going. They chose the animals.
With the help of a friend, the dedication of volunteers, and careful, determined management of every small donation, they fought their way back. Slowly. Relentlessly. One life at a time.
Even when the organization that abandoned them later tried to return, the sanctuary said, “no thank you.” They chose to stand on their own - with the support of people who truly care.
What they have accomplished is extraordinary:
- Nearly 13,000 sterilizations - preventing untold suffering before it begins.
- Dozens of outreach clinics in communities with no access to care.
- Thousands of animals treated - many in desperate condition.
- Daily feeding for street animals who would otherwise go hungry.
- And, of course, sanctuary and eventually forever homes for many.
This is exactly why Animals First Aid exists. To find places like this. To stand beside them.
To make sure they are not alone.
The reality is that sanctuaries like this, no matter how extraordinary their work, cannot continue without help. The calls don’t stop. The injuries don’t stop. The need doesn’t stop. And without support, even the most dedicated rescuers are forced to make impossible decisions.
