Dear Mark,   

Many of our sanctuary residents are un releasable because of twitching, bobbing and weaving caused by either accidents or illnesses.

Beautiful Luna ☺️ Luna has a condition called Cerebullar Hypoplasia which causes her to wobble but she’s a happy girl and loves a cuddle… | Instagram

Luna, featured in this video, was born with a condition called cerebullar hypolasia, caused by problems in the part of the brain that control motor function.

Other cases of incoordination are caused by the Canine Distemper Virus, and some are from accidents that involved head trauma.

These survivors need extra help with eating, staying clean, and living in a protected area where they won’t get hurt if they suddenly fall down. 

These movers and shakers have an abundance of love to give and are feisty to boot, overcoming all obstacles to get the cuddles they want or their favourite spot on their doggie bed. 

Thank you for giving us the means to give permanent homes to these bright sparkling dogs who have flopped and bobbed their ways into many hearts here–and we hope yours will be among them soon. Plan your visit to meet Luna and the other sweethearts!

Gentle Floppy, saved from a horrible wound made worse by thousands of flies.

An inner ear infection had drawn thousands of flies. Seeing him on the side of the road, shaking his head in so much agitation, was heart-breaking. Blood soaked his jaw and upper shoulder and the flies seemed to worsen his trauma. We hurried him to our hospital and began his treatment.

Floppy has been an amazing patient, quietly bearing the treatments which must have both hurt and frightened him. But he held completely still and made dressing his wound as easy for his care-givers as he possibly could. The wound took two months of daily dressings to heal, but Floppy felt much better almost immediately. Watch til the end, because now, Floppy sometimes seems to smile.

Give beautiful help for helpless beauties.

Burned boy, Shiva, has his own temple! (Well, he thinks so!)

We don’t know how this young street dog, Shiva, became burned–possibly someone accidentally spilled hot water. He seems too accustomed to being loved to have been a victim of a deliberate cruelty. He has a special friend in his neighborhood who insisted on carrying him to the ambulance. Without intensive treatment, this large burned area could have easily become infected and taken his life. He needed daily wound cleanings, dressings, antibiotics and careful monitoring to ensure his rapid healing, so being hospitalized was essential.

Each day he became more and more adored by our staff and volunteers. His healing was beautiful, we neutered him, and because he’s such a popular guy at the temple area where he lives, we knew that Shiva would be in good hands there. When we released him, Shiva expressed a tremendous tail-wagging joy to be home. He still needed twice daily application of fly repellent cream which his caring friend faithfully applied, and our Street Treatment Team made regular visits to ensure the wound closed completely. This is what a great partnership for street animals can look like: community carer takers, a hospital for when they need more, and loving support from donors.

Everyone needs a safety net. Make a donation today.

Lovely Susie felt so much relief as soon as her eye surgery was complete!

Golden beauty Susie was spotted by a passer-by with her eye protruding from its socket and her horn broken off. At first we suspected she had suffered a blow to the head by a passing vehicle, but once we examined her, we discovered that she actually had a tumor growing behind her eye. We waited a few days to stabilize her, treat her horn wounds (both horns were affected by the tumor) and get ready her for eye removal surgery.

When her surgery was complete, we couldn’t believe how rapidly she stood and walked. Relief may have been almost instantaneous. She started eating again as soon as the anesthesia wore off, and her road to complete recovery was straight ahead. Like you, we find it unfathomable that her owner simply abandoned her in such dire condition. When this girl desperately needed help, it was provided by strangers. Thank you for being among the kind strangers who saved Susie’s life.

Be their hope. Please donate.

“Gentlemen Callers” gets a whole new meaning!

We typically have a majority of women volunteers, but it hasn’t been true for us during the past month, and we’re so delighted by this infusion of the gentlest of gentlemen.

Wouter, (Netherlands) has joined us for more than a month of loving care to the animals–and this is his third time here! He’s vivacious, hard-working, wonderful with the animals and has a great sense of humour to match it all. 

Dan (USA) hadn’t taken a vacation from his screen printing company in years. But when he got his chance for a prolonged break, he headed straight to Animal Aid where he lavished love on hundreds of grateful new friends. 

Alex (Australia) is a multi-lingual history and world politics teacher who is accustomed to helping kids, immigrants, and marginalized communities. This year he took a sabbatical and decided to share his kindness even further, by sharing his love with animals. And he’s made some new human friends while he’s at it!
