In Arusha, a city near the world-renowned Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, there is just one haven for abandoned, abused and disabled dogs.

Can these dogs rely on you for life-saving care?
Thousands of Spanish hunting dogs, called galgos, are bred for the hunting industry every year. But once they have ‘served their purpose’ during the five-month hunting season, they are horrifically discarded.
