When we received an URGENT call for help from this shelter, home to 270 discarded dogs and cats, we knew we had to ACT IMMEDIATELY.
Our team received an URGENT call for help from a shelter in Spain in terrible financial trouble. The haven, Refugio SVPAP in Valencia, is home to 270 abandoned dogs and cats.

FIVE MUMMIFIED PUPS in her belly, infection raging, how did Una survive?!
A street dog named Una came into our lives during one of the first community spay/neuter clinics allowed since Covid-19 closures in Thailand. Our hardworking partners at the Sangkhlaburi Animal Sanctuary brought Una in to be treated for a gruesome wound and to be spayed. As the vet was about to operate, he discovered that […]
CAN YOU IMAGINE? During the holidays, some people abandon their older dog or cat in favor of a cute new puppy or kitten!
It is the festive season and a time to celebrate and share gifts with those you love. It is a time for happiness, but for many animals, the holidays are a time to dread – because when the festive season begins, animal shelters are bombarded with abandoned dogs and cats. When some people go on […]
Remember this shelter? We saved it from having to shut down (nearly 500 dogs and 100 cats would have faced euthanasia)!
If you have followed NFA for some time, you’ll know of our excellent partner, the Friend Animal Foundation (FAF) in Harare, Zimbabwe. When we stepped in, the shelter was in danger of shutting down, and all the dogs and cats would have been killed. Fortunately, we were able to raise enough money to stop that […]
Is there NO LIMIT to the inhumanity of the human species?
We have told you before about the horrible lives of street dogs in the Bosnian city of Trebinje. If a homeless dog is captured in Trebinje then the poor dog is considered vermin and handed over to the city’s garbage unit to be dealt with as rubbish. The poor dogs are taken to the city’s […]
MASSACRE ensues from BOUNTY placed on street dogs’ heads!
This week, we’ve shared with you an absolutely sickening story about dogs being brutally tortured and killed in Palestine – at the encouragement of the mayor of Hebron! We have been urgently raising funds to get the dogs off the streets and out of the hands of their torturers, but we are nowhere near our […]
IMAGINE being a dog or cat who had a loving home, lost it, found a shelter – and then, suddenly (since the SHELTER COULD CLOSE), faces homelessness on the streets!
Our partner Fallen Angels does wonderful work in some of South Africa’s poorest and most dangerous areas, places where animals’ lives mean absolutely nothing. Fallen Angels rescues horribly abused dogs, treats them and provides shelter. Countless dogs owe their lives to their efforts. The work Fallen Angels does is truly commendable and so when they […]
Today is World Rabies Day and we are about to vaccinate THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dogs!
Rabies is a massive problem in the East African country of Tanzania. Thousands of dogs die excruciating deaths every year because of the disease, and yet, it is preventable. It costs just one dime (about 9p!) to vaccinate a dog against rabies in Tanzania. But finding the vaccinations, in some of the remotest parts of Africa – and […]
IMPORTANT UPDATE! TRAGIC dog foster facility FIRE pushes rescue to the brink!
When we received the message below from our partner at Jindo Love Rescue in South Korea – where you recall only weeks ago, more than 120 terrified dogs were caught in a TRAGIC FOSTER FACILITY FIRE near a deadly dog slaughter neighborhood – we KNEW we had to reach out to you again, IMMEDIATELY: PLEASE don’t let us cease to […]
Dogs bred for the cruel “sport” of trophy hunting are being abandoned – dumped, confused, hurt and whimpering.
In Serbia, many dogs are bred for the cruel “sport” of trophy hunting, but if they are ‘unsatisfactory’ hunters, they are discarded like trash. If puppies are timid, gentle, or scared of gunshots, they are packed into a box and tossed into rivers or, if lucky, dumped at shelters. Breeders simply consider them to be a means to an […]
