Four dogs and cats saved from war in Palestine have a chance to escape the violence.

Since the war erupted in 2023, life for our long-term partner in Bethlehem, West Bank, has been a daily struggle. 

 

With countless dogs, cats, donkeys and horses abandoned, forgotten and left to fend for themselves, the Animal and Environment Association (AEA) has fought to rescue as many animal lives as possible – but every day brings a new hardship for the team and its animals to endure.

 

Military checkpoints have surrounded the city, cutting off aid, supplies and movement for nearly two years. A collapsing economy is driving prices for basic goods higher every week. And with war raging nearby, there is the constant and ever-present threat that the violence may reach their front door.

 

Donations have dried up, and vet and food costs have tripled – yet our partner has never stopped saving lives.

Despite the challenges, our partner refuses to give up, providing life-saving care to as many four-legged souls as they possibly can. But donations have dwindled even as costs are rising, and our partner is now completely overwhelmed. 

 

But here’s the good news: We have a plan that will ease our partner’s burden, while giving four war-torn animals a second chance at a safe, happy life – and together, we know we can make it happen.

 

We have an unmissable opportunity to give four traumatized animals safe, loving homes in the USA. But we can’t do it without you.

 

Foster homes in the USA are waiting to welcome four animal victims of war, giving them safety and love while they look for their forever homes. The only thing standing in their way is the cost of the flights to get them there.

 

Zelda, Tiger, Hummus and Ivy – two dogs and two cats – were rescued from abuse or found abandoned and starving, wandering the streets with trembling, frail bodies. These poor souls spent every minute desperately searching for even the smallest scrap of food – all while dodging bombs and bullets.

 

With no food, no shelter and no one to care for them, they were close to death when our partner rescued them.

 

The animals are safe, but they are not yet free. Together, we can give them the happy, pain-free lives they deserve.

They have survived hunger, violence and heartbreak, but remain trapped in a war zone, waiting for a chance to escape the chaos and find peace and love.

 

Our partner is barely staying afloat and cannot afford to cover the flights to the US. That means that it’s up to animal-lovers like you and I to help them reach their new homes.. Every moment we wait is a moment too long – and their futures hang in the balance.

 

Will you help us get Zelda, Tiger, Hummus and Ivy to new homes?

Together with our partner, we are working around the clock to get these animals out of danger. With your help, they will soon be curled up on cozy couches instead of hiding from bombs, experiencing love instead of fear.

 

Please, can we rely on you to help get Zelda, Tiger, Hummus and Ivy to safety? 

 

For the animals,
