Beaten. Stabbed. Forced to work. Then, discarded on the roadside and left to die in the dirt. THE HORRIFIC PLIGHT OF DONKEYS, like Lulu!

In Zimbabwe, donkeys endure the most horrific abuse every day. They are forced to work when they are too young to do so and made to carry loads far too heavy for their bodies.

DOWN TO THE WIRE! We’re rushing to SAVE THE LIVES of dogs who remain at the shelter being FORCED TO SHUT DOWN!

For six years, we have supported hundreds of dogs at the Zarkovica shelter in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik.
