Walls washed away at haven for abused animals: URGENT help needed!
As soon as we received the email from Thai Animal Sanctuary, the amazing haven that’s rescuing tragically abused and neglected animals in the remote hills of Western Thailand, we knew we had to share the story with you. They are so grateful for the ongoing support made possible by your donations. But the rainy season […]
BBQ dog butchers: IMPORTANT UPDATE!
A few weeks ago we brought to your attention a situation unfolding in the Philippines that was so unspeakably vile, people wrote back saying it couldn’t possibly be real. “This cannot be happening,” they said! “Dog meat is illegal in the Philippines,” wrote others. “No one could possibly be butchering stray and stolen dogs to […]
300 dogs depend on us for their lives!
In the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, 300 dogs are still waiting for a municipal shelter, two years after Mato Franković, the new mayor, promised they would have one in less than 12 months. The dogs live at the private Žarkovica Animal Shelter, on a mountainside just outside the beautiful medieval city where Game of Thrones […]
Monsters crushed dogs’ paws so they couldn’t run away
As you know, Network for Animals (NFA) works around the world to improve the quality of life for animals living in impoverished communities. In South Africa, NFA, with our partner Fallen Angels, rescues hundreds of dogs from lives of misery, hunger, and illness. Our rescue missions are frequently in dangerous gang areas. Often, we can’t […]
In 20 minutes, we filled a big truck with suffering dogs!
THREE times we planned to visit Hillview in South Africa to rescue street dogs, THREE times our security company refused to let us go because of the danger from gangsters. On our fourth attempt we made it. Nothing can stop our mission to save animals. In 20 nervous minutes, we filled a rescue truck with dogs desperately in need of […]
Dogs are being BARBECUED in the Philippines!
Picture for a moment a chicken on a rotisserie. Or a pig skewered on a spit. Spinning slowly. Its face frozen in gruesome agony. Skin blackened, splitting, peeling, popping over punishing open flames. We deplore this! But now, IMAGINE that chicken or pig was YOUR DOG, stolen and slaughtered the very same way! Imagine no more! These wretched […]
A fraction of the money donated to Notre Dame could do so much for abused animals!
We share the world’s sadness at the destruction of the historic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris and are glad that so much money has been raised to restore it – more than $1 billion at the last count and rising by the hour. But… we can’t help but lament that while all that money will […]
Summer whimpered piteously as she lay dying!
We have told you before about the terrible lives of street dogs in South Africa’s urban slums. Thousands of dogs live in townships where people have no idea how to care for animals or any money to do so. Street dogs are born, suffer and die without ever knowing happiness. To make it worse, many uneducated South […]
Authorities do NOTHING while dogs are left to die!
Last year, we discovered truly shocking conditions at the municipal dog shelter in the town of Ulcinj in Montenegro. The town provided dog food only intermittently, workers said they had not been paid for months and when we asked about medical care, the manager shrugged and said a vet came “sometimes.” If dogs were sick, […]
Freddie the donkey was being hacked to death!
In financially-ruined Zimbabwe, the donkeys of this once flourishing country are suffering almost unbelievable cruelty. On a recent visit to MARES, a donkey sanctuary in Bulawayo, our team found four abused creatures collapsed in their harnesses. The ‘owner’ was slashing one poor donkey with a machete (a long-bladed knife/axe). The donkey’s head was gushing with blood from deep wounds. […]
