A new, modern-day dog shelter for the ‘rubbish dump dogs’ of Trebinje.
We are exceptionally happy to inform you that after 18 months’ effort, Network for Animals has actually finished the building and construction of a $320 000 modern dog shelter in the city of Trebinje in Herzegovina. In 2021, our group went to the old local shelter positioned on the city rubbish dumb. It was here that we fulfilled dogs like Ljupce, a seriously ill and unpleasant three-legged street dog residing in dreadful conditions and covered in flies. She was simply among the 70 dogs disposed with the rubbish and waiting to pass away. Ljupce’s suffering was the trigger that sparked the fire within us – we might NOT wait and enable this suffering to continue.
Now recuperated from her important disease thanks to the care offered by the Trebinje shelter staff, Ljupce the three-legged dog was among the very first to take pleasure in the centers at the brand-new modern shelter developed by Network for Animals.
Thanks to the kindness of our advocates and the cooperation of the Trebinje authorities, the rubbish dump ‘home’ for Trebinje’s street dogs has actually been consigned to the history books. The brand-new $320,000 (£257,000) shelter sets high requirements for the care of abandoned and street dogs in the Balkan countries.
Network for Animals works all over the world battling a heartbreaking, perpetual fight to enhance the lives of animals and this was a location where our help was sorely required. We, and the street dogs of Trebinje, are permanently grateful for your assistance in making this brand-new shelter a reality!

Jordan
Rebuilding the Al Rabee animal shelter following a terrible flood.
Recently, a freak flood ravaged the Al Rabee shelter, home to over 500 dogs in Aqaba, Jordan. Heavy rain triggered extreme flooding and destroyed whatever in its course, consisting of the shelter’s kennels, maintaining walls, and fencing. Tragically, 2 dogs lost their lives.
Every dog at Al Rabee was rescued from the streets of Aqaba where they dealt with horrible cruelty – beaten, assassinated, poisoned, and even dragged behind cars. The assistance we supply to our partner, the Al Rabee shelter, is the only lifeline for the dogs, and we attracted you to help them following the catastrophe. Thanks to your caring hearts, we had the ability to contribute $10,000 (£7,900) towards restoring efforts and emergency situation materials for the shelter. Thank you for being a friend to the tragedy-stricken dogs of Al Rabee.

Jordan
Providing overworked horses in Petra with seriously required medication.
In the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, donkeys and horses suffer endless discomfort, carrying travelers up and down treacherous, slippery courses to an abbey that sits at the top of a hill. The animals work day after day under an unforgiving desert sun without any relief. Saddles tear through their flesh, they are besieged by flies and they hopelessly hobble on agonizingly sprained ankles. During a recent check out to the only animal center in the area, Bedouin donkey owners and regional vets frantically pleaded with our group for help in gearing up the center with medical materials.
We care deeply about donkeys and horses, and we understand animal fans like you do too. We connected with a desperate plea for assistance, and thanks to your contributions, we had the ability to hurry seriously required medications to the significantly overworked horses of Petra. Your heart headed out to these mild animals and you have actually played a big function in reducing their suffering.

Kenya
Conducting mass spay and neuter programs for street cats and dogs in Nairobi run-down neighborhoods.
In Nairobi, Kenya, 10s of countless street cats and dogs wander the city, unfed, neglected and mistreated. With shelters rupturing at the joints and no federal government help, their numbers grow non-stop. Our partner, the Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (KSPCA), is faced with this scenario every day, and runs routine spay and sterilize projects in poor locations to enhance the lives of animals. But without any federal government assistance and exceptionally minimal resources, the group frantically requires our help to continue their essential work.
We guaranteed to help the KSPCA reach animals in requirement in a neighborhood surrounding Kibera – the biggest and poorest run-down neighborhood in Africa. Through your assistance, we have actually formally released this important, collective job to perform continuous important spay and neuter programs and supply medical materials to immunize animals versus rabies and treat their injuries. Your contribution will spare Nairobi’s roaming animals from lives of offensive suffering – thank you.

Ukraine
Rescuing four-legged victims from flood waters in the middle of Kakhovka Dam damage.
In early June, the Kakhovka Dam in Russian-managed Ukraine was destroyed, triggering deadly flooding along the Dnieper River. The disaster required human beings to leave, leaving numerous animals alone, defenseless, starving and frightened. We guaranteed to help the animals of Ukraine till the war is over and last month, they required our assistance in the middle of among their worst crises yet.
Since the start of the war, our partner Vetmarket Pluriton has traveled into some of the most dangerous, devastated parts of Ukraine to feed and evacuate animals. Once again, they were ready to urgently help animals in Kherson, one of the worst affected areas, but they desperately required our assistance. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to equip our team with a boat, animal transportation crates and pet food so they could rush to the region and save stranded animals.
