Strays Home - Animal Rescue Foundation®️

🚨 STRAYS HOME SHELTER, A HOME TO HUNDREDS OF RESCUED ANIMALS IS PERMANENTLY CLOSING AT ITS CURRENT LOCATION ‼️ And lives of hundreds of our rescues are at risk if we are unable to set up a safe space for them in time as our extension to stay ends in November. Our shelter is the oldest and only all animal shelter operating in capital of Pakistan. This year we received an eviction notice and soon the area is going to be demolished. We previously rented a farm to move our animals to when we had around 380 animals. But then the government started mass culling of dogs and being the only shelter we had to step in to save mother dogs, puppies and friendly dogs who were being brutally poisoned, shot or were under constant threat. Our shelter strength has now crossed *523 animals*. If we leave these animals out, the government will kill them. The adoption rate in Pakistan is almost zero. They have nowhere else to go. We have secured extra land, but right now it is just open ground. We have to build everything from scratch to accommodate all our animals and to continue taking in new rescues. Otherwise, so many of them will be left on the streets to die a miserable death. As you know, Pakistan is a hot zone for severe animal abuse. With only one month left to vacate, there is immense pressure and tension. A kind friend has set up a fundraiser to help us make this urgent move possible. In Phase 1, we are raising *£3,000* to cover initial expenses, though our total goal to create a decent, safe space for all animals is much larger. I am requesting everyone who sees this to please chip in a little and share this with friends and family who care about animals. Please don't let our animals suffer on the streets 🙏🏻 Every penny helps ensure safety of our rescued animals ❤️‍🩹⬇️ gofund.me/706707599

JUST A FEW WEEKS LEFT BEFORE WE HAVE TO VACATE THE SHELTER 💔 For our animals, losing the shelter means losing their lives. We have to make urgent arrangements to accommodate every single one of them. This year, our permanent residents increased from 380 to over 500 because of the brutal dog culling by the government. We tried to save them all. The pregnant dogs, the mother dogs, the tiny pups, the friendly street dogs. We picked them up when they were poisoned and shot. We rescued them, nursed them back to life, sterilized and vaccinated them. Many were left with permanent health issues and disabilities and they found their only safety with us. We need to fence the area, build enclosures, kennels, winter sheds and so much more. The list is endless, but the funds are coming in too slowly while our number of animals has increased to 523. I need your help to prevent these innocent souls from ending up back on the same streets where they will be killed. In the first phase, we are raising £3k to start construction. We only have a few weeks left to raise funds and build a safe space according to their needs. Your support will decide their fate. Please help us reach our £3k goal by the end of this week. 🙏🏻 gofund.me/9ff742afb

I’M NOT READY TO GIVE UP ON MY SHELTER BABIES so I’m going to keep fighting but I can not win this fight alone and I need your help pray 🙏🏻 Sadly, the area where our shelter, the only home for all the animals in the region is located, is set to be demolished. While previously we had found a farm to move the dogs, now the number of dogs have almost doubled because the government started mass culling of dogs. As the only shelter in the capital, we had to step in to save mother dogs, puppies and friendly dogs who were being brutally poisoned and shot. Securing a safe place of them is important because so many of these dogs have health complications, disabilities & trauma because of being culling victims. If we leave these animals out, they won’t survive or will be killed. Adoption for strays dogs in Pakistan is too low. They have nowhere else to go. We have secured extra land, but it is just open ground. We have to build everything like fences, enclosures, kennels etc to accommodate all our animals and continue rescuing. Otherwise, they will be left on the streets to die a miserable death in a country that is a hot zone for severe animal abuse. With only a few weeks left to vacate, the pressure is immense. A kind friend has set up a fundraiser to help make this urgent move possible. In Phase 1, we are raising *£3k* for initial arrangements, though our total goal to build a decent, safe space to accommodate all these animals is much larger. I am requesting everyone who sees this to please chip in, even if a little and share this with friends and family who care about animals. Please don’t let them suffer on the streets. 🥺Every penny you donate helps ensure the safety of these vulnerable babies ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/c251f9f01

TRIGGER WARNING‼️ Dog Shooting victim Earl needs your help 💔 Today early in the morning, two men with guns approached earl when he was just resting in the street and shot him, he tried to escape the attack but one bullet crossed through the side of his neck. A young man witnessing this started shouting and gathered the people in street who then tried to stop the shooters who than ran off. Earl was born in this street, kids cared for him and fed him. Luckily before Earl could run off & hide. Someone was able to tie him up so rescue could be arranged and then a kind man helped arrange transport to vet clinic. Earl needs an emergency surgery. Rn the total needed for Earl to go through the surgery is £150. This is all happening while we have a crisis to manage. We have to vacate the shelter and things are extremely tough rn. Please meanwhile if you can help save Earl, his life literally depends on your decision to support. Please donate & share with other kind people 😔❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/bf941d046

I AM FAILING TO REACH MY GOAL BUT I CAN'T STOP ASKING FOR HELP BECAUSE 100s OF LIVES DEPEND ON ME RN 💔 I have been posting for days, in hopes to raise enough funds to set up the shelter space to accommodate all the animals. But I'm failing 😔 the funds are coming in too slow while we are running our of time. If our shelter animals end up on streets, they will die miserably. The govt is poisoning & shooting those on streets. The shelter is their safe haven. Moving them to safety is a priority right now. We need to do a lot of fencing, build enclosures, kennels, shaded areas and much more. Please if you are reading this, the fundraiser below is a way to help me save these babies from loosing their lives. Even a small donation & share can help save lives 🙏🏻⬇️ gofund.me/4908127f7

🚨 We have to vacate the shelter and setting up the new place for the shelter babies is looking almost impossible right now 😞 With only a few weeks left, my animals are at risk of ending up on the street while the govt is actively culling street dogs 💔 I have to raise £3k by this weekend just to be able to put up a boundary wall. Without a boundary, we cannot start setting up the new place. We had previously arranged a farm to move the animals, but we could only build enough for the animals we already had. Meanwhile, the government started culling dogs, and to save mothers and pups, we had to bring them to the shelter. Right now, these babies are at risk of ending up on the same streets they were rescued from. It is my request to everyone reading this, please don’t let these precious babies suffer on the streets. Setting up a new place is urgent‼️ Can you spare just £10 to ensure safety for these babies and share this tweet to help. Their little healed hearts should have to take any more hurt 🥺💔 gofund.me/cb4f64928

Alaska was born at breeders and then sold off to people who would then go on to become her biggest nightmare 💔 At night a family came rushing to the vets and dropped an extremely injured dog. A 4 months old husky with her limb broken at multiple points. When inquired about how that happened, SILENCE. The X-rays indicated a beating, in vets experience she was beaten with a rod. After her surgery, her family never came back to pick her up. The contact number they left was FAKE. And Alaska was left on mercy of the vet. He decides if she lives or died. For more than 60 days Alaska was confined in a small cage. Her surgery failed. Her limb became infected. She was dying alone in a tiny cage. A kind person called us to share these details and begged us to save her. We reached out to the vets asap, cleared her bills and took her custody. We rushed her to our affiliated vets only to find out that her leg was completely rotten, it had to be amputated to save her life 💔 I knew this meant a lifelong disability, and maybe no one would ever want to adopt her. But I didn’t want Alaska to die. When we went to pick her up, she was in disbelief. She probably thought we had given up on her too. But when she saw us, there was a spark in her eyes. She wagged her tail to say hello and I reassured her that I will love her no matter what. It’s been almost 9 months now. Alaska is our most loved and spoiled girl. She has a basket full of toys, the comfiest spot on the sofa, lots of friends and her own little human who is truly obsessed with her. Transformations like these are not possible without your support. Every penny ensures an animal gets the safety, love and comfort they deserve. To support my work for animals, please donate and share ❤️‍🩹⬇️ gofund.me/5d3376f3b

Dear people, I'm really grateful for those who have donated so far but we are still £2302 short for our weekly goal to make this move possible. We only have 4 weeks to set up the open area in the farm. Put overhead roof, arrange fencing, kennels, electrification and so much more. I have rescued 200+ dogs during the Govt culling drives. I promised these dogs safety, comfort & shelter. Please help me fulfil that promise. Even a small donation and a share can contribute to saving precious lives. I'm desperate for your support for these vulnerable babies. Going back to same streets that they were rescued from isn't an option. Please be a reason that these babies don't have to suffer. I'm begging for your help because I need to ensure their safety ❤️‍🩹⬇️ gofund.me/72c63276d

Max & her sister Julia were among the 30 puppies that we rescued from the horrible pet market in Rawalpindi. They were separated from their mother at just 2 weeks old and sold at a nightmarish market notorious for animal abuse. The clip on the right is from when we met Max and Julia for the first time. They were thrown in a metal bird cage, no blanket, no toys, no milk, no comfort 💔 It was peak summer. Julia was breathing heavily, as if she was dehydrated and couldn't take the heat. Max was barking constantly, confused about why she was even there. But when we approached the cage, she suddenly went quiet as if she knew she had our attention and that we were there to help. We got all the little ones freed and rushed them to the vets. Sadly, Gloria died and the vets told us that most of the puppies were too young and needed to be fed puppy milk through a feeding kit. For the next few days, 14 tiny survivors were completely dependent on human kindness and one of them was Max. During this time, a kind supporter, Dr. Iqra, reached out to inquire about adoptions and fell in love with Max. Soon Max was home with the most loving mama and a beautiful family of 7 rescued fur babies including a calico cat, 5 kittens, and a rooster. Today Max is 6 months old, her life changed only because we were able to get her out of that hell where she was placed to be sold to the next abuser. And that was all truly possible only because of your support. We have so many sweet stories of our pet market rescues who got adopted and are now living in loving homes and we are trying to share more of these stories to show the power of your support. Please help us continue making a difference in the lives of these precious babies. ❤️‍🩹⬇️ gofund.me/057016f95

I’m trying to put on a calm face, but I’m freaking out inside. 💔 For ten years straight, I have worked long hours to protect these babies from harm. I work in Pakistan, where dogs are brutally murdered in broad daylight by the authorities. I have saved countless lives over the years and now my cage-free, no-kill shelter is home to over 500 animals. But I have to vacate the shelter in just a few weeks. I had arranged a place previously, but it falls short — there is not enough space or roof area to accommodate all of them. Over the past few months alone, I have brought almost 200 dogs to the shelter. Dogs who were poisoned, shot, run over, abused and neglected. The streets are not safe. Leaving them back on the street after showing them love and kindness means leaving them to die. I cannot break their little hearts. I don’t want them to lose the sense of safety and love they finally felt at Strays Home. And I really need your support to make sure they never end up on the streets again. It’s been days that I have been posting again and again to reach our initial goal of £3k. If you are seeing this tweet, please chip in whatever you can and share it with kind people who you believe can help. 🙏🏻 I am requesting this on behalf of 523 babies who don’t want to go back to the cruel streets. Please be the angels they need right now ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/e500ff871
