At TWS, we rely solely on donations to care for our rescues, as we receive no government funding. In a country with no animal rights and no organisations such as the RSPCA, street animals in Pakistan lead a miserable existence with no one to turn to should they be abused, injured, sick, or starving. Street dogs are often considered unclean and dangerous, and they are subjected to dog culling to reduce their population. We take in these animals, treat them, and try to find them homes, which is not an easy task, as sadly, Pakistan is a breed-obsessed society. Those too vulnerable to survive on the streets have a forever home with us at the sanctuary.

We are running this emergency fundraiser to clear unpaid invoices and staff wages. Our staff are vital to look after our rescues and ensure the smooth running of the shelter. We have so many rescues with fractured legs, mange, those undergoing chemotherapy, and spay and neuter surgeries, all of whom need looking after.

The cost-of-living crisis has meant that donations are low, yet due to inflation, the costs for medicines and food are now sky high. We are so very grateful to all the kind and wonderful people who donate towards our work month after month. We are truly grateful for every penny received, as no amount is too small.
