Support Shelter Dogs by Sponsoring Their Food, Medical Care, and Rehabilitation

Every dog should know the feeling of being safe and secure.

At the back of every dog shelter there are animals who have known hunger, been injured, neglected, abused, or who haven’t had a loving owner for too long. Some come in malnourished, some have injuries that stop them from walking, and others are so used to survival on the streets that they fear people.

But they still  hoping for a handout

hoping for a warm meal

hoping for someone to care.

A Sadbhavna dog shelter is their second chance at life, but to give this chance to every animal that comes, they need money, care, and support.

A Safe Shelter Is More Than Just a Roof

When a homeless, lost, or injured dog arrives at the shelter, their journey to recovery is only just beginning.

Shelter workers have to feed them, give them water, vaccinate and treat them, make sure they are healthy, and take care of them when they are sick. Many dogs need to be taken to the vet, and others may need more time to recover from their injuries before they can return to the streets. Dogs that have been hurt need to have wounds cleaned, and animals may also need help to toilet, wash, or sleep. For many dogs that arrive malnourished, feeding time is their favorite time of the day.

Your sponsorship can help give a frightened dog a chance to sleep soundly in a warm, clean bed.

Behind Every Rescue Is a Story

Picture a dog lying injured on the road.

Cars speed past, people come and go, and the lost dog has no idea what is happening around him.

Someone sees the poor creature and decides to help him.

Rescuers arrive and take him to the vet, where he is treated, cleaned, fed, and given a warm bed.

This dog’s journey has only just begun, however.

It may take weeks or even months to recover from his injuries.

Surgery may also be required, and the vet may need to give him medicine or special food.

Some animals may also require physiotherapy or other forms of rehabilitation.

This is why donations are so important: to care for a dog in need, from the moment he arrives until the moment he leaves, and even after he has gone.

Food Is the First Step Toward Healing

When a hungry dog arrives without food, the first thing that needs to happen is for him to be fed.

Dogs that come to the Sadbhavna dog shelter may be puppies or old, healthy or sick. Every animal is unique, which is why different dogs need different nutrition. Your sponsorship can give a rescued dog the energy and vitality he needs to recover from his ordeal.

Your donation can help give a hungry dog a full meal.

The simple act of giving food may seem unimportant, but to a starving animal it can be the best thing he has ever received.

Medical Care Can Save a Life

When a dog arrives injured, suffering from parasites, illness, or malnutrition, he needs medical treatment.

Vets can help dogs recover from injuries and illnesses, but this can come at a price. Sometimes an animal needs surgery, multiple vet visits, or medication to get better.

Your sponsorship can help pay for the vet bill for a homeless dog who has nobody else to help him.

It can help give the animal medication, vaccinations, and the treatment he needs to survive.

It can also help pay for any emergency services if the dog is injured.

Sometimes your donation can even save a life.

Rehabilitation Gives Dogs Another Chance

Wounds are not the only things that need to be healed.

When animals arrive at the dog shelter, some are too scared of humans to come near the door. Dogs that have been neglected or abused often suffer from mental trauma, and they need to be rehabilitated before they can return to the streets. When frightened, dogs will hide and refuse to come out. With time and care, though, these timid animals can be helped to understand that humans are not their enemies.

With love and patience, animals that have been abused or traumatized can learn to trust again.

The scared dog that used to hide can learn to come to his carer for food.

The dog that used to tremble at the sound of voices can learn to wag his tail when he hears them.

The dog that used to think that no man could love him can learn to trust that one day he will find someone that can.

Your Sponsorship Can Become a Lifeline

You do not need to be able to afford to adopt a dog to help one. You do not need to be able to pay for an entire shelter. A small sponsorship can become something big when people with generous hearts put their money together. You can donate to a shelter dog’s food fund. You can help pay for medical care or vaccination. You can pay for the medication or the rehabilitation or the blankets. You can help give a dog a second chance. You can help give an abandoned animal a warm bed, or a meal, or a name. Most importantly, you can help give a lost dog the second chance he needs to find a forever home.

Imagine the Difference Your Support Can Make

Imagine a dog arriving at the shelter, exhausted and starving.

The first thing he gets is food, then water, then medicine.

A few days later his wounds are healing, and a few weeks later he is walking strong.

One day a new visitor walks into the shelter, and her eyes land on the recovering dog.

She falls in love with him, and she takes him home.

His journey has changed forever because of the people who paid for his food, his medication, and his care.

The miracle of transformation may seem big, but it is really just made up of people who have donated money to a cause bigger than themselves.

You Can Be Part of  The Story

Animal shelters can only do what they do because of kind-hearted people who understand that animals feel hunger, pain, happiness, and even loneliness.

When you sponsor a shelter dog you help give an animal a better life. You help pay for his food, medication, or rehabilitation. You help him to go from surviving to thriving. You help make the world a better place. You might also help to send a message to a frightened, neglected, and abused dog that is waiting to know that he is loved.

Help Us Give Them a Better Tomorrow

There are so many dogs that come to the shelter looking for food. There are many animals that come looking for care, and many that come looking for a safe place to sleep.
