Help for Animals: Shelters and Animal Welfare Charities

A homeless animal has no one to tell the vet where it hurts. A puppy by the roadside, a cat that survived the winter in a basement, a dog driven out of town and left behind - they get by until someone notices them. The charities and shelters gathered here rescue homeless and abandoned animals: they take them off the street, pay for treatment, surgery and vaccinations, nurse the injured back to health, and help wild animals and birds too.

A shelter means food every day, warm enclosures and a vet, but it has one goal: for each animal to find a home of its own. These charities look for new owners, and through sterilization and microchipping they humanely reduce the number of homeless animals on the streets for the long term. They also teach children and adults to care responsibly for the animals they bring into their families.

We review charities on Tooba by their documents, finances and spending reports. Even a small monthly gift turns into bowls of food and paid vet bills.
