We have a puppy for Adoption in Lautoka.

She was left on the street to fend for herself but luckily saved by Rohini Pratap. Now she needs a home.

Most dogs struggling on the streets are females and most adopters only wants male dogs. This is how the cycle of suffering continues from an abandoned puppy to a suffering homeless mother.

Please offer this puppy a caring home.

When adopting please consider the emotional lives of animals. Ask the shelter if the pet has a bonded friend or family who is also in need of a loving home. Adopting a pair of friends help the pets to be calm and adapt better to their new home.

Studies show that cats and dogs thrive and live longer, healthier lives with companionship of their own kind.

If you can not adopt from shelters, you could be involved in helping homeless animals in your community, near your home and work places.

Meet Madhu.
She used to be homeless in Ba town. She gave birth behind some shops and hid her puppies in a small crevice while she went out in search of food. She was shunned because of her poor skin condition.

Late last year we rescued her and her pups. She is now spayed, healthy and happy but we have a situation that needs care and consideration from the community.

Madhu is one of our dogs that does not allow us to touch her, she avoids all contact with people. She refuses to stay inside a fenced area - she climbs fences and does whatever she needs to do for freedom.

It is not our intention for Madhu to be on the road in front of Sanctuary and we are trying our best to catch her in a trap. Since she was already caught once, she very cleverly avoids being caught again but we are trying our best.

We are looking for a safe farm or somewhere she can live as the free spirit that she is. We saved her a life of suffering on the streets now we need help with a permanent safe place. The Sanctuary is not the correct place for her. Please share network with friends, family and contacts, share the post to help find her a home.

Please slow down in front of Sanctuary.
Thank you to the kind drivers who are considerate about our work and slow down.

We need to find homes for some of our rescued dogs. This is a Mamma named Irene and her little puppy, Kali.

Irene is Intelligent and friendly.
She is very attentive and enjoys protecting her loved ones.
She is a wonderful companion.

Please network amongst your friends, family and share the post to help us find Irene and Kali a home.

Our lovely Linda is for adoption into a caring home that will love and respect her the way we do. Secure homes or Safe farms could save lives by welcoming dogs to share their homes, and safe spaces.

Linda is one of the hundreds of female dogs that we have helped survive.
But providing for many is a battle, its demanding and requires care, compassion from our community.

Also please slow down in front of the Sanctuary. People are dropping off dogs that we need to catch because they do not come to us, they are afraid and do not trust humans. They just need a little BREAK from their hardships in a humans world. Humans have taken over the world by force, so lets be good, do good.

Thank you FMF Foods Limited for their monthly donation of Yellow Peas to feed the dogs. This support helps so much, we really appreciate it!

We make a delicious Dhal with lots of seasonal veggies like pumpkin, leafy greens, beans, okra and eggplant. We also add turmeric, ginger, curry leaves and ground coriander seeds.
They eat their meals with great gratitude, they really enjoy it ♥

Animal welfare is an important community cause and we thank everyone who contributes towards improving the lives of others 🙏

Its been five years since we planted this BAKA (Ficus obliqua) tree that Flame Tree Landscape & Nursery donated to us. Look how Beautiful it is.

We want to plant more trees, we all need more trees.
One day we hope to build a bench around the tree for people and dogs to enjoy the shade.

The sugar cane is for them to chew on.
It's good for their teeth and they really enjoy it.

Thank you to the gang at Flame Tree Landscape & Nursery 😘

What is happening to humanity :(
This dog was found in a shallow drain in an area with very high foot traffic.
Hundreds of people would have seen him because the vets believe the injuries were sustained a week ago.

Most likely hit by a vehicle, Imagine how this injured dog would have suffered - unable to get up for food or water for a week.
It is really such a shame that we live in a society that cares so little.

Thank you Rohini Pratap for driving the dog to the vet, and thank you Animals Fiji clinic for attending to the dog so quickly and free of charge. The dog was already near death and was put to sleep at the clinic.

WHEN YOU SEE ANIMALS IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP - PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEM 🙏

ADOPTION POST.
This is our little boy, Buddy. He was homeless, living on the streets because he had a minor skin condition that rendered him an unwanted and untouchable by our vastly uncaring society.

Buddy is all better now and he needs a loving home with a secure compound or a safe farm.

Adoption saves lives and allows us to help more dogs in need.
Please inbox for more information and to arrange a time to meet Buddy.

Today another desperate dog comes to the Sanctuary.

It took us over 12hrs to trap her because she is extremely frightened of people. She had some type of synthetic rubbery fabric bound tightly around her neck.

05/07/2024

APPEAL for a FOSTER CARE HOME.
Homeless mothers struggle so much to protect their pups. They try their best to hide them, while going out in search of food to keep her pups alive.

This mother in Lautoka gave birth in a culvert. The pup's eyes are still closed.

We are appealing for a foster care home to take care of this FRIENDLY, loving mother and her young pups for a few weeks. We will provide the food for her but we need a safe, comfortable place for mamma to nurse her pups.

Homelessness is a social problem and only with the help of the community can we resolve this. Please help.

Your donations allow us to take these desperate dogs off the streets.

The puppies that we picked up from under an abandoned car in Lautoka are now ready for adoption. They are perfect, well behaved little grateful angels.

If you have a safe farm or secure compound and lots of love and care to share - please contact us.

When you adopt from shelters, you create space for other desperate dogs that need help.

Waiting for their meal to be served.
Not everyone has the capacity to help dogs but everyone has the capacity to not cause them harm.
Every dog in this photo has sad history and we must start addressing abandonment and violence against animals as a serious crime.

Is this your dog?
The dog is reportedly new at a home that uses dogs for hunting pigs.
As we know, most dogs stolen from homes are taken by the pig hunting community.

This dog is in Nakasi but he could have been stolen from anywhere in Fiji.

If you know who this dog may belong to, please say something.

Please share the post to help find the dogs home.

Fiji Government poisons dogs...again.

please share with the people in Labasa so that they can protect their pets.

Death by poisoning is a terrible way to die.
Think about the birds, cats and dogs that eat only a little bit of bait and languish in pain for days.

Dogs are loyal, they love us unconditionally, most of them would die to protect us from harm.... and this is what we offer them.

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who donated and shared the post. We really appreciate your support during these tough times. Thank you and Bless you for helping us to help feed the innocent.
Rice was delivered yesterday morning, when we placed the order, we had only received enough funds for 600kg, so we ordered that much. We will order the rest soon.
Thank you again to everyone who pitched in to feed the dogs. We can rescue but without your help we cant not feed and care for them. Thank you for caring🙏

Please donate for food.
This is an urgent appeal for help to purchase 700kg of Rice from Goodman Fielder. The cost is $1,390.20 and it will feed Sanctuary and Street dogs for three weeks.

No dog has ever abandoned their people for being old or sick.

Too often we see people abandoning their dogs because they have an easy to cure skin condition like mange.
It is so unfair.

Yesterday we went to Momi Bay, Nadi to save a dog with a wire in her neck.
She is a sad and scared mother with pups.
In the midst of a pig hunting settlement, dogs often escape and seek refuge at neighboring houses.

This situation is terribly sad for dogs in Fiji.
When you see animals being abused, please do not ignore their suffering.
Help them/ ask for help

If anyone would like to adopt this mother and her pup, please inbox us.

Meal Service should start at 11am.

We try to feed at exactly the planned times because the dogs behave so much better when things are done on schedule.

This is Veeru, he is feeling and looking so much better in just a few months at the Sanctuary.

We need your help. Please donate if possible.
So many lives depend on us and so many more need our help.

We have many dogs under our care.

DOGS NOT SAFE IN THEIR HOMES IN FIJI The rampant theft of pets from private compounds as well as street dogs continues with pig hunters active snatching dogs in centres across Fiji. Pets are not safe in their homes, and the community reports dog disappearances on a regular basis. Emboldened by police inaction, thieves are increasingly brazen, seen dragging struggling and screaming dogs into carriers in broad daylight. In the most recent incident, a concerned member of the community reported three dogs tightly tethered and terrified in the hot sun behind Ba Market. This was the 2nd occurrence in two weeks. She rang Greater Good and the local police who located the perpetrators who claimed that the dogs were theirs. Despite hours of negotiation and pleading on our behalf, and our offer to care for the dogs until proof of ownership could be confirmed, the perpetrators were allowed to throw the dogs into the back of a carrier for an unknown destination. It was highly distressing to witness these terrified dogs being released to their fate. The Pig hunters will immediately amputate the dogs ears. They are then tied up without food or water. If they do not starve or dehydrate to death, they often die as a result of cane knife injuries or goring during the hunt. As the dogs die, thieves return to round up new ones. On the many occasions we have intervened in such situations, the police have never been willing to secure the dogs or release them to us. We call on Fiji Police authorities to take this animal abuse seriously and work with animal welfare agencies to stamp out this abhorrent crime. Members of the community should be alert to dog theft and secure their compound. If your pet or a dog you have been feeding suddenly disappears, taking steps to find it yourself is probably your only avenue. These thefts are violent and are often witnessed by neighbours, local kids or local shop-keepers. Get out and talk to people, and post on social media and check CCTV

Our team is working tireless to trap homeless animals and get them neutered (desexed) so the constant cycle of breeding and the explosion in numbers of starving and suffering animals can be stopped. Our wonderful volunteers managed to trap 111 dogs in September and October. With one breeding pair able to produce 20 puppies in a year this has avoided over 2000 more puppies being born in the next year alone. A huge thank you to William Parkinson and Parkinson Pacific Foundation for making this possible. To continue our work we need your support. Your monthly donation of FJ$120 will allow us to capture and neuter one homeless dog - helping to break the cycle of starvation and suffering of innocent animals. https://greatergoodfiji.com/donate.php Westpac Bank : The Greater Good Foundation Account # 9807083630 BSB: 039002 Swift Code: WPACFJFX MPAISA: Business Options, #22223 Or MPAISA directly to +679 8640200 #love #help #fiji #street #dogs #lovely #Tuesday #grateful #beautiful #photography #sunset #work #volunteering #visit #give #support #rescue #AdoptDontShop #hope #compassion #thankyou

We are Fiji’s only homeless animal shelter housing around 200 dogs. With funds critically low, we are facing the prospect of closure in 3 weeks. Every day we are faced with starving, injured and abused dogs needing our help. The demand for shelter and medical services has never been greater, yet our situation is desperate as COVID has badly affected donations. Our shelter is in Ba in Fiji’s west, and we have been caring for homeless dogs for 8 years. If we are forced to close, the dogs in our care (including mothers and puppies) would have nowhere to go. We also run street dog feeding and de-sexing programs which are vital to reduce the number of starving and unwanted dogs desperately scavenging on our streets. We are asking for support from the community, businesses and the government. We need donations, and we need food. (We go through 80kg of rice and dhal PER DAY) Please help us if you can! https://www.greatergoodfiji.com/donate.php
