We Dream of More Happy Endings Like Suka’s 🐾❤️
When we first met Suka, she was weak, scared, and suffering from a painful skin infection. Her tiny body was fragile, and without help, she wouldn’t have survived much longer on the streets. 💔
But the power of love can change everything. With care, treatment, and kindness, she transformed into a happy, playful pup—and now, she’s found her forever home! ✨
Sadly, there are still so many puppies like Suka who need a second chance, and every day we receive countless messages pleading for us to take in puppies form the street. Our hearts break every time we have to say no, but, right now, we’re caring for over 350 dogs and puppies. Until they find homes, we simply can’t take in more.
How can you help?

🐾 Dogs Need Love, Just Like We Do!
Dogs are incredibly social creatures—they thrive on love, attention, and companionship. 💛
Right now, over 340 dogs call our rescue centres home. Many of them have known loneliness, abandonment, and fear. They don’t ask for much—just a kind touch, a warm voice, and a chance to run free, stretch their legs, and feel like they belong.
But with so many dogs, it’s impossible for our small team to give each one the attention they crave. That’s why we need YOU!
🐶 Come visit, walk a dog, play, give belly rubs.
🚶♂️ Even a few hours of your time makes a difference.
❤️ For them, your visit is the best part of their day.
If you’re in Bali, come be part of their world. Let’s give these dogs the love they deserve.

BALI ISLAND SCHOOL - SHARING THE LOVE❤️
Amazing visit and a huge appreciation to the students from Bali Island School Paw Patrol Group
We truly appreciate their kindness, compassion, enthusiasm, and their willingness to help. Their donations are life-saving, and we are beyond grateful.
It was wonderful to see them interacting with our puppies and dogs. We hope this inspires other schools and visitors to come, get involved, and adopt our puppies and dogs and give them this second chance at life that they deserve.
Together, with the next generation, we can make a difference.

🌟 KIND LEADERSHIP FOR KIND COMMUNITIES 🌟
Last week, on a rainy and thundery day in the remote village of Tiga, Kecamatan Susut, Bangli, BAWA hosted a health day for the community’s animals including rabies vaccinations, sterilisations, health checks and education to the community 🐾
We also emphasised the urgent need to save the Bali Heritage Dog, whose population is sadly in danger of being extinct 💔
A heartfelt thank you to Bapak Putu Merta Utama, the Village leader for braving the heavy rain to attend and set a wonderful example for the community. Your support inspires others to take action for animals! 🌧️❤️
Come rain or shine, BAWA is here for Bali’s animals. Together, we can make a difference.

#GIVINGTUESDAY IS HERE!
#GIVINGTUESDAY IS HERE!
On this day of global generosity, we invite you to join this 24-hour donation drive so that we can continue our mission to provide urgent care for Bali animals.
BUT WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
As many of you may have seen in the media, in mid-November, 64 Bali dogs were intercepted from dog meat traders in East Java. They were captured in Bali, put into rice sacks, trucked to a boat and shipped to Java, and are being held in a warehouse. Today, the BAWA team travelled to East Java to meet our colleagues Animals Hope Shelter and Dog Meat Free Indonesia , where we are photographing and documenting these beautiful Bali dogs in hope to find their owners, and providing them with medical treatment and vaccinations.
PLEASE HELP US BRING OUR BALI DOGS BACK TO BALI FOR CHRISTMAS!
Donate now to https://givingtuesday.mightycause.com/organization/Bali-Animal-Welfare-Association and together, we can deliver brighter futures to Bali's neediest animals. YOU ARE THEIR ONLY HOPE.

SQUEE ALERT! CAN YOU GIVE ADORABLE ‘BABY’ A LOVING PLACE TO LIVE?
If you love cats, you probably know about the “cat distribution system,” through which homeless kitties unwittingly attract kind humans to find and look after them.
Well, the cat distribution system has just found BAWA! A volunteer feeding a street dog heard mewling, and quickly spotted a tiny orange floof sitting atop a car tire, looking purrfectly adorable. Meet Baby Blue Eyes – Baby for short.
Baby’s mama was nowhere to be found, so of course we rescued her. This sweetie will get medical care, healthy food, cozy bedding, and much love while we look for a home for her.
If any of you lovely cat ladies and gentlemen in Bali can adopt Baby, please contact us. (We’ll consider a foster, if necessary.) BAWA also urgently needs unwanted old towels/bedding, cages, and just about anything else used in an animal rescue/rehabilitation centre.
If you’re not in Bali, please consider making a donation toward healthy meals, medications, sterilisations and vaccinations, and caring staff for Baby and BAWA’s 400+ other animals.
Bali’s roads and beaches are teeming with unwanted animals. Please help BAWA keep rescuing these precious souls! The need is enormous, and we’re frankly overwhelmed and in desperate need of your help.
Thank you for caring!

BAWA’S ‘RESCUE ROCK STARS’ SAVE PUP IN PERIL
Last week, a heartsick family called BAWA about their dog, PJ, who had accidentally tumbled into a hole 20 meters (66 feet) deep. For two agonising days, they had been reaching out to everyone they could think of for help, including the fire department.
Everyone wanted to help, but the hole was too small for their equipment. The frantic family was praying for a miracle when someone told them about the BAWA emergency hotline.
The family called us, and our Dewa Made and his team quickly sprang into action to rescue PJ. Over the years, this brave, determined group has saved countless animals from seemingly unsurvivable circumstances.
This rescue would have been treacherous enough during the day, but Dewa and his team responded at night so that poor PJ wouldn’t have to suffer even longer. They reached the hole with flashlights; a long, sturdy rope; and a big dose of courage, skill, and hope.
Dewa Made scaled down into the darkness and latched onto a trembling PJ. Then, the two began their ascent, with Dewa directing his helper, “Pull!” again and again as they inched, achingly slowly, toward the top.
We held our breaths, praying that the terrified dog would not struggle and potentially fall back down the hole. Every second felt like an hour. Finally, the two safely reached the top, and PJ’s ecstatic family rushed to smother their lucky dog with pets and kisses!
PJ might have died a slow, painful death without BAWA’s Dewa Made and his team of rescue “rock stars”! But the other true rescue team is you, our supporters. YOUR generous gifts allow BAWA to do whatever it takes to save animals in peril.
Please donate to keep BAWA ready to respond 24/7/365. We can’t do it without you. THANK YOU! http://www.bawabali.com/donate
World Rabies Day 2024 in Bangli: Together for a Rabies-Free Bali! 🐾
To kick off month-long activities for World Rabies Day, BAWA is in Desa Sekardadi, Kintamani, Bangli as part of our One Health Program Dewata in partnership with FOUR PAWS , running a spay/ neuter and vaccination event, as part of our ongoing efforts to prevent rabies and safeguard both animals and humans.
Ever since Bali’s first ever case of rabies in 2008, BAWA has been at the forefront of efforts to eliminate the disease, working closely with the government and human & animal health experts to address the crisis.
Panic and fear can often result in cruel and ineffective attempts to tackle rabies cases through mass killings of dogs, but experience and expertise from around the world has proven that the only way to effectively eradicate rabies is through mass canine vaccination.
💛 Thank you, FOUR PAWS for supporting our efforts to make Bali safer for both animals and humans. Together, we can build a rabies-free Bali!

🌟🐾 Special School Education Session with SDN 3 in Pejeng! 🐾🌟
We had an amazing day hosting students from SDN 3 Pejeng at our rehabilitation facility! After engaging, fun, interactive, and informative classroom lessons on dog health, behaviour, safety, and helping children to understand, respect, and care for animals, as well as learn how to be safe in the midst of Bali’s rabies epidemic - the children walked from their school for a unique “hands-on” lesson as part of our Primary School Animal Welfare Education Program. This special session taught the students how to hold a puppy, how to check appropriate collar sizes, and how to use a leash. We LOVE watching their focused efforts.
Our School Education program is designed to appeal to and build on children’s innate capacity for empathy, by presenting themes of compassion and care for animals in relatable, everyday scenarios. By engaging with animals directly, these young students learn valuable lessons they can take home to their families and communities, along with educational activity booklets designed by our Education Program and funded by our friends at Tierliebhaber. Together, we are helping to dismantle generations-old beliefs and behaviours.
Through these educational experiences, we are driving lasting change to stop animal cruelty before it occurs. We believe that Bali’s potential to be a safer and kinder home for animals lies in the hands of these young students and depends entirely on the values and morals we teach them now.
Thank you, @tierliebhaberofficial for supporting this special session with very deep appreciation for our friend @manuelbergmann of @connectforcause for capturing and producing this wonderful video. Together, we are creating a brighter future for Bali’s animals.
