✨ Dream Team Shout-Out ✨

We could not be more grateful and appreciative to call this team family and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the love they give every day to Bali’s animals.

Krista is indispensable. She has been part of our foundation since the very beginning. Using her legal and non profit expertise especially in our education and sterilization program, she is essential to bring our mission in improving animal rights and needs forward.

Cece is our all rounder. With her extensive experience in vet care and animal welfare, there is very little Cece does not know about dogs and cats. Very well versed in rescue, she is always helping out wherever it’s needed. She is an absolute treat for the animals and us to have her on board.

We call Eka and Dekya the dog whisperer. Growing up in a very rural area of Kediri, they have helped many suffering animals on their own as best as they could, before joining our team. They both are gifted with a very soft and warm energy that especially shy dogs and cats pick up easily.

With Elika, Vani, the twins Sinta and Santi and Herlin our team in the Safe House is complete. All are very caring towards our dogs and they never miss the chance for a cuddle. Especially to our pups they are the best surrogate mothers and they all absolutely adore them as much as we do. Being true animal lovers they put their all into everything they do. No day goes by where they don’t have a smile on their faces.

With the forever growing number of animals in the street that we look out for, we needed additional helping hands and we are pleased to introduce you to Mina, Ayu and Dyah, kind hearted dog owners- and lovers who are now supporting in our essential street feeding tour.

The fact is, it takes a dedicated and passionate team to do what we do. And we feel truly fortunate to have allthese girls as part of our family.

Join us in celebrating them. Send the girls some ❤️ for helping and supporting towards the welfare of Bali animals.

Can you help us to prevent more suffering? Sterilization sponsors needed 🙏🏻

Tomorrow we will be holding another spay and neuter event with vet Ketut and his assistant vet Cendy.

As always, some of the animals are strays and others are owned by low income families.

Yerli the mum dog with 7 puppies, as well as Mochi which we introduced to you this week, will both be spayed tomorrow. 🙏🏻

The animals we have registered are mainly females, that would continue to have unwanted litters of puppies and kittens.

Most of their offspring would end up being dumped, or die from viruses, as their low income families couldn’t afford vaccinations. 😔

Thankfully we meet more and more owners, who choose to be responsible and wanting to sterilize their pets, but not having the financial resources to do so on their own.

We have registered a total of 16 animals to get spayed or neutered, as well as 4 dogs which will receive TVT cancer treatment.

To sterilize one dog or cat in this event, as well as one cancer treatment will cost us 25 USD.

Will you be able to help us help them?

💙Adopt Mogli 💙

He is 3 months young, dewormed and fully vaccinated. His sterilization will be funded through our program once he is old enough.

Mogli is totally adorable, super cuddly, friendly and joyful, just like a puppy should be. He’s a very chilled little boy, that will make a perfect addition to a family with children or with other dogs.

Welcome this bundle of love into your life and send us a direct message if you would like to adopt Mogli. ✨

Mandatory: no cage, no chain, no free roaming, house with fully fenced garden.

We are moving forward in reducing the suffering of Bali’s dogs and cats 🙌🏻

What a special sterilization event it was for us yesterday. With great excitement we were able to finally share with you the news about a very important project that we had been working on for the past couple of months.

We kept on mentioning that in order to help the animals on the island, our biggest goal would be to spay and neuter in wider numbers, and the time has now come to turn this vision into reality.

In trusting collaboration with Dr. Ketut, we have rented a small facility that enables us to expand our work in our region and the surrounding areas.

And yesterday was the day in which we inaugurated the facility with a total of 26 sterilizations, all animals who we had perviously registered.

17 female dogs, 4 male dogs and 5 female cats are now fixed and looking towards a healthier and better life. We furthermore provided 1 complete and 18 rabies vaccinations and 1 dog received chemotherapy for a highly contagious TVT cancer.

The sterilization of those 26 animals is the prevention of nearly 2 million unwanted puppies and kittens in only 6 years.

Now, of ourse good things take time. We will have to start slow with our activities on site and are planning to hold a minimum of 2 sterilization events per month. But we hope that with support we can increase those operating hours rather quickly.

The foundation of our the next steps in improving animal welfare here in Bali is set. Please come along with us and be part of this most important chapter of our mission to save Bali’s dogs and cats.

Sterilization sponsors needed 🙏🏻

It is that time of the month again. This Thursday we will be holding our first spay and neuter event of June with vet Ketut and his assistant vet Cendy.

A total of 26 animals were pre registered by us over the past couple of days, who will have the chance of a better life.

All those dogs and cats, many of who are owned by low income local families and others who are strays, are in urgent need to be sterilized to:

a) prevent further unwanted births and overpopulation.
b) protect them from suffering and diseases such as TVT cancer.
c) help improve their well-being and living conditions, as many animals are put in cages or on chains in belief it keeps them from mating.

Each sterilization surgery will hereby cost us 25 USD. We are now in urgent need of sponsors to cover all 26 dogs and cats.

Another sterilization day success 🙌🏻

Yesterday we were holding our third sterilization event of this month in collaboration with vet Ketut and his assistant vet Cendy .

17 female dogs, 9 male dogs and 2 female cats were successfully spayed and neutered.

Many of those animals have been kept in cages or on chains by their owners to prevent mating and the resulting pregnancies. The sterilization surgery improved their lives immensely by also winning their freedoms.

We furthermore provided 17 rabies vaccinations and 1 dog received chemotherapy for a life threatening and highly contagious TVT cancer.

This event was once again the prevention of thousands of lives and made another huge impact in improving animal welfare and in slowing down the flow of unwanted puppies and kittens.

We want to thank all of you for helping us to make this day possible for the animals that were in urgent need to be sterilized.

We need your help to sterilize more animals 🙏🏻

This Thursday, we will be holding our third mass sterilization day of the month.

Our list of animals registered for sterilizations is constantly growing. And as the area we are helping is also growing, the more local pet owners are reaching out to us for urgent help.

Sadly, over the last few weeks, we found more dogs and cats in very urgent need to be spayed and neutered, many which are kept in cages or on chains. 😭

To help free these poor animals from their immense suffering, we negotiated with their owners, who agreed to free them after being sterilized. 🙏🏻

With a total of 23 animals already registered for this event, each dog or cat will cost us $25 USD. Will you help us help them?

🚨 URGENT - Dog food needed for our street feeding program 🚨

Every week our team is out in the streets of our area in Bali, currently feeding over 250 animals while also distributing medications to those in need.

Unfortunately this program is forever growing as the abandonment of unwanted puppies and kittens as well as the neglect of pets never seem to stop.

We keep finding them scouring the streets, empty fields, local markets and dumpsters in search for a scrap of food to help them survive.

Our street feeding tour is the most essential program and for many animals the only life line they have. But only with your support we are able to continue to provide for them.

Please, if you can, donate today for us to help the once who need it the most and who have no one else but us to rely on.

If you are in Bali, please if you can, buy for us large bags of rice (20 USD for one 25kg bag) or dog dry food from a pet shop (22 USD for one 20 kg bag).

If you are not in Bali, please help by donating funds. Click the link in our bio or see our donate highlight button and note ‘streetfeeding’ on your transfer.

If you can’t donate but still would like to help, please share our posts. We simply can’t do it without you.

Thank you. 🙏🏻

With this kindest cut of all, the birth and the resulting suffer of thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens could be prevented.

We are once again thankful to vet Ketut and his assistant vet Cendy for their tireless work, our team for their dedication and YOU, our wonderful supporters, for allowing this event for the animals to happen.

This is already our second sterilization day that we held this month alone, but there are many more requests for urgent help, that we hope to be able to fulfill.

Can you help us prevent more suffering? ♥️

This Thursday we will be holding a sterilization event at Ibu Jero’s house.

Ibu Jero had contacted us for help, to sterilize her dogs and cats. She had taken all if them from the streets, where she found them left behind and sick.

When we visited her place, we were pleased to see, that her rescues were in good condition and well looked after.

Ibu Jero and her family love their in 17 dogs 3 cats. With their limited income, they manage to feed their animals, but are unable to afford their sterilization.

With the help of her family and friends, a few of their animals got already sterilized, but now she needs more help.

We are happy to support Ibu Jero, to prevent further puppies and kittens being born, which would then clearly overwhelm this kind hearted family.

Ibu Jero also introduced us to her neighbors, who also own dogs in urgent need for sterilization.

For this event we have registered 16 animals, who will participate in this very important day.

Each sterilization surgery for one animal will cost us hereby 25 USD. We are now looking for sponsors to cover them all.

Will you be able to help us help them?

Spay and Neuter saves lives ❤️‍🩹

We had another very successful mass sterilization event in collaboration with vet Ketut and his assistant vet Cendy.

At first we spayed and neutered 10 animals in our Safe House, which we picked up from low income families, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford the surgery at a vet clinic.

As planned we then continued to spay another 9 female dogs and 2 female cats at a market we discovered last week, where animals were in urgent need of help for medications and sterilization.

This brought us up to a total of 21 dogs and 3 cats, which now won’t reproduce any more unwanted puppies and kittens.

We furthermore provided 2 complete and 23 rabies vaccinations and all of the dogs living at the market received a collar, to keep them a bit more protected as strays. 🙏🏻

We would like to thank vet Ketut and vet Cendy again for their incredible work. A big thank you to our volunteers Simone, Sarah and Rogan and you, our wonderful supporters, for helping us to make this event possible.

With so many suffering dogs and cats on the island of Bali, sterilization remains the one and only most compassionate and sustainable solution to better their future.

Please continue to be part of this important mission and contribute to this life saving cause.

Can you help and sponsor a sterilization? 🙏🏻

Hundreds of puppies are born each day here in Bali and there will never be enough good homes that are equipped to care for them all. As a result, many fall victim to abandonment and neglect.

A few days ago we discovered a local market with many stray dogs in need of skin medications and dewormers and several female dogs, that urgently have to get spayed to prevent further unwanted puppies!

Luckily we met local street feeders at the market who are caring for the dogs, but they can’t afford medications and sterilization for them.

For our next sterilization day on Thursday this week, we already registered 11 animals from low income families to get spayed and neutered in the morning at our safe house.

Afterwards we hope to catch at least 10 female stray dogs to get spayed directly at the market. 🙏🏻

Spay and neutering remains hereby the most compassionate method of controlling the population and preventing more animals from suffer.

To sterilize one dog with Vet Ketut will cost us 25 USD. Will you be able to help us prevent more suffering?

Today we would like to give a shout out to our dearest friend and team member Simone

Over the last two years, Simone has volunteered her time to help our good cause.She is a crazy animal lover with the kindest heart for dogs, cats and humans!

With her compassion for animals in need and her various skills, she is supporting us in many ways but most often behind the scenes for social media.

In addition to this, Simone organizes our adoption events and joins us for every sterilization day to help comfort the animals, as well as working behind the camera.

She has fostered dogs with special needs, she is visiting our rescues at the clinic to cuddle them during their stay and is always supporting us when we need an extra hand!

Adopt Rocky 💙

Our handsame Rocky is one of Bingo’s puppies. He moved into our safe house 3 weeks ago and is ready to find his very own forever home.

We discovered Rocky as a tiny pup together with his mama and siblings back in December 2022.

Ever since we cared for the little vulnerable family. We treated them for parasites, fixed their skin conditions, vaccinated them, spayed and neutered them and have not missed a single day where we didn’t feed them.

The quiet end gang they were living in seemed to us like a safe place to be that time but suddenly people there wanted them gone and threatened to eliminate them. We moved the little family into one of our team members home to keep them safe. Now all of them are living at our Safe House.

Rocky is a very gentle and easy going doggy! He’s happy, healthy and very friendly with everyone! With his open and calm personality he gets along with all of our dogs.

With only 1 year of age he is eager to learn and has been trained already some basic commands. He is well socialized, also around cats. Rocky loves beach walks and ocean dips the most.

If you are looking for a very sweet and calm dog to share your life with, Rocky might be your perfect match.

Please get in touch with us directly or our partner page if you would like to meet him or for further adoption inquiries.

And if you are not in the position to adopt but may know someone who is, please share our post to them. 🙏🏻🤍
