Dog loving people please consider joining this group to help the street dogs of Turkiye. Since the government ordered that dogs be rounded up off the streets and put into government shelters things have got dire - overcrowding, fatal dog fights, insufficient food, care and medical treatments, not enough staff and very little hope of these dogs getting out and finding a forever home.
This group however gets a few of the lucky ones out and works to get them adopted.
It's expensive and emotional. Please support if you can. 🙏🙏
Pictures from the Kas animal sanctuary believed to be one of the better ones.
Shame on for allowing the dog and cat populations to get out of control and then to punish the animals in such a cruel way.

Such beautiful animals.
Every animal has a purpose in the world.
Freedom is their right too.
Hoping these gorgeous water buffalos will be happy, safe and able to get on with what they need to do. 🙏

Fantastic news for people like myself trying to find a home where animals are 'allowed'. Just hope that landlords adhere to it. 🙏🙏

It's a great day for private renters in England, as the Renters' Rights Bill has officially passed through Parliament! 🎉

Under the bill, landlords can no longer unreasonably refuse pets in private rental properties - giving tenants long-overdue rights and helping to keep people and their beloved animals together.

After years of campaigning, this is a huge step forward, and the Bill will officially become law once it receives royal assent in due course!

A massive thank you to everyone who supported this important change in legislation. Here's to happier homes for renters and their pets! 🐾

True story.
Their little lives are important too and we need them also.
They are what helps to keep nature in balance.

I'm sorry, but it really is not okay to go around killing creatures like these for no reason other than you don't like them.

Killing them is doing our already failing ecosystem a massive injustice. Instead, try learning about them and their fascinating lives, and how our ecosystem and ultimately we and other life depend on them.

Ask yourself why it is not okay to kill an elephant, rhino, or big cat, but a slug, snail, or wasp in our garden doesn't matter. All life is precious and has a purpose.

Agree fully with this.
My circumstances are extremely challenging to get my babies relocated from Turkiye to the UK but the thought has never crossed my mind to leave them behind.
They are my children and my responsibility and I miss them terribly.

The crazy firework season is almost upon us. I cannot understand why anyone would support something that causes such distress to some people and to domestic and wild animals, especially when there are alternatives to all that bloody banging.

Diwali celebrations start tonight, and thousands of pet, horse and livestock owners are bracing for the bangs 🎇

Fireworks may only last for an evening at a time, but the emotional distress can be long-lasting for animals.

Thankfully the desire for quiet fireworks is growing, and 91% of Brits are open to toned-down alternatives!

If you’re planning a display this firework season, explore alternative options to celebrate safely and respectfully: https://bit.ly/3LaUJpq

Heartbreaking news.
RIP. 🙏

To God we belong and to Him we shall return...
With deep sorrow and grief, we mourn the martyrdom of our friend, veterinarian Dr. Mu'ath Abu Rukba, who was killed in Jabalia while checking on his home.
He was an example of good manners and generosity, carrying a message of mercy to animals and humans alike. We ask God to have mercy on him, to grant him a spacious place in heaven, and to inspire his family and loved ones with patience and solace May God have mercy on you, Muath, and may you remain in our hearts and fond memories.

Loving spending time with these boys again. ❤️
Doggo cuddles are the best on a wet weekend.
Both Charlie (grey doggo) and Billy have been through the wars with their health lately but thankfully minus one eye, restoring eyesight and getting diabetes regulated they both are now doing good.

Dog hugs and love on a wet weekend has been lovely.
Just don't tell my cats! 😂

Katapult attacks are on the rise which sadly causes intense pain to animals, as well as serious injuries or death.
Please help to get this taken seriously.
Takes seconds to do. 🙏🙏

Across the UK, a shocking trend continues.

Innocent animals, including domestic pets, birds, rabbits and squirrels, are being injured or killed by catapults and other
weapons, often at the hands of children or teenagers.

We are calling on the policing minister to act now. Email today and demand that catapults are sold only to those aged eighteen or over.

Unfortunately the cost of medical care and medicines for our animals have gone up considerably over these last few years.
Whilst the vet bills in Turkiye were not as high as here in the UK the fact is that I still spent a fortune on bills for my babies.
Prices vary sometimes massively from vet to vet but sadly even do the costs are making it a bigger struggle to care for sick animals for those people on lower incomes.. Even pretty good incomes too actually.

Vet prices have risen at nearly twice the rate of inflation, the Competition and Markets Authority found.

If we can help our native wildlife this winter I'm sure it would mean the world to them. 🙏
How to help in comments.

Ecologists are urging Brits to take action this winter to aid hedgehogs as they head into hibernation which can be a very dangerous time for the beloved but at risk creatures
