Love changes lives
Venus Doggess of Love NGO (Non profit organisation) is creating better lives for Tobago’s dogs and cats (and sometimes other species) through rescue work and humane education.
Venus rescues and rehabilitates homeless animals, spays/neuters and rehomes them to safe, loving homes (local and foreign). As a currently small scale operation, VDL is more about animal rescue quality (highly personalized attention and care) than mass quantity. A lot of the rescue work is made possible through case-specific donations from kind followers of the VDL page, offline donations and fundraising ventures.
On a voluntary basis, Venus invests time and energy in:
(i) Rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals
(ii) producing films, photographs and written material to educate, raise awareness, promote compassion or encourage fostering/adoption of rescued animals.
In Tobago, the dogs and cats (homeless, underprivileged and owned-but-neglected) are in crisis. Unless there is intervention, animals roam the streets and beaches, mating throughout life, putting stress on their bodies and contributing to rampant overpopulation. Many owned dogs are tied on short chains in the elements (scorching heat, rain) with little or no shade, often without basic needs like food and water. One wonders if there is awareness of their existence as living, sentient beings. Many are not touched or spoken to. Names are often simply “Dog” or “Cat”, so there is no acknowledgment of each animal being an individual with inherent enough value to be given a name. It is as if they are invisible. And these are the simple issues. The more extreme problems involve unthinkable abuse and rampant poisoning with no recourse/enforcement from the existing, but very weak, local laws against animal cruelty.
Venus Doggess Of Love cares about animals and cannot stand to see them suffer. Venus Doggess Of Love is committed to ensuring the best life for as many animals as possible.
Thank you for your support.
