We missed International Dog Day. Apparently, it was yesterday. So a day late we give you: Binti and Soldier. 100% Africanis (also know as a Zulu Dog, also known as what you get when humans don't breed dogs and let them do their own thing for thousands of years)! Their descendants are 5,000 years old and stem from the Nile Delta when Egyptians brought dogs into Africa. Things we've learned in the last 2 years!

Thanks to Animal-Kind International ... these 2 sweeties are hanging at our sanctuary for the week. They will be treated for mange, sterilized, vaccinated, dewormed, and returned to their home on the streets where they will rejoin their healthier street dog pack. If for some reason they are not strodeformed, or not extended mange treatment, they will remain at the sanctuary until a home is found for them.

One year ago TODAY we hosted our first spay & neuter clinic in Mwanza. In the last year, we have helped vaccinate thousands of dogs in our area against rabies, sterilized over 500 dogs, and helped start Mwanza's first ever dog sanctuary for medically fragile street dogs. We have also assisted our local vets in writing grants to help the working donkeys in our area. Let us all keep striving to live righteous lives!!!

One of our very first rescues, Mellie, one of the original Bwiru 5, found a home this week! We are sad to see him leave us after a year in our care ... but grateful he has a safe home. It also opens up space at our sanctuary for a new street dog in need! We miss you already Mellie!!!

Our 500th dog in 12 months was sterilized last month by our team of local vets!!! Today we awarded the owner with a bag of dog food, and a new chain/collar.

**UPDATE** Sadly, our team of vets arrived too late. The donkey we came for had been sold for slaughter as he was no longer useful to the village. We are so sad to share this devastating news. We were so looking forward to helping heal and get the rest he deserved.

EMERGENCY! DONATIONS NEEDED!!! This poor donkey was working in the mines and exposed to chemicals that left him severely burned. He was then abandoned in the streets by his owner. Our team of vets is ready to rescue and rehabilitate him. We will then move him several hours West to a donkey sanctuary. PLEASE donate to our current GoFundMe posted in the comments below. All funds raised from today on will go toward his rescue, medical treatment, and rehoming. Estimate of cost is around $700.

Another good Samaritan called our vets with reports of an abandoned puppy yesterday. We are maxed out and can't take any more! We will be focusing on adoption within our local community, spreading the word about our new sanctuary space. Hopefully some forever families will step forward to give these beautiful puppies a good home! 🏡 🐕 🐶

African Street Dog Rescue continues to support our Lake zone animal welfare organization-Lazawo partners on the ground by helping write grants and secure funding for this important work!

A recent outbreak of rabies in Shinayanga has left 1 person dead and many dogs at risk. Our Lake zone animal welfare organization-Lazawo team will respond to this crisis to vaccinate 2,000 dogs in Shinyanga and the surrounding villages. Thank you SPCA International for the financial donation to make this happen.

Meet Princess! She came to us last month after being beaten unconscious in the streets. You may remember her from a previous post where she sat in her kennel, shaking in fear, a large wound across her forehead? She is now healed up and the most friendly, sweet girl! How these street dogs forgive humans so easily I'll never understand - yet here she is - wanting only love and cuddles! She is looking for a forever home where she will be spoiled rotten!
