Floods have left entire communities in Punjab underwater—and their animals in crisis. Although the skies are now blue, these communities have been left without homes, power, shops, or a clean water supply. Hoof and leg problems are abundant in the equines due to mud and debris brought down in the flood sludge and damp soil conditions.

Thanks to Brooke USA's pledge of $20,000 to the recent disasters, Brooke Pakistan is able to provide:
✅ Emergency veterinary services
✅ Feed bags for equids
✅ Dry ration packs for families
✅ Safe water & welfare supplies

When animals suffer, so do the people who rely on them. Make your donation today to help with the recent disasters. ➡ www.brookeusa.org/pakistan-afghanistan-disasters

Animals are family, too. Help those affected by disaster.

In areas like Sialkot, Narowal, and Bahawalnagar, families rely on their animals for transport, income, and survival. The floods have put them all at risk.

Brooke USA’s field partner, Brooke Pakistan is working tirelessly to save:
✔️ Equids (donkeys, horses, mules)
✔️ Other livestock (cattle, goats, buffalo)
✔️ 1,800+ families through food and feed support

Let’s protect livelihoods—starting with the animals that make them possible.

An Ancient Relationship Evolves: Partners or Beasts of Burden? 🐴

Attitudes toward horses are changing. Once seen mainly as “beasts of burden,” equines are now increasingly valued as partners in sport, therapy, and daily life. But what’s driving this shift — and where are we headed?

Join the Horses & Humans Research Foundation (HHRF) for an international panel discussion exploring the science, economics, law, and traditions shaping the horse–human bond. Brooke USA CEO Emily Dulin is one of the panelists for this discussion.

🕛 12:00 PM (ET)
🎙 Moderator: Michael Kaufmann, Green Chimneys
👥 Panelists: Julie Broadway, Graeme Green, Emily Marquez-Dulin, Mary Elena Moran, & Dr. Mike Tomlinson

✔️ Explore evolving attitudes and equine well-being
✔️ Be part of the conversation shaping the future of horses & humans

One misstep nearly ended Shasho’s ability to work and support his family…

Meet Shasho and his owner, Mersha who live in Ziway Town, Ethiopia. Horses like Shasho, serve cart owners in urban communities across Ethiopia. One day, Shasho tripped on a rock while working, but Mersha couldn’t find him medical care. In many parts of Ethiopia, there are no trained veterinarians within walking distance. Shasho’s injury was so bad he couldn't work and the family’s income dried up.

🔸Brooke Ethiopia staff had just started working in Ziway Town and they were able to treat Shasho and give Mersha the medical advice he needed to help Shasto make a full recovery.

Your support ensures horses like Shasho never go untreated.

🚨 Urgent Flood & Earthquake Response 🚨

In response to the devastating flash floods across Punjab, Brooke USA and our field partner, Brooke Pakistan, are supporting both equine animals and animal-owning families.

🐴 1,000 donkeys, horses & mules
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 6,000+ people depending on them
💧 Emergency vet care, feed, water & human rations

We're working side-by-side with local authorities to bring critical aid where it’s needed most. We also are stepping in to help with humanitarian and animal aid in Afghanistan after a powerful earthquake struck the Kunar Region of eastern Afghanistan, where donkeys are essential to survival.

Will you help us with the relief and recovery efforts?
