Meet

She is more than 9 yo. She has TVT.
What is TVT?Canine transmissible venereal tumors (TVTs) are cauliflower-like, pedunculated, nodular, papillary, or multilobulated in appearance. They range in size from a small nodule (5 mm) to a large mass (>10 cm) that is firm, though friable. The surface is often ulcerated and inflamed and bleeds easily.

So vet said she need to have parasite treatment before chemotherapy. Nona has a month parasite therapy.

Until today she has her third chemotherapy. And before chemo usually must blood test again.

Help us to make Nona better with her treatment through :

These dogs are the voice of many dogs out there that are still suffering from the cruelty of the dog meat trade. Finance our rescue project to give them the best chance of survival!

At the end of March we rescued 15 dogs from the back of a truck to be sold to dog meat restaurants in Samosir, Sumatra, Indonesia. Cramped into a tiny space, we could not look away and do nothing. We were able to negotiate with the driver and got all 15 dogs out of the horrible situation. Totally we take care of 43 dogs and 41 cats now.

Most of the dogs are in terrible condition, malnourished, and traumatized. Within two weeks, we managed to scrape the little money we had, along with the help of our community and loyal patrons, to find a land where we built temporary fencing and a roof for cover to shelter the dogs. The dogs are recovering and safe now, but we still need your help!

Currently, we need to ensure that the dogs can receive the proper treatment, medical attention, food, and care that they need to be able to strive until each and every one of them is ready to be adopted.

In order to do this, a number of things need to be funded. The funding will guarantee that the dogs will be taken care of. It will also give us a chance to breathe and focus more of our energy into educating the community and talking to find a long-term solution with the local government about the dog meat trade issue that this island has been having.

The nearest vet clinic is 6 hours away from the remote area where the dogs are currently located. The car will enable us to transport the dogs needing medical attention to the vet as we have found it difficult to find any vehicle owners that would allow us to bring dogs.

As important as the food and water, we also need to ensure that these dogs are sterilized to avoid any unwanted puppies that will perpetuate the dog population problem around Indonesia.

These dogs are the voice of many dogs out there that are still suffering from the cruelty of the dog meat trade. Together we can make a difference in their lives and many others!

Any amount is helpful!

The five universally accepted freedoms that all animals are entitled to:
1. Freedom from Hunger and Thirst
2. Freedom from Discomfort
3. Freedom from Pain, Injury and Disease
4. Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour
5. Freedom from Fear and Distress

What does that look like? In most cases, when we care for our pets properly, we can provide those five basic freedoms to domestic animals like cats and dogs.

But there's no way we can provide all five to animals that belong in the wild, like monkeys and birds.

These animals must be chained or caged if kept by humans. There is no way for us to give them the opportunity to display their natural behaviours. And when they can't perform their natural behaviours, they become distressed and afraid.

If we try to keep wild animals as pets, we are depriving them of at LEAST numbers 4 and 5.

A caged bird cannot fly free and sing from the treetops. A chained monkey cannot live in their family group or explore the forest. An orangutan in a cage can't climb to the treetops and build a nest while munching on leaves and fruit.

Let the bird fly! Let the monkey jump on the trees! If you want to hear the song of a bird, plant trees near your home!

Leave wildlife wild, and appreciate the wonderful pets that we can look after well.

INDONESIAN
Lima kebebasan yang diterima secara universal yang menjadi hak semua hewan:
1. Bebas dari Lapar dan Haus
2. Bebas dari Ketidaknyamanan
3. Bebas dari Rasa Sakit, Cedera dan Penyakit
4. Kebebasan untuk Mengekspresikan Perilaku Normal
5. Kebebasan dari Ketakutan dan Kesusahan

Seperti apa bentuknya? Dalam kebanyakan kasus, ketika kita merawat hewan peliharaan kita dengan baik, kita dapat memberikan lima kebebasan dasar tersebut kepada hewan piaraan seperti kucing dan anjing.

Tapi tidak mungkin kita bisa memberikan kelima hewan yang termasuk di alam liar, seperti monyet dan burung.

Hewan ini harus dirantai atau dikurung jika dipelihara oleh manusia. Tidak ada cara bagi kami untuk memberi mereka kesempatan untuk menampilkan perilaku alami mereka. Dan ketika mereka tidak dapat melakukan perilaku alami mereka, mereka menjadi tertekan dan takut.

Jika kita mencoba memelihara hewan liar sebagai hewan peliharaan, kita merampas setidaknya nomor 4 dan 5.

Seekor burung yang dikurung tidak bisa terbang bebas dan bernyanyi dari puncak pohon. Monyet yang dirantai tidak dapat hidup dalam kelompok keluarganya atau menjelajahi hutan. Orangutan di dalam kandang tidak bisa memanjat ke puncak pohon dan membangun sarang sambil mengunyah daun dan buah.

Biarkan burung itu terbang! Biarkan monyet melompat ke pohon! Jika Anda ingin mendengar kicauan burung, tanamlah pohon di dekat rumah Anda!

Tinggalkan satwa liar, dan hargai hewan peliharaan luar biasa yang bisa kita rawat dengan baik.

We have great news! After months of hard work behind the scenes, Toba Animal Friends is now formally registered as a charity foundation in Indonesia.

This means that we can get to work on applying for grants and financial support for our projects and take our animal welfare, rescue and education work to the next level.
Stay tuned - we have big things planned!

Kami punya berita bagus! Setelah berbulan-bulan bekerja keras di balik layar, Toba Animal Friends kini resmi terdaftar sebagai yayasan amal di Indonesia.

Ini berarti bahwa kita bisa bekerja untuk mengajukan permohonan hibah dan dukungan keuangan untuk proyek kita dan membawa pekerjaan kesejahteraan hewan, penyelamatan dan pendidikan kita ke tingkat berikutnya.

Nantikan - kami memiliki hal-hal besar yang direncanakan!

Sweet Onyen needs help! We've been feeding this lovely ginger boy on the street for a few years now, but this week he became very sick, so we took him to the vet.

He can hardly breathe and is really skinny; blood tests and x-rays revealed severe damage to his pancreas, and the vets suspect he has FIP.

Poor old Onyen has been put on a nebuliser to help him breathe better, and is receiving medicine and intensive care from the vet team.
All this care is necessary to help this gorgeous boy recover, but it has resulted in a bill of 2 million IDR (about $200 AUD or $130 USD/EURO).

We are gratefully accepting any and all donations to help pay this bill. It's been a tough month with essential structural repairs to our shelter thanks to a lot of rain, so even the smallest amount is appreciated.

Terima kasih from the TAF team and Onyen - we will keep you updated with his progress!

BAHASA INDONESIA
Onyen manis butuh bantuan! Kami telah memberi makan kepada Onyxen di jalan selama beberapa tahun sekarang, tetapi minggu ini dia menjadi sangat sakit, jadi kami membawanya ke dokter hewan.

Dia hampir tidak bisa bernapas dan sangat kurus; tes darah dan rontgen mengungkapkan kerusakan parah pada pankreasnya, dan dokter hewan menduga dia menderita FIP.

Onyen tua yang malang telah memakai nebuliser untuk membantunya bernafas lebih baik, dan menerima obat-obatan dan perawatan intensif dari tim dokter hewan.

Semua perawatan ini diperlukan untuk membantu kucing ganteng ini pulih, tetapi telah menghasilkan tagihan sebesar Rp 2 juta (sekitar $200 AUD atau $130 USD/EURO).

Kami dengan penuh syukur menerima setiap dan semua sumbangan untuk membantu membayar tagihan ini. Ini adalah bulan yang sulit dengan perbaikan struktural penting untuk tempat berlindung kami berkat banyak hujan, sehingga jumlah terkecil pun dihargai.

Terima kasih dari tim TAF dan Onyen - kami akan terus mengabari Anda dengan perkembangannya!
