PLEASE HELP MY RESCUES
Hello Everyone, I am Lina from Lebanon. I have been rescuing dogs for the past 12 years, and I can honestly say that rescuing animals in Lebanon is probably the most challenging and draining mission a person could face. With no support from anyone you find yourself struggling constantly. The number of dogs dumped, and the level of torture and abuse is just beyond belief. In the past 12 years I have rescued over 3000 dogs, rehoming many over here and sending around 400 dogs abroad. I have so many left in boarding facilities and will stay there probably the rest of their lives, plus the new cases and intake never stop. (Around 90 dogs in my care now) I have been self sufficient most of the time and hardly relied on donations. But as you know our dear country Lebanon, has been struggling with so much lately. The crisis is escalating rapidly for both people and animals. Many people have fled either leaving their poor pets behind in war zones or bringing them along only to be forced to dump them later. This has obviosly affected our economy enormously, and my clothing business like most businesses, is suffering the consequences. All this is making it so difficult for me to cope with the my bills and overflow of dumped dogs. I have 90 dogs in my care now. 20 in my small shelter and 70 in paid facilities and foster homes. Half my rescues are small size dogs, so I need around 40 bags of 18kgs dry food per month. 20$ per bag(360$) and around 1500$ for paid foster homes and boarding facilities. I owe around 1000$ in medical bills. I need 80 pillls of nexgaurd, for worms and fleas, every 3 months worth at least 600$. The situation right now doesn't look good, and I am worried I might not be able to pay off my debts end of month. I am so heartbroken and so worried about my rescues. I am reaching out to you Trying to secure 2 months of expenses and pay off my medical bills to keep my rescues safe and in good shape till things get better hopefully. I have attached some of my past rescues that have affected me most and few new ones. For more info you can check my Facebook group "Dogs Rescue Lebanon ". Since my group is open for all the Lebanese rescuers to post please check rescues under my name Lina Farhat. and linoush2002 on Instagram(Not as active) For any further info that's my whatsapp number +9613373031. Thanks a lot and God bless💖💖🙏

Help Save "Thor" My Labrador Son

Help Save "Thor" My Labrador Son
Thor, my sweet Labrador mix, came into my life when he was just a tiny, two-month-old puppy. From the moment I saw his curious eyes and felt his gentle spirit, he captured my heart completely. Now, at 2 years and 4 months old, Thor still believes he’s that little puppy, bounding around and filling my home with laughter and love. He’s always been so full of energy, barking to keep everyone close and ready for one more game. But six months ago, everything changed. Thor accidentally ate chocolate, and his health spiraled fast. He spent two days in intensive care, and the doctors warned it was a close call. After bringing him home, my relief turned to fear as his health took another frightening turn. He collapsed, his body shaking uncontrollably, his legs spasming, and his mouth foaming. It looked like an epileptic seizure, something he had never experienced before. Since then, I have been searching tirelessly for answers. Doctor after doctor quickly diagnosed epilepsy without any tests, which felt wrong and only left me more anxious. Finally, a compassionate vet suggested that Thor’s episodes might be tied to his stomach. With a special gastrointestinal diet, his episodes lessened, but only temporarily. Over the past month, his symptoms have returned, worse than ever. Thor is now barely eating. He throws up nearly everything, his energy drained, his once-bright spirit dimmed. He looks at me with those sad eyes, wanting to play but getting tired so quickly. It breaks my heart to see him like this, knowing he’s suffering and can’t understand why. The last doctor said Thor urgently needs an MRI, CT scan, and neurological tests to understand what’s happening. These tests alone cost $1,840, and with my savings depleted and Lebanon’s situation making everything harder, I can’t afford them or any further treatment he might need. He’s not just a pet; Thor is my son, my companion, and my family. I’m terrified of losing him. Any help, no matter the amount, brings us closer to saving him. Please, if you can, help me give Thor the chance to get well and live the joyful life he deserves. How I Will Use the Funds Raised: • MRI • CT Scan • Neurological Tests • Abdominal Ultrasound • Chest X-Ray • Additional Blood Tests • Special Gastrointestinal Food • Ongoing Medical Care and Medications Your support will allow me to give Thor the best medical care possible and a real chance at recovery. Thank you for helping me bring back the happy, playful dog I love so much. If you're already in Lebanon you can donate using Whish or OMT directly: Mary Boutros +961 3 918 049
