Homeless dogs need you this Christmas
Hi! My name is Natalia, I'm organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Mount Lebanon Shelter. This Christmas, we all have the chance to make a life-changing difference for over 50 animals in need. Donate to make a dog’s Christmas wish come true. At Mount Lebanon Shelter, a small but mighty dog charity run by a single, devoted lady, who works tirelessly to care for and provide hope to animals who have been abandoned, neglected, or left without a home. Every dog has a story, and every dog deserves love and a future. Unfortunately, this work doesn’t come without a heavy cost. With medical bills mounting and limited resources, we are reaching out for your support. Together, we can give these animals the chance they deserve by covering critical medical expenses and providing them with the care they need to recover, thrive, and eventually find their forever homes, in Lebanon and abroad. By the end of this year, the goal is to raise enough funds, to clear these medical bills and ensure these animals can continue to receive the care they deserve. This holiday season, we ask for your help in making that possible. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving these precious souls the care they need. As you celebrate the season of giving, consider the warmth you can bring to a shelter dog’s heart this Christmas. Even a small 10 dollar contribution, will make a big big difference. Let’s work together to make this a season of hope, love, and second chances. Thank you for your donations!

Helping Kittybounts to be reunited with us

Helping Kittybounts to be reunited with us
Hi Everyone, With a devastated and broken heart, I humbly ask for your help/support. My partner and I are facing difficult circumstances and are urgently seeking someone to foster our two beloved furbabies, or even adopt them temporarily, with the hope that we can reunite with them once our situation improves. My partner, lost his job recently and had to return to his home country for passport renewal and biometrics registration. Unfortunately when We applied for a tourist visa to be reunited and keep our furbabies, his application was rejected. Im also currently unemployed and left the UAE last month due to my high-risk pregnancy and because I was on a visit visa. I had no choice but to leave because of my current situation. We have tried everything to bring our furbabies with us. We sold everything we could to raise funds, but it still wasn’t enough. With limited time and funds, we had to leave the country. We used whatever money we had left to pay for pet boarding temporarily while we continue to hope that my partner will be able to return to the UAE, though we are uncertain when that will happen due to travel restrictions. Sadly, the pet caretaker cannot keep our furbabies for much longer. Our hearts are shattered into billion pieces but we need to ensure they are safe and loved. These two are the sweetest, most affectionate creatures. They have been together since they were little. They are sisters who are inseparable and deeply attached to each other. We are looking for someone who can foster them, preferably for free, as they deserve a loving, caring home. They are harmless, sweet, and full of love. Above all, we want to make sure they are not abandoned and are given the care they need. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our message. If you or anyone you know could adopt them or offer them a temporary home it would mean the world to us.

PLEASE HELP MY RESCUES

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
