Save animals from war in Lebanon

Save animals from war in Lebanon
Give Me A Paw has been on the frontlines rescuing animals trapped in areas under constant threat of bombing. After just 14 months of fragile stability, Lebanon has once again become an active war zone. Heavy bombing is taking place across the country, and Israel has issued evacuation orders for large parts of Beirut and the entire south of Lebanon, an area of roughly 1,445 km², forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to flee with little warning. In the chaos of displacement, thousands of animals have been left behind. Pets locked inside empty homes. Dogs chained outside with no one to return for them. Animals trapped in pet shops and apartments. Strays injured from bomb blasts, wandering through empty streets in search of food and water. These innocent lives have no voice, but they have not been forgotten. Since March 5, Give Me A Paw has been carrying out emergency rescue missions into war-affected areas to save animals trapped in evacuated towns and neighborhoods. Our team enters bombed buildings and deserted streets to search for animals left behind. Every mission is dangerous, but we continue because these animals would otherwise have no chance of survival. Your donation will help us continue: • Rescuing animals trapped in homes and evacuated buildings • Reuniting rescued pets with displaced families whenever possible • Supporting displaced families to take care of their pets, with boarding costs, food, and medicine • Treating animals injured by bomb blasts and debris • Unchaining dogs and rescuing animals abandoned outside • Distributing food and water in evacuated neighborhoods now turned into ghost towns Our shelter is now beyond capacity, and the cost of rescue missions, veterinary care, and boarding is increasing every day. But we refuse to stop while animals are still trapped and suffering. We urgently need your help to continue this work. Time is critical. Many animals are locked inside homes without food or water and could be killed at any moment by ongoing bombardment. With your support, we can continue to reach them before it’s too late. Please donate today to help us save the animals of Lebanon. Every contribution makes a difference. To see our rescue missions and the animals you are helping save, follow us on Instagram @givemepaw.

Emergency Wildlife Rescue Center – Lebanon

Animal

Emergency Wildlife Rescue Center – Lebanon
As instability rises, roads close, borders shut down, and supply chains become uncertain. Wildlife emergencies do not stop during war. In many cases they increase. Lebanese Wildlife is the only certified wildlife rehabilitation authority in the country. Injured, confiscated, and displaced wild animals depend on our ability to continue operating safely. For years, our rescue and rehabilitation work has operated from a home based setup while responding to wildlife emergencies across Lebanon. Recently, we secured 2,000 square meters of land to build the country’s first dedicated wildlife rehabilitation center, which will become the foundation of Lebanon’s first wildlife hospital. This was meant to be a long term project. But the return of war has forced us to accelerate. Our current operational location is no longer secure enough to guarantee the safety of the animals in our care or the continuity of our rescue operations. If roads close or supplies become unavailable, our ability to care for wildlife could be severely compromised. To protect the animals and ensure that rescue work can continue, we must urgently activate part of the secured land and relocate our operations to a safer site. Phase 1 of this project will activate 800 square meters of the land using prefabricated structures and essential infrastructure so that the facility can begin operating as soon as possible. Our goal is to raise 120,000 USD to make this emergency relocation possible. This funding will allow us to install prefabricated clinic and intake units, ICU and quarantine structures, secure temporary enclosures, electricity and water systems, generator backup power, and the essential infrastructure required to operate safely. It will also allow us to transport animals and medical equipment and to stockpile critical food and medications in case borders close and supply chains are interrupted. Wildlife in Lebanon already faces immense pressure from habitat loss, illegal hunting, and wildlife trafficking. War multiplies every threat. If Lebanese Wildlife cannot operate safely, injured and confiscated wildlife will have nowhere to go. There is no alternative wildlife rehabilitation center in the country. This emergency phase will allow us to establish a safe operational base and continue rescuing wildlife while laying the groundwork for the full rehabilitation center that will be developed in the future. Wildlife does not get to escape war. Animals cannot leave when borders close or when conflict spreads. They depend entirely on the people willing to protect them. Lebanese Wildlife has never stopped responding to animals in need, even during the most difficult times. Today we are asking for your help to make sure that work can continue safely. By supporting this campaign, you are helping create a secure refuge for wildlife in a country where such a place has never existed before. Together we can ensure that even in the midst of conflict, compassion and protection for wildlife do not disappear. Every contribution helps bring this safe haven to life.

$1 Christmas Challenge to save GMAP Dog Shelter

$1 Christmas Challenge to save GMAP Dog Shelter
This Christmas, we are launching our biggest community challenge ever: $1 from every person who follows us = $51,000 to save GMAP. Why $1? Because we believe in the power of this family. We believe that if each of us gives a tiny amount, together we can give the animals under our care the stable, safe, loving future they deserve. And because right now GMAP is drowning. 2025 was one of the hardest years we have ever lived through, rescues under bombing, war zone missions, animals shot, poisoned, abandoned, chained, starving, left behind. We fought through every crisis, every emergency, every heartbreak, but the financial pressure has become unbearable. If we don’t act now, we cannot start 2026 with strength. This fundraiser will allow us to finally breathe again. It will allow us to: - Close every debt that has kept us awake at night, from emergencies, surgeries, boarding, and food. - Buy a car so we can operate, respond to emergencies, and reach animals in danger. - Secure long-term food stock so no dog ever sleeps hungry. - Improve and winter proof the shelter for the years to come - Expand safe spaces for seniors, disabled dogs, and overcrowded enclosures. - Cover critical medical care and emergency surgeries. - Stabilize our team so daily care never stops. - Build a small crisis fund so GMAP never reaches this breaking point again. For the first time in years, we have the chance to start a new year strong instead of scared, stable instead of drowning, hopeful instead of fighting to survive day after day. And all it takes is $1 from each of you. Be part of our Christmas Challenge. Help us enter 2026 with dignity, strength, and hope. Together, if each of us gives one single dollar, we will create the biggest act of kindness GMAP has ever seen.
