New Arrivals!
Meet Cookie! š¾
Two months ago, Cookie suffered a severe head injury. Despite treatment from two vets in Bethlehem, the wound worsened. The infection spread through his skull, creating a mass in his nose that left him struggling to breathe.
We rushed him to Royal Care Hospital in Nablus in critical condition. After intensive treatment and surgery to remove the mass, Cookie is doing much better and is ready to leave the hospital!
While he can return to the shelter, Cookie really needs a quiet foster home to fully recover.

Rescues
A Repeating Tragedy: Animals Poisoned in Our Streets
Beit Jala: Street dogs were reportedly tied with ropes, poisoned, and left to die in severe pain. More than 15 dogs died, along with an unknown number of cats.
A young man used medicine he had to save them. Suffering, the dogs came to his door seeking food and safety. He fought to keep them alive, but one by one, they took their final breaths.
Beit Sahour: Poisoning spread across several areas, including Al-Mazraāa Street. One woman used income from her shop to feed animals and lost three adult dogs in one night. Only two puppies survived.
Despite the municipalityās denial, we received reports alleging that poisonous substances were supplied to individuals. These claims require a transparent investigation.
Stop the poisoning now.
Poison is not population control. It threatens animals, pets, wildlife, and children.
Humane solutions exist: spaying and neutering, vaccination, veterinary care, adoption, and waste control.
We demand accountability and an end to these cruel practices.
Enough poisoning. Animals deserve safety, dignity, and compassion.
š R.I.P. šĀ A woman spotted this poor dog crawling near Artas, Bethlehem, unable to move his back legs before falling into a hole. Our team rushed to rescue him and bring him straight to Dr. Mohammed Raji.
A witness reported he was hit by a large truck that simply drove away, leaving his lower body and internal organs crushed.
We reached out to organizations for emergency help and arranged transport to Royal Care Veterinary Hospital, but his injuries were too severe. He tragically passed away at the clinic.
It breaks our hearts that he endured such immense pain due to human carelessness. Rest in peace, sweet boyāyou are free from suffering now. šš¾
ā ļø TW: Graphic imageryā ļø š¾ Diana caught this little grey kitten sheād been tracking near her house, along with her mom and sibling. She had been leaving out food and water daily until she could safely rescue them.
The poor kittenās eyes were completely swollen shut from a severe infection, leaving her blind and in constant danger under the cars.
Now, the whole family is safe and living their best life at Samiaās house! We are covering all their medical costs, including vaccinations, surgery, and deworming.
A huge thank you to Samia for taking them in! ā¤ļø

š A resident in Al Khader discovered a devastating scene: a nursing mother dog had died inside a cave, leaving behind eight newborn puppies who were desperately trying to nurse from her.
The finder called Diana, who rushed milk and bottles to the site, but the puppies were incredibly weak. We immediately coordinated with a contact to transfer them to an urgent foster home inside the Green Line for professional medical care.
They were taken straight to the vet. Tragically, three of the puppies have already died, and the remaining five are currently fighting for their lives.
Please keep these fragile survivors in your thoughts. š¾
ā ļø TW: Seizure ā ļø This poor puppy was hit by a car, and the driver sped off. Bystanders then shockingly threw the injured baby into a trash bin. Thankfully, a friend witnessed it, pulled him out, and brought him to our worker.
Diana immediately sent him by taxi to the vet to stop the bleeding and manage his pain. He spent the night at Diana's house, where he got a bath, flea treatment, and some deep rest.
He is now at a clinic. The impact caused neurological issues, but thankfully, multiple tests for distemper have come back negative.
We are incredibly grateful to a sponsor who has already stepped up to cover his costs. He is stable but still fighting.
Our friend Hana in Ramallah found a sweet dog hit by a car! šš„š¶ After getting him initial first aid and tick treatment, she reached out to us for help. š„š¾ We transferred him to Royal Care Hospital in Nablus, where he is now being treated for severe fractures, tick fever, and low blood counts. š©øš©¹
A huge thank you to our incredible team:
Dr. Ahmad Khalil for sponsoring the transport! šµš
Usama Hamadneh for driving him safely to Nablus! ššØ
Dr. Ahmad Amad for handling his complex medical case! š©ŗšØāāļø
Update: After his arrival at Royal Care in Nablus two weeks ago š„, the little guy received surgery š©ŗ to heal the multiple fractures he suffered when he was hit by a car šš„. There he remains while he recovers š©¹. It is a slow recovery process š¢, but we are thrilled that he has regained his ability to walk š¾āØ!
Such a long stay at the clinic is quite expensive šøš. Please help us to cover the cost by donating via: https://heylink.me/bethlehem/Ā
This sweet female puppy was found by a family we know after being hit by a car. šš„š¶ She couldn't walk and suffered severe fractures to her pelvis and leg. šš©¹
She spent a few days with Dr. Mohammed Raji before we transferred her to Royal Care Hospital, where she was hospitalized for a week due to tick fever and dangerously low blood counts. š„š©ø
She was scheduled for surgery to fix her fractures, but we have amazing news! š We found her a sponsor, and she has been officially transferred to an association for her continued care! šāØ
A huge thank you to everyone involved in saving this brave little girl! šā¤ļø
A person abandoned eight tiny puppies near his house after their mother died. š” After harassing us daily to take them, he dumped them outside our shelter after our workers left. šš¾
They were far too small and were rushed to the vet with a severe stomach infection. š„š¦ Sadly, five of the puppies passed away. ššļø
But three fighters survived! šŖā¤ļø We have great news: two of the females have found a wonderful home with a foster caregiver working with an associationĀ š”āØ
ā ļø TW: Graphic imageryā ļøĀ
Raised by his owner since puppyhood alongside his mom and sibling, this sweet boy was severely neglected. An untreated leg injury spiraled out of control due to maggots, and his ears were infested as well.
Thanks to our friend Amira who stepped in, we quickly transported him to Dr. Mohammad Raji. The leg had to be amputated, but he is now pain-free, fully treated for ticks and parasites, and recovering at our shelter.
Up next: healing, vaccinations, sterilization, and finding a family who will actually cherish him. š¶āØ

Unbelievable cruelty, but a lucky rescue! Two nursing kittens were left abandoned in a deserted area among thorns and hay.
A caring bystander reported them to our shelter, and our worker Sulaiman went straight out to collect them. A huge thank you to our friend Samia Shahin for immediately opening her home to foster and bottle-feed these two tiny babies! š±š¼

š©¹š¶ This tiny puppy was found in Aida Camp, Bethlehem with severe burns and in extreme pain. A local young man spotted him and handed him to a helpful neighbor, who reached out to our team.
We brought him straight to Dr. Mohammed Rajabi for emergency care š©ŗ. Thanks to two wonderful organizations stepping up to sponsor his case, he was transferred to their clinic for a vital skin graft operation.

Thanks again to everybody involved in his rescue.
This dog was found in Beit Sahour after surviving nearly two weeks alone on the streets.
He had been brutally beaten and abused. By the time he was reported to us last week, his condition was critical. Maggots had eaten through one of his ears, reaching the skull, and had completely destroyed his right eye.
He was rushed to Royal Care Veterinary Hospital in Nablus, where he is now receiving intensive treatment.
His condition is extremely serious. He is suffering from:
Ā Septicemia
Ā Early kidney damage
Ā High creatinine levels
Ā Severe dehydration
Ā Diarrhea
Ā Critically abnormal blood test results
Ā Bacterial infection in the stomach
Ā Heavy tick infestation
Ā Extensive maggot infestation that destroyed his right eye, ear, and reached the skull
Despite everything he has endured, he is still fighting for his life.
His hospitalization and medical treatment are extremely expensive. Every donation gives him a better chance to survive.
Ā We thank Rafael who found him and refused to leave him until we were able to rescue the dog at 2 am in the morning Ųsending our employee Sulaiman .
This sweet dog was found suffering after being poisoned in Beit Jala.
Our friend, Amir A-gerge, acted without hesitation. He gave her emergency anti poisoning medication and stayed by her side until she was safe.
Because of his kindness and quick action, she got a second chance at life.
Thank you, Amir, for proving that one person can make all the difference.
