September Summary

__________________________________________________________________________________

Great news! We've officially kicked off our Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program in Bethlehem, thanks to the amazing cooperation of the Bethlehem Municipality and our dedicated team.

We successfully caught several dogs, including two mothers and their puppies, and began the process of sterilization, vaccination, deworming, and flea treatment.

A huge thank you to the volunteering vets, Mohammed Rajii, Yousif Musallam, and Dr. Ahmad Abu Dayyeh, as well as the employees of the Bethlehem Municipality and Mayor Maher Qanawati and the council board.

We still need your help to cover the costs of vaccinations, deworming, and other essential treatments. Please consider donating to support this vital work.

A heartbreaking crisis is unfolding in Zarqa, Jordan. The local government has rounded up stray dogs and left them to die in the desert, with no access to food or shelter and with inadequate water provision. This is not a solution; it is a death sentence for these defenseless animals.

We've already reached out to two international organizations for help, but we need more voices to be heard. We must raise awareness and apply pressure on the Zarqa Governorate to end this cruel practice.

Please help us be a voice for these dogs.

Here's how you can make an immediate impact:

EMAIL THE GOVERNORATE DIRECTLY: Send an email to the Zarqa Governorate at zarqa@moi.gov.jo to register your complaint. Simply copy and paste the message below.

Subject: Urgent Action Needed to End Cruel Dog Culling in ZarqaTo the Zarqa Governorate,I am writing to express my outrage and disgust at the inhumane campaign of abandoning stray dogs in the desert without food or shelter and without adequate water provision. This is a cruel and senseless act that will lead to the slow and painful deaths of innocent animals.I urge you to take the following actions immediately:
1. Stop this campaign of dumping dogs in the desert EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
2. Retrieve those dogs that have already been dumped in the desert and take them to a safer place.
3. Institute a humane spay-and-neuter campaign as an ethical and long-term solution to manage the animal population.
This practice is not only barbaric but also reflects poorly on the city of Zarqa. The world is watching, and we demand that you find a humane, ethical solution.Sincerely,[Your Name]

Found near a shop in Bethlehem, this tiny 3-month-old was hit by a car 🚗 and couldn't walk. 💔

We immediately got her to our amazing vet, Dr. Mohammed Raji 🩺, whose X-rays revealed multiple fractures in her back legs and pelvis. 🦴

The good news is that we were able to secure a sponsor for her case 🙏, and she was admitted to the hospital yesterday. 🏥 We are now waiting for more news about her health and hope for the best. 🤞

Thank you to everyone who helped to rescue this poor little puppy. ❤️🐾

Update- 3 days later: Update on this puppy from 3 days ago: Since her surgery, she is still weak with many ailments yet she is doing so much better since her rescue. We are over the moon that she is on the road to recovery and getting to know everyone else at the clinic.

A beautiful young dog was run over by a speeding motorcyclist who didn't even stop. Our friend Thaer saw the accident and acted quickly, moving her to the side of the road and calling for help. Sulaiman raced her to Vet Mohammed Raji, but despite their best efforts, her injuries were too severe, and she passed away.

We are so tired of this happening. We beg everyone to please drive with care. Animals are a part of our community and deserve our respect and protection.

RIP- Thank you, Mayor Maher Qanawati, for your quick action! He spotted a tiny puppy here in desperate need and immediately called us for help. Sulaiman, our worker, rushed to the scene to get him to the vet.

The poor little guy was weak, anemic, and covered in fleas. He's remained hospitalized with Dr. Mohammad Raji and getting the care he desperately needs. Unfortunately, he died the next day. We were just too late in the end.

Amazing teamwork and compassion in Hebron! It all started when Rami Abu Yousif from Samou' discovered a dog stuck in a deep, treacherous hole filled with dirt and sewage. When the Hebron Civil Defense team found the rescue too difficult due to the hole's complex tunnels, Rami and Diana began a chain of calls that brought Nablus Civil Defense into the picture.

Together, the teams from Hebron and Nablus, along with the municipality, worked tirelessly. When even they couldn't reach the dog, Rami took matters into his own hands and, with the trust he had built, bravely went in to get him.

He found a rope around the dog’s neck, a heartbreaking sign that someone had tried to get rid of him. But now the dog is safe, and Rami is making sure he gets all the vaccinations and care he needs. This is a powerful reminder of how far kindness and community can go.

This sweet mother dog, a familiar face in the neighborhood, was recently hit by a car and left on the side of the road. 💔 Thanks to some kind young men who knew Diana, she was rushed to Vet Ahmad Abu Dayyeh. 🚗

What the X-rays showed was shocking: bullet fragments in her face. 😱 She also has internal issues from years of giving birth, is anemic, and was covered in fleas.

Thankfully, an amazing association has stepped up to sponsor her treatment. We are so grateful for everyone who helped save this brave girl! 🙏💖

⚠️ TW: Graphic paw injury ⚠️

Meet three adorable puppies in urgent need of a home! These little ones were rescued from Abu Dis University by two compassionate student volunteers, Reem and Doha Salameh.

One of the puppies had a serious leg injury, and all three were suffering from fleas. Thanks to the amazing care from Vet Mohammed Raji, they are now healthy and safe at our shelter.

Our shelter is completely full, and these puppies need a place to call home. Can you open your heart and home? Please contact us to foster or adopt one of these sweet pups.

We're so happy to share some amazing news! Three of our beloved dogs—Miso, Laila, and Gretta—have found their forever homes in Germany! 🐾

It’s been a long journey for them. Miso was a skinny stray with skin problems six years ago. Laila was an old dog with tumors, rescued from Doha. And Gretta was rescued as a young puppy from Ramallah. They all received the love, care, and medical attention they needed to become the healthy, happy dogs they are today.

This incredible adoption mission was made possible by the dedicated team at Notpfote Animal Rescue, led by Babette and her husband Tom. A huge thank you to our volunteer Jarno, who escorted them all the way to Germany.

This success story is proof that every rescued animal deserves a second chance. Thank you to everyone who supported this mission!

This little puppy was hit by a car in Bethlehem and left for 48 hours before someone found her and called for help. Her X-rays show multiple fractures in her legs and pelvis.

She is now in critical condition at the hospital, receiving the care she so desperately needs. We are so grateful to everyone who has stepped in to help—from the kind person who found her, to Arlette and Diana who got her to the vet, and the association that is now sponsoring her case.

Her journey to recovery will be long and difficult, but she has a team fighting for her.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped so far: Arlette Qarraa for her quick action, the vet at Al Buraq for the initial treatment and x-rays, Vet Mohammed Raji, and the association who stepped in to sponsor her case and get her to the hospital.

❤️‍🩹 Three tiny puppies were dumped near a school, with one tragically hit by a bus. The headmistress didn't want anything to do with them, but a kind teacher called for help, and we immediately sent our amazing worker Ahmad to the scene.

We rushed the three survivors to Vet Mohammed Raji for a check-up. After getting a clean bill of health, they came to the shelter, where they got much-needed flea treatment, a warm bath, and a full meal.

Now, these sweet puppies are safe, but they desperately need a home. Our shelter is completely full, and we have no room for them.

We are urgently looking for foster or adoptive families. Please, if you have space in your heart and your home, open your doors to one of these little angels. Please contact +972 595221771
