This week 12 puppies were dropped at the gates of our partners at Urban Tails 2016 in Tanzania.
We are grateful that these puppies weren't just abandoned at the roadside, or worse, and Ismael will do everything he can to ensure their welfare.
Urban Tails takes in, cares for and adopts out as many unfortunate puppies and other creatures as they can, but space is always limited. Thankfully they have recently adopted out some pups to a forever home.
We shall look forward to updates on the new puppies, and others at the shelter.

A wonderful friend of Darwin Animal Doctors set out just a few months ago to rescue the wonderful Boonchu. With a bit of help and the support of Isara Elephant Foundation, this beautiful girl is free for the first time in 40 years. Congratulations and thank you to Rachel for this incredible achievement.

The video shows Rachel with Boonchu, happily feeding and interacting with other elephants in a free sanctuary.

Our Tanzanian shelter puppy notices we have some new guests! Our partner does not just rescue dogs, they rescue all kinds of dumped animals. Animals that would have perished in the wild or interferes with the wild. Every white fluffy bunny deserves a chance just like every fluffy pup!
But the puppies keep on coming too, just like these two that Ismael looked after roadside until he had the space to take them in. No pup gets left behind!

We've had a wonderful update from Sarah, our Guardians of the Forest - Youth Rangers coordinator:

"The Youth Ranger programme was co-designed in 2019 with rangers and teachers in the Leseur Eco System, Sumatra and has reached countless children and young people in Sumatra (Indonesia), Cabrera Entrada (Dominica Republic) Kenya, Nairobi and Zimbabwe. The impacts have been huge for not only children, young people and their communities but the wildlife surrounding the villages.

On the eve of international women day 2024, The Zuri Awards stage was filled with celebrating extraordinary women to witness their triumphs, their grace, and their unwavering spirits in the various community initiatives in their respective counties.

Nusrat Muhammed who is the lead facilitator for the Guardians of the Forest Youth Rangers programme is being awarded in the category of education for the One Health concept - Youth Rangers Guardians of the Forest program at Pwani Animal Welfare Community based organization.

There was over 1000 submissions, 200 nominees and eventually 15 awards were given to extraordinary women in the community for delivering amazing work to communities.

The Zuri Foundation provides a platform for nominees to showcase their community projects to the external world and creating a gender equal world by actively choosing to broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women achievements.

Zuri Awards is a platform under the Zuri Foundation in Kenya and was founded in 2017 to recognise, celebrate, and support unsung exceptional women in Kenya dedicated to creating positive change through work in their communities while inspiring others through exceptional displays of leadership, rising against all odds, and being courageous in the face of adversity.

Our congratulations to all the amazing, strong women who were a part of the Zuri Awards journey."

Absolutely great news our fundraiser for Sulala Animal Rescue in Palestine! Thanks to you we were able to raise over $800 AUD to help the rescue!! The latest update from Animals Australia on our donations: “We have 2 tonne of feed and veterinary supplies sitting on a truck in line at the Rafah crossing!”
We are hopeful that our supplies will make it through, even today Sulala has reported that a truck has made it through, but it's a slow trickle and so far the animal aid has not arrived, but we will continue to update you as we hear. Thank you again everyone!!
