The Friendicoes Mobile Equine Team set up a 3-week treatment camp at Kedarnath, with two more planned! They treated a variety of ailments, from colic and back sores to lameness and eye injuries.  They held workshops to educate local owners on better equine care, inspiring a future of kindness. They also rescued several abandoned and neglected animals, including ponies and wedding horses, giving them a safe home at their Gurgaon shelter.

Their two shelters offer a safe and loving forever home to animals who have suffered terrible neglect and abuse. 32 buffaloes and 4 horse found a loving home after enduring awful conditions. The VSPCA cares for their residents with wholesome meals - animals nutritious daily diets consist of dry hay, fresh green grass (morning and evening!), special concentrated feed and lots of fruits and vegetables! 

Our new project partners Okavango Animal Welfare Trust were a lifeline for so many donkeys and horses in Botswana. Their first outreach clinics saw many wins for animals. In Ukusi they treated 48 donkeys and the second in Shaikarawe cared for 63 donkeys and one horse. The OAWT team, including a local vet and farrier, did amazing work to examine and treat the animals. In addition to vital treatments such as worming and hoof care, the team addressed wounds and other conditions.

Friendicoes Camel Sanctuary is facing a significant change. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the land where the sanctuary is currently located has been divided.  As a result, the sanctuary is being relocated to a different part of the land. In the meantime, the camels are doing well. The recent rains have brought some relief from the heat, and the team is providing them with shade, water, food, and necessary treatments as always. Those undergoing treatment are being cared for.

Thank you to Dr. Zacharia, Dr. Yusuph, Dr. Sr Rosamystica, and translator Samson. Their recent mission to Masinono in Musoma was nothing short of extraordinary. This dedicated team collaborated with local animal welfare officers and government officials and received a warm welcome from the community. Their efforts led to the treatment of 223 donkeys, with 39 receiving specialised care for wounds and 60 owners educated on proper donkey care.

We are grateful to the team at Action for Protection of Wild Animals (APOWA) for their remarkable efforts through the Working Animal Welfare Project. They have worked tirelessly to improve the lives of 93 hardworking animals, including horses and oxen, by providing vaccinations, deworming, injury and illness treatment, and general health check-ups. Your dedication not only cares for these animals but also supports the livelihoods of their owners, making a true impact in the community.

Despite the destructive weather with some minor landslide,, all the animals remained safe and unharmed.  The marvelous sanctuary team has been working hard to repair the damage and ensure the continued comfort and safety of the residents. The sanctuary is particularly happy to share the remarkable progress of Paulie, an injured horse. Paulie has been steadily gaining weight and showing significant improvement.

We are absolutely blown away by the incredible work of the HIS Camel Rescue Centre. Their dedication to animal welfare is truly inspiring. They have provided care for an astounding 963 animals in June! A prime example of the CRC's impact is the case of Ganesh Ram's camel, which was suffering from dehydration and a rise in temperature.

Nowzad's phenomenal team and vets have made a significant impact in Kabul, caring for 153 horses, 2 donkeys, and 10 livestock. They treated 13 horses with injuries from ill-fitting harnesses and addressed a major issue with skin parasites affecting 50 animals. They helped a horse with a deep neck wound, which received hospital treatment, while another had a painful tongue injury from a poor-quality bit.

In Gaza, war and neglect have left many donkeys injured and traumatised, but the Hope Compound run by Starting Over, is providing care for 56 donkeys. Generous donations have enabled the rescue of 168 donkeys from Gaza so far. Notably, Victoria, a female donkey, arrived in critical condition from years of hard labour and Sunday, a young foal rescued from a dangerous area in Ramallah, is also on the mend after suffering from exhaustion and mistreatment.
