October was a month of great progress and hard work in the donkey-owning community, thanks to kindness and donations from our wonderful supporters. From outreach activities to emergency veterinary care, a lot was accomplished, highlighting the ongoing need for additional funding to provide crucial medical assistance to donkeys in need…

This month, the team made a lot of progress in treating and caring for a total of 127 donkeys, both in the field and at the sanctuary. Such extensive support would not have been possible without the generosity of our donors and supporters. Of these donkeys, 112 were treated for ectoparasites, and 98 received deworming treatment… 

As October brings the relief of post-monsoon breezes and a shift in the season, The Working Animal Welfare Project (APOWA) celebrates another month of making a tangible difference in the lives of working animals and their owners thanks to Animal Aid Abroad.

Hundreds of animals in India, thanks to Friendicoes, are given hope and healing where it’s needed most. The team is doing incredible work providing essential medical care to horses, ponies, and mules across India, especially those on the gruelling Kedarnath Pilgrimage trek.

Despite heavy rain and floods damaging the sanctuary’s fencing, all animals and staff are safe. The team is raising funds to rebuild by 4th November. This month, one of their beloved donkeys, Sonu, is under treatment for a suspected tick-borne illness and her daughter Monu is being carefully monitored.

Our amazing partner, LAZAWO, recently completed a major clinic in Muhoji village, treating 245 new donkeys for conditions like wounds, tick infestations, and colic. An additional 157 donkeys received follow-up care, bringing the total treated to 402!

Thanks to all the amazing support, the HIS Camel Rescue Centre team has been doing some incredible work for camels in India. In September alone, they held 17 mobile clinic outreaches, treated 498 animals, including 100 camels! They replaced inhumane nose pegs and fitted 2 camel carts with reflectors to keep the camels safe on the roads from accidents.

The NOWZAD team has done amazing work for animals this month, bringing some noteworthy changes to their care efforts.  For the first time in a long while, no vaccinations were carried out! Instead, the focus shifted to addressing harness wounds and providing as many horses and donkeys as possible with new padded harnesses.
