Found in winter
Alone on a frozen roadside with nowhere to shelter. Now: an insulated kennel, a bowl filled twice a day, and a yard full of company.
We rescue Kazakhstan's street animals — dogs, cats and more — heal them back to health, and find them the forever homes they were always meant to have.
$35 in the US is one takeaway dinner. In Kazakhstan, it feeds a rescued animal for an entire month.
Across Kazakhstan, countless animals are born onto the streets — surviving brutal winters, hunger and illness. Since 2026 a new national law makes rapid liquidation legal — and it puts a clock on every animal we do not reach in time.
5 days
is all the law asks anyone to wait. A street animal caught in Kazakhstan may be held for up to five days. If nobody claims it in that time, euthanasia is permitted. We exist to reach them first — off the streets and into the safety of our shelters.
strays never see a vet in their lifetime
untreated, becomes thousands in a few years
Raccoons live at our Almaty shelter too. A volunteer hand feeds them shrimp and small fish, then refills the trough they dunk their food in. They eat every day, same as the dogs.
One photograph from the day we found them, one from this month.
