Rescue. Heal. Rehome
WE GIVE WARMTH TO THE PAWS THAT HAVE KNOWN ONLY THE COLD
We are
A charitable non-profit organization helping the animal situation in the Saranda area, founded by an Albanian girl after returning to her country from Europe after 15 years abroad. Our mission is to help street dogs and cats by feeding them, sterilizing them, and finding adoptions both inside and outside Albania.
In the meantime, our team has grown with more members such as Lindita and Jonida. Our organization is privately funded and supported by our wonderful sponsors. We are not affiliated with or sponsored by the Albanian government or municipality. I would be very, very happy if you follow our website updates and our social media.
