Please consider helping the dogs in desperate need in Marrakech

Street dogs in Marrakech have a very hard life, having to beg for food scraps, while trying to keep safe from people they are unable to trust, and trying to find shelter from the harsh weather conditions.

Some dogs are hit by vehicles and many more are beaten or attacked by locals.

Many of the sick & injured dogs end up at Help Adopt Moroccan Animals, a not-for-profit rescue centre in Marrakech. The centre operates solely from donations (which there is never enough), with no government or council funding. Ibtissam & her small team of volunteers do an incredible job feeding and caring for the animals, in very difficult conditions and with few resources.

The rescue centre currently has 96 dogs & 45 cats. All the animals are very loved, however it’s a continual struggle to pay for food, let alone pay for veterinary care or any special requirements. Life can be hard, and unfortunately some days the animals go without food.

Shelter is also a problem. There is not enough shelter from the sun in the summer or protection from the heavy rain in the winter.

Many animals have not been immunised, and it’s not uncommon for dogs to die from Parvo or distemper.

I’m going to Marrakech to volunteer at Help Adopt Moroccan Animals for seven days at the end of March 2020. I am paying all my own costs, and 100% of all money donated will be used to help the animals.

I will be staying at the shelter, so no time will be wasted in daily travel.

I am determined to achieve as much as possible, and to give the animals at Help Adopt Moroccan Animals a better life.

I can’t do this without help, so please consider supporting me. 100% of donations will be spent on building materials, vaccinations & dog food.

I will be posting details of my work in Marrakech on my facebook page (Peter Leutenegger), so you can see the difference your donation makes.

THANK YOU!!
