In Turkey, stray animals face unimaginable hardships every day—from scavenging for food to suffering from illness and injury. Many are victims of abuse, neglect, and cruel practices such as poisoning and mutilation. Recent government legislation allowing mass euthanasia of stray dogs has put countless lives at immediate risk, sparking widespread protests and outrage among animal welfare organizations and citizens alike.
This approach is widely criticized as inhumane, ineffective, and dangerous. Municipalities lack the infrastructure to house and care for large numbers of stray animals, and the law fails to address the root causes of overpopulation, such as insufficient sterilization and lack of public education.

We rescue dogs and cats from the streets and rehabilitate them with love, nutritious food, and urgent medical attention. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to nurse animals back to health, socialize them, and help them find safe, loving forever homes where they can thrive.
