Help support rescued dogs and cats in the Accra Region of Ghana.
SANCORE Animal Rescue and Shelter is a nonprofit no-kill, animal
rescue and adoption organization the first of its kind in Ghana. We
need help to put up and support animal rescue and animal shelter in
Ghana, provide veterinary needs, including spay/neuter, vaccinations
and cater for, the hundreds of abandoned stray dogs and cats roaming
the streets around the Greater Accra Region in Ghana. There is a
constant increase in the number of stray animals that live their lives
in terrible conditions in and around the urban areas.
Our mission is to save the lives of homeless and abandoned dogs
and cats in the Greater Accra Region, by providing access to low-cost
spay and neuter programs, exposing animal cruelty in order to reduce
the inhumane treatment of animals and educating the public on the
plight of shelter animals in an effort to increase
adoptions.
The occurrence of Rabies in stray animals, especially
in urban areas is of great importance and poses danger to the general
public. We are constantly occupied with stray animal vaccinations
against rabies. Although these actions are very dangerous, we do it
with courage and enthusiasm. By helping these stray dogs and cats, we
will be helping to protect the population and free-roaming animals
against the spread of dangerous zoonosis like rabies.
Our project will also gradually reduce dog populations in a
humane manner, and consequently, reduce the threat from dogs to people
and wildlife. We will also be able to offer the saved animals for adoption.
The project will be situated in Madina a suburb of Accra. We
are putting up an animal shelter for rescued cats and dogs, premises
for treatment of animals and a laboratory which will cost $10000 US;
we will plan to purchase veterinary surgical equipment for
Spaying/Neutering, vaccinating and performing general veterinary
treatments at a cost of $5000 US.
Together with other two young veterinarians, we have taken the
challenge for the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of
animals in need of care and attention and, in particular, to provide
and maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care
and treatment of such animals. We are in desperate need of a durable
shelter, a used mobile veterinary clinic, surgical supplies and
funding to continue the vital work. We should not need to cut each
piece of gauze in half in order to make ends meet. Every cent raised
will go towards the building of a shelter, purchase of a used mobile
clinic, veterinary medical supplies that will be used to help dogs and
other stray animals. In due course, we will be giving discounted
services to people who can afford to keep our project going on. For
every cent we raise, one dog or cat will be able to receive some
feeding and veterinary treatment. A contribution from you, no matter
the amount, will make a big difference in the life of an abandoned,
sick, injured or abused animal.
