DONATE

Uganda SPCA's Haven was meant to hold about 120 dogs & cats, but since it's the only animal shelter serving central Uganda & because animal adoption is just gaining popularity, The Haven easily gets beyond capacity. Plus, The Haven is located on rented space-at any time, they could be asked to vacate the property. AKI is raising money so Uganda Society for the Protection & Care of Animals can purchase land to create a state-of-the-art-sanctuary-education facility, the 1st of its kind in Africa.

Challenge

Yes, Animal-Kind International's partner organization, USPCA, needs more space to rescue & rehab more dogs & cats--the Haven is often above the 120 dog/cat capacity. But our vision is so much more: a facility where dogs & cats have freedom to exercise & play, potential adopters can comfortably visit with dogs & cats, where Ugandan kids can learn about animals, animal shelter staff throughout Africa can learn shelter management, animal care & handling, & where volunteers can be accommodated.

Long-Term Impact

The Haven will be able to rescue & rehab more dogs & cats-a new facility should hold 200-250 animals. In a country where animal adoption is just becoming known, The Haven will be prepared to meet the demand for adoptable animals. If an animal is in need of rescue, there's no place to go but The Haven, & with this new facility, no dog or cat will be turned away. The transformed Haven will have space for volunteers & will be an attractive place for kids & others to learn about kindness to animals.
