Making a Donation

They are frequently hidden from tourists and lack adequate care.

Stray cats and dogs in Petra often survive on scraps and face health risks.

Your donation provides essential aid and brings hope to these animals in need.

Despite local efforts, resources to support these
animals are limited.

Our Mission

Help stray animals in need by providing essential support, including nutritious food, medical care, and spaying/neutering services. We also offer safe shelters to protect them and ensure they grow up away from the streets. In addition, we engage in community outreach to raise awareness and educate people about the importance of responsible animal care, helping to create a supportive environment for these animals.

❗❗❗Your HELP is NEEDED❗❗❗

Today we sent 3 female dogs and 2 male cats from the Petra area to the veterinary clinic in Aqaba for spaying and castration. They'll be staying for 2 nights to make sure they'll be on a right track for recovery.

The total cost for these operations will be around 320 JOD or €409 and the transportation cost is 120jod / €154 for drop-off today and pick-up 2 days later.
That's a total of at least €563 for 5 loveable animals! 😖😖😖

How much does it cost to castrate or spay a dog/cat in your country? Here in the Netherlands it costs about €400-€700 for a female dog and €165 for a female cat in the Amsterdam area...

Please help these animals for better living conditions and future with your donations!!

They're hungry all the time and we can't let more of such unfortunate ones into this world.

Rabies is still around in Jordan. If humans get bitten by dogs or cats in Jordan, you have to go through a series of 5 to 6 rabies vaccination shots. In 2024, we've been told by the locals that around 5 dogs have been put to sleep due to abnormally violent behaviours in both humane and inhumane ways around Petra....

Giving rabies vaccinations to dogs in and around Petra is one of our activities. On 20th August, we gave shots to 7 dogs. Now they are safe for at least 1 year... 😘😘😘

Another round of feeding dogs and cats inside Petra, on its way to the Monastery on 31st August 2024. Today was another quiet day with virtually no tourists. No tourists and no local Bedouins working inside Petra mean no food for these homeless dogs and cats... 😭😭😭

Please help us feed them, their numbers are dwindling....😖
