Help Bring Water to the Sanctuary!

Help us purchase a 5,000 liter water tank and have it installed at our street dog sanctuary!!!

African Street Dog Rescue was formed in June 2023 by Little Hill Sanctuary founder Camilla - and her best friend from childhood, Anna Johnson. Anna and her family moved to Mwanza, Tanzania in January 2023 and immediately saw the terrible living conditions of the street dogs. In a city of 2 million, no animal shelter, rescue, or sanctuary was in place to deal with the crisis. Several local ex-pats would take in dogs when able and try to find them homes - but often the dogs needing care would have contagious mange and other unknown diseases which would put their own dogs at risk.

Camilla and Anna started African Street Dog Rescue with the hope of achieving 3 main goals: 1) reduce the street dog population and their suffering through spay & neuter clinics held throughout the city, 2) build an animal shelter to take in the most vulnerable of the street dogs that could not continue living on the streets, and 3) educate locals on animal rights and animal advocacy.

Partnering together with SPCAI, we have been able to begin to achieve all 3 of our goals! We have hosted multiple spay & neuter clinics over the past 9 months - fixing hundreds of dogs and vaccinating thousands. We have built the beginnings of a dog sanctuary on our vet's donated property. Eventually, we will be able to care for 30-40 medically fragile dogs at this site. Lastly, we have begun to educate locals about animal rights - advocating for proper feeding and care of locally owned dogs.

We have the walls of the sanctuary up! We have 4 isolation kennels built for new dogs to come in. We currently have 4 residents on site (2 sweet dogs that are too fragile to return to the streets and will remain at the sanctuary). Our next big project is bringing water to the sanctuary! Our caregiver is currently hauling water to the sanctuary by hand in buckets. With $500, we will be able to purchase a 5000 liter water tank, have it installed, and have running water onsite!
