Difficult cases
Our shelter for cats and dogs is one of the main functions of SPARE. We accept animals in need due to injury, abandonment, or other emergencies. All new arrivals have a thorough medical exam, and are vaccinated for rabies. After a quarantine period, in which we assess any special needs or particular illnesses, the animal is available for adoption.
Amazing transformations take place at the Shelter. Our vets have treated all kinds of animals in urgent need, and through care and dedication to rehabilitation, we give animals a new chance at life.
Azhar
This is the beautiful Azhar. Azhar means flowers in Arabic, as she will soon blossom into a beautiful dog once she is treated from her terrible mange.
She was recently brought into the shelter by one of SPARE's dear friends, Mr Hazem Metwally, who spotted her in Beni Youssef (Giza area).
He quickly called SPARE and we were quick to respond, sending off our catchers Hazem and Yasser (pictured above) to bring her in for treatment. They was utterly heartbroken from her condition.
They had a hard time finding her but finally after an exhausting search Hazem and Yasser found her and brought her back to the shelter.
She is currently undergoing intense treatment, ESMA vet Dr. Mostafa has started giving her her first doses of treatment. Soon enough she will blossom into the beautiful flower she deserves to be and hopefully adopted to a loving home.
If you would like to provide a donation to help in Azhar's recovery we would be so grateful. She needs all the medical attention she needs to heal. Please visit our "How You Can Help" section if you would like to donate.
Doris
Doris is one of the recent amazing cases. She was abandoned at SPARE with terrible lacerations on her back and virtually no fur on her skinny little body. The picture below in on her first day. The blue tinted medication on her back is a topical antibiotic covering her wounds.
Months later, after intensive care and lots of loving attention, Doris is a completely different dog. Yes, the picture below is the same dog who arrived at the shelter on the verge of death. The deep wound along her spine still requires treatment, but today Doris is a happy and playful dog.
Saving dogs like Doris requires extensive resources. We will never refuse a dog like Doris, and will do all that we can to treat an animal who has a chance at life. But we depend on your donations to purchase the medicine, pay our veterinarians, and keep our doors open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for animals in need. Please help SPARE help the next Doris, because the unfortunate reality is that tomorrow there will be another desperate case, and a new one the next day.
