Help Us Rescue Bal & Kara!

URGENT ACTION NEEDED

Tails of Istanbul, in partnership with Help Street Cats & Dogs and Sponsor A Dog, are URGENTLY seeking funds for Bal & Karmeli - female siblings currently on the streets in Turkey. Just 2 years old 💔

Both have been shot in the eye, we believe, by the same heartless person.

At first it was thought they had an eye infection, but a vet has confirmed they are definitely gun shot wounds.

Volunteers alerted us to the situation and we are hoping to coordinate resources and get these dogs to safety.

WILL YOU HELP OUR TEAM TAKE ACTION?

  1. First they will go to Istanbul for checks and one month of care.
  2. Then the two dogs will go to our partner Sponsor A Dog in Aydin as we work towards getting Bal & Kara adopted into a forever home.

Funds raised through this campaign will go towards:

  • Transportation to Istanbul
  • Vet Care in Istanbul
  • Pension care and training in Istanbul (one month)
  • Transport to Aydin
  • Food while staying with Sponsor A Dog in Aydin
  • Preparations for travel to forever home(s)
  • NO Admin fees besides Stripe / PayPal / bank fees on transfers to partners involved.

WILL YOU SUPPORT THESE DOGS?

This is an important step towards ending a painful existence - starvation, neglect, abuse and cruelty.

These dogs just want food, water and somewhere safe to sleep 😢

EVERY DOLLAR HELPS!

Why the Campaign $ Goal Has Increased...

Update posted by Sara Graham at 03:37 pm

Hello Backers!I hope you've all had a good week. On our side there have been some significant issues with both Bal & Kara. Bal is having some problems with the wound where she lost her eye so that is being checked for infection. Kara, unfortunately, has tested positive for Leishmania.. . . . .
