Hey I am Farva.

I didn't plan any of this. But I can't stop now.

A few months ago when i came back to Pakistan, one dog changed everything, I came across a dog I named Goldie. She was exhausted, thin, and had clearly just given birth so I started feeding her. After almost a month one morning I found out, someone had stolen eight of her nine puppies. Only one remained with her: Jupiter. I rescued them both. That should have been the end of the story.

It wasn't. Goldie quietly led me to a place I wish I had never seen and that I now cannot look away from.

It is a dumping ground on the outskirts of DHA, Lahore. The society systematically relocates dogs, mostly puppies to this area and abandons them. No food. No shelter. Just animals left to survive in a place they were never meant to be, with no way out.

In the months since Goldie showed me that spot, I have personally rescued 50 plus animals. I have spent my own money, my own time, and more emotional energy than I can put into words. When I shared what I was seeing on social media, people began donating and that help was immense and deeply humbling. But the dumping has not stopped. More dogs arrive. More puppies appear. The scale of the problem keeps growing, and it is not going away on its own. You may also follow my jouney on my instagram Farvaandjack.

Ok so I stopped waiting for it to stop, and started building something that could keep up with it.

I am currently working on multiple fronts. Culling and poisoning of street dogs in Lahore has not stopped so I am actively rescuing mother dogs and puppies and sending them to a trusted shelter, @aagoshe-be-zuban. But I cannot do that without sponsors. Each animal needs food, vaccinations, and eventually spay and neuter surgery. None of that is free.

At the same time, I have launched what will be the first gravity feeder project of its kind in Pakistan, placing large, self-dispensing food stations across the DHA dumping ground so that animals have access to food every single day, even between volunteer visits.

WHAT THIS PROJECT LOOKS LIKE TODAY

8

volunteers, to keep check

1

worker, who's paid to fill up all feeders every other day

These feeders are the most practical, scalable solution we have found for keeping animals fed at scale. But they run entirely on dry dog food and dry dog food costs money, every day, without exception.

This is not a one-time rescue. This is not a weekend project. This is a daily commitment to animals who have no one else. I kept it going out of my own pocket for weeks before donations started coming in. I cannot sustain it without continued support and I refuse to let it collapse, because the moment we stop showing up, these animals have nothing.

Your donation funds dry food for the gravity feeders, food and vaccinations for rescued animals, and spay and neuter costs when the time comes. Eight volunteers give their time for free. We just need the resources to keep going.

Goldie is safe now. Jupiter is healthy and growing. But every morning, more dogs are dropped at that spot confused, hungry, and completely dependent on me showing up. Please help me keep showing up for them.
