Help Save 600 Rescued Dogs from Hunger and Homelessness

Hi everyone,

My name is Wa, and I’m an international student at Vanderbilt University, Class of 2028. I’m writing to ask for your help.

For the past five years, I’ve been volunteering at an animal rescue shelter in Xuancheng, Anhui, China — a place that has become a last refuge for nearly 600 stray dogs. These animals were rescued over the years by an incredible woman, Grandma Zhang, the 80-year-old founder of the shelter. Many of the dogs are old, sick, or disabled — the ones most often abandoned and least likely to be adopted.

Grandma Zhang once sold her own retirement home in Shanghai just to afford the 3 tons of dog food needed each month to keep the shelter running. She now lives at the shelter full-time, waking up at 4 a.m. every day and sleeping only 3 hours a night to care for the animals.

But now, the shelter is in crisis.

They are running out of food.

They are at risk of losing their space.

And they desperately need our help.

In addition to food, the shelter must cover the costs of two workers to help care for the dogs, as well as monthly utilities. And this month, the shelter faces a critical deadline: they must pay one year’s rent—45,000 RMB (about $6,200 USD) or risk eviction.

Despite these hardships, Grandma Zhang never turns a dog away. Locals often bring in strays they find, knowing it may be the only safe place for them. But with no steady funding, the situation has become unsustainable.

We are urgently raising funds to:

Buy food for 600 dogs

Pay for rent to avoid eviction

Support basic utilities and caregiver wages

Please, if you can, donate and help us share this message. Every dollar, every repost, and every act of kindness makes a difference. Let’s come together to protect these lives and support the tireless woman who has spent her whole life given them hope.

Donate now — and help us keep these dogs safe, fed, and loved.

For the voiceless, your compassion can mean everything.

大家好，

我是范德堡大学2028届的一名中国学生，我叫barbar。今天我怀着沉重的心情向大家求助。

从五年前开始，我一直在中国安徽宣城的一家流浪动物救助站做志愿者。这家救助站目前收容了将近600只流浪狗，它们大多数是年老、患病或有残疾的狗狗，曾被人遗弃，后来被救助站的创始人——80岁的章奶奶从不同渠道救回来。

章奶奶为了这些狗狗，倾尽所有。她甚至卖掉了自己在上海的养老房，只为每个月购买3吨狗粮，维持狗狗们的基本生存。如今她常年住在救助站里，每天凌晨4点就起床照顾狗狗，一天只睡三个小时。近两年因为身体原因，她还需要雇佣两名工人来协助打扫和照料这些毛孩子。

但是，现在救助站正面临前所未有的危机：

狗粮即将耗尽

无力支付每月的水电和工人工资

更严重的是：我们必须在这个月内缴纳一年的房租——45,000元人民币（约合6,200美元），否则将面临被迫搬离的命运

与此同时，附近的人常常将捡到的流浪狗送到救助站来，虽然资源匮乏，但章奶奶始终不忍心拒绝任何一条生命。可如今，救助站已难以支撑。

我们正在紧急筹款，用于：

购买足够的狗粮，避免狗狗们挨饿

支付房租，保住唯一的避风港

维持基本水电费用和工人工资

请大家伸出援手，无论是一份捐款，还是一次转发，都是对这些毛孩子生命的支持。希望大家一起传播这份爱心，让更多人关注并加入我们的行动。

请帮助我们为这些流浪动物守护一个温暖的家。

为那些没有声音的生命，你的一点善意，就是全部希望。

万分感谢
