"*URGENT: Save 5 Stray Dogs in Lebanon* Hi, I'm Joanne, an Australian currently volunteering my time to help stray dogs in Lebanon.

I'm racing against time to rescue 5 stray dogs from a street in Lebanon where they'll likely be poisoned or brutally removed. I found them 2 weeks ago, malnourished and neglected, with one having suffered horrific abuse – his ears were mutilated by humans.

I've found a shelter 5 hours away that's willing to give them a loving home, but we need to act fast. To qualify for the shelter, the dogs need to be desexed, vaccinated, and cleaned, and we'll need to cover a $100/month allowance for their ongoing care. Plus, we'll need to provide food for transport. The total cost will be in the thousands. We have just 7 days to make this happen. If we don't, these innocent dogs will be left to die on the streets. Can you help? Every donation counts, and together, we can give them a second chance at life.
