Help Save Over 40 Rescue Dogs in Uganda Before
They Run Out of Food

Right now, over 40 rescued dogs in Uganda are facing a heartbreaking reality: their food supply will run
out by the end of next week.
These dogs have already survived abandonment, neglect, abuse, or life on the streets. They now depend
entirely on one small animal shelter—and on the kindness of people willing to help them.
My friend, Lawrence Kavuma, operates a legitimate animal rescue shelter in Uganda and has dedicated his
life to giving abandoned dogs a second chance. The number of dogs in his care changes as new rescues
arrive and others find loving homes. At the time of writing, the shelter is caring for 18 male and 22 female
dogs, with the total often growing to over 40 dogs as emergency rescues come in.
Every day, Lawrence provides these dogs with nutritious food, clean water, safe shelter, veterinary care, and
the love they need to recover while working toward building a larger, permanent shelter on land he has
already purchased.
Unfortunately, the shelter has reached a critical point. Rising food prices, veterinary expenses, and ongoing
land payments have left Lawrence without enough funds to continue providing for the dogs. Unless help
arrives soon, the shelter will run out of food by the end of next week.
I understand that many people are understandably cautious about donating to charities or fundraisers in
other countries, especially in Africa. I felt the same way before I chose to help.
That's why I took the time to verify everything myself.
I personally contacted the local authorities in Uganda to confirm that the shelter's registration and license
were legitimate. They confirmed that the shelter is officially registered, inspected, and operating under the
care of Lawrence Kavuma.
For the past nine months, I have personally supported this rescue because I believe in the work being done
there. Sadly, I have reached a point where I can no longer provide the financial support needed to keep the
shelter going on my own.
Today, I am asking for your help.
Your donation will help provide:
Nutritious food for the rescued dogs.
Veterinary care, medications, and emergency treatment.
Daily shelter operations and essential supplies.
Land payments to secure a permanent, safe home for the dogs.
Every donation, no matter the amount, gives these animals another day of safety, nourishment, and hope.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and
community. Your support—whether through a donation or simply sharing this campaign—can help save
lives.
Together, we can ensure these rescued dogs continue receiving the care, love, and protection they deserve.
Thank you for standing with Lawrence and giving these animals a chance at a brighter future.
