1. PRIMO
Primo was rescued on August 29, 2020 in Karatu. According the witnesses, he was hit by unknown vehicle and a driver left him to die. Abbas our executive director took Primo to the vet clinic in Arusha town, After X ray observations, It was discovered that most of his backside bones were severely broken and had multiple fractures, the poor dog could not even wag his tail. The Vets advised to put the dog down immediately because there was a minor chance for this guy to survive the injuries and he was already exhausted from the old age. We decided to go for that “minor chance of his survival because we wanted this dog to feel loved even if he might have few days left in this cruel world. We named him Primo (Meaning “First” in Italian), We started to care for Primo, gave him the love and care he deserved. After weeks his pain went away, A vet from Merlino clinic speculated that the dog impossible fractures might have healed. The Accident took Primo’s hind legs, hip and tail bones, he was crawling and never walked again, We had no money to buy a Modern dog wheel chair so we made one for him. Abbas taught him how to walk with it and after few days he could finally be able to walk again in a short distance with the support of his left foreleg. On October 2nd 2020 Primo died from unknown cause, It was a very sad morning when we found him quietly on his blanket, we gave him a proper burial and planted a lemon tree on top of his grave as a symbol of love and respect to his life while creating another cycle of life.
2.MARUDIO/MADII
Meet Marudio or Madii (meaning ”repetition” in Swahili),He was rescued from the street on February 16 ,2021 after his stray mother and two of his siblings got hit by a cement truck and died instantly according to the witnesses, he was just a puppy when he was rescued . He is now doing well and healthy under our facility.
3.CHUI
Meet Chui(Meaning “leopard” in swahili), We rescued this cute little one on May 16 2021 y in Karatu town. She was wondering and looking for food in middle of the busy rough road with full of cars and motorcycles , no one seemed to care for this puppy.
We took her and started to search for her mother by asking the people around and neighboring houses. We searched for hours until evening ,after hours without success we decided to took this little one to our facility that night and gave her a shower and proper meal, she was very thin and had lots of fleas. The next day we went to the area that I picked her to continue with my search without any luck. We did the same for the next 14 days without any success too, We're still wondering what might have happened to her mother and why this puppy was abandoned.
She is under our care now, healthy and happy.

4. HANA
HANA visited our facility on July 28,2021 he visited to look for food ,we were shocked to find out that his nose was about to fall off .We don’t know the story behind his painful life but I can easily guess that this is human work. We raised donation and took Hana to the vet clinic in Arusha town which is 4 to 5 hours’ drive since there is no vet clinic in Karatu. Due to the complications of his injured areas couples of surgeries failed, Hana has a total of 4 surgeries and the last one seems to work at some point. We had to hand feed Hana for four months and spend a good quality time with him to release his stress since We restricted his activities since July to allow his wound to heal. 60% of his wound healed and form new tissues and skin but other parts failed to connect. Just like the rest of the dogs we're also taking care of Hana at our facility until today.
