Help Us Transform Uganda SPCA Haven Animal Shelter

This is how every moonth goes at the Uganda SPCA Haven. Lots of adoptions every month, for which we are eternally grateful, but more animals come in -every single month-than go to their 4ever homes. HOW LONG CAN THIS LAST? At some point, The Haven will be full. I hope when that time comes, we will be ready to purchase a plot of land and move to a spacious location.

In total, AKI has raised about US$16,000 and USPCA has raised, in-country, about US$9,000. That's about 1/4 of the way to where we need to be to buy a plot of land. Katia and I put a cost proposal together to approach some landowners who are friendly to the USPCA and we're hoping we can reach a deal--but 1st they have to decide to part with a piece of their land. I'll keep you posted!

For now, USPCA is taking care of 46 puppies, most of them ready to say goodbye to their friends at The Haven and go off to their 4ever homes, if only they could find one! (See pictures of 2 of the pups).

On the happy side, in July, 22 animals were adopted from The Haven. I'll post some of the pictures with their new families.

The USPCA has a new vet, Dr. Singh. The previous vet left The Haven to pursue her education. Dr. Singh has been very busy with communtiy spay/neuter work (see pictures). You can imagine though, I'm sure, no matter how many community dogs (and cats) are sterilized, in Kampala and Entebbe and in between, it will take years to reach equilibrium in population growth. And that's one of the main reasons we so desperately need that spacious piece of land -- the need for the USPCA's work is certainly not slowing down!!!! (see Dr. Singh spaying a cat in the picture below).

We are so grateful for your support. Please spread the word about USPCA's amazing work and our goal of raising money to purchase land to create a true HAVEN for Uganda's cats and dogs.
