Case in point 👇🏻
A female approximately 18 month old bully-type dog was found outside, Animal Welfare were called and dog is neither chipped nor injured and hence she was not picked up. The person who found her spoke to several sanctuaries but they can’t take her in.. what’s next? Does he put her back in the streets?
We are already facing this each and every single day, our aim is to not to euthanize any dogs but to not have any puppies at all. We look forward to continue working together on this so that all dogs will not continue to suffer.
In the meantime, if anyone can foster her, please message us 🙏🏻.

🇲🇹 Inħossu li din il-kwistjoni jistħoqqilha post għaliha! Nara wisq klieb jimxu fix-xemx ta’ nofs il-jum ...
Jekk jogħġbok toħroġx annimali jimxu fix-xemx, speċjalment meta fuq tarmak jew konkos. Filwaqt li inti tkun liebes żarbun biex jipproteġik, saqajhom ikunu f'kuntatt dirett mal-art tikwi. Il-ġilda tinħaraq f'anqas minn minuta f'kuntatt dirett ma' l-art tikwi.
Agħmel dan it-test sempliċi: Poġġi idejk jew saqajk diretti fuq il-bankina. Jekk tkun taħraq wisq għalik, allura anqas mhi tajba għal pet tiegħek!
🇬🇧 We feel this issue deserves its own post! I've seen too many dogs being walked in the afternoon sun ...
Please do not take pets out for walks in the sun, especially when it's on tarmac or concrete. Whilst you may have shoes to protect you, their paws are in direct contact with the hot ground. Walking barefoot on hot tarmac can cause damage to the skin in as little as a minute.
Do a simple test: Put your bare hands or feet on the pavement. If it's too hot for your, then it's too hot for your pet!

Golden Bay (ir-Ramla tal-Mixquqa) is the only sandy beach within the boundary of Majjistral Park. We are delighted that the first turtle nest of the year was confirmed here!
We wish to thank Nature Trust - FEE Malta and Wildlife Rescue Team Malta for their continuous work to patrol the Maltese beaches to spot any turtle egg laying activities. They will now start to guard the nest until the eggs hatch.
Please head to their pages for any further information.

Animal Welfare grant....a scam?

PETITION: Temporary Ban of breeding and Importation of the most abused, abandoned and neglected breed in the world.
Following the case involving 27 bully breed dogs found in horrible conditions rescued by Animal Welfare and the countess incidents involving bully breeds that has happened before this, it is time to act! Vuċi għall-Annimali, Association for Abandoned Animals, Gozo SPCA and The Island Sanctuary are speaking up for the rights and well-being of these loyal and deserving animals.
We advocate for a comprehensive approach to address this issue, including stricter regulations against abuse and illegal breeding practices, increased efforts to enforce existing laws, and initiatives to promote responsible pet ownership and adoption.
To achieve this we are requesting the Maltese government to issue a temporary ban of the breeding and importation of all bully breed dogs as also proposed by The Commissioner for Animal Welfare, until the situation has adequately improved. This ban would include also mixed breed bully breeds.
This petition aims to gather public support to safeguard these breeds and their mixes from exploitation by abusers and backyard breeders. Too often, these dogs are abandoned with cropped ears and lacking microchips, which indicates that illegal ear cropping practices are still being done in Malta.
Additionally, many are tragically subjected to dogfighting or used as bait-dogs, while female dogs are exploited as puppy breeding machines.
Regrettably, an alarming overpopulation of these breeds end up in sanctuaries or animal welfare facilities, with few prospects for adoption. It is unjust and unkind to confine these dogs to a lifetime in pens.
It is IMPORTANT to state that this ban is for specifically the ban of breeding and importation and does not mean a ban of any dogs already in care.

Does anyone in the Mosta area recognise this kitty? Area of the Monday Market? She's congested and definitely needs help. Wondering if anyone knows of her, and if she's possibly already started medicated before she's trapped to be brought to the vet..
We are overwhelmed by the response for our 8 week old kittens 💞, sadly not seeing so much love for our 8 month old kitten.? Why :(
Please help me find a forever good home for Gummiemu( pom pom) Gummie for friends.
He was kicked out of his previous home and spent his days crying to anyone who would approach.
He is still very young, neutered, deflead and dewormed. He has a special character. Never have I met such a loving "stray". He LOVES to be cuddled and loved.
Kindly share. 🙏 He cannot go back on the streets. Thanks🐾
