How to Help?

Supporting animal rescue in Qatar doesn’t always require adopting a pet

Although adopting is one of the most rewarding ways to make a difference. Here are some simple ways you can help:

1. Share posts: Amplify adoption appeals and lost pet alerts so they reach more people.
2. Donate: Even small contributions can cover food, vaccinations, or emergency vet bills.
3. Foster: Offer a safe temporary home until animals are adopted.
4. Volunteer: Assist with feeding programs, transport, or shelter care.

Every action, no matter how small, contributes to building a more compassionate community for animals in Qatar. These organisations rely on visibility and engagement—your like, share, or follow could be the reason a cat or dog finds a safe home. Explore the Facebook and Instagram pages linked above, follow their journeys, and support in any way you can.
