Help Us to Build the Sanctuary of Hope

Stray, abused, and injured animals in Pakistan are suffering every day. Without shelter, medical care, or food, they endure unimaginable cruelty on the streets. At TAWF, we refuse to let them suffer alone.
 
About TAWF: A Lifeline for Stray Animals
Tahira Animal Welfare Foundation (TAWF) is a small registered non-profit in the UK & Pakistan dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting animals in Faisalabad—Pakistan’s third-largest city. We are the only organization providing:
✅ 24/7 animal rescue services
✅ Medical treatment for the sick & injured
✅ Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) programs
✅ A no-kill shelter offering a second chance at life
 
Over 500 rescued animals rely on us at any time, but our current shelter is on rented land, and the lease ends in December 2025. If we don’t act now, they will lose their only safe haven.

Urgency: Our Shelter Lease Ends in December 2025

Our current shelter, which has been a lifeline for thousands of rescued animals, is on borrowed time. The lease expires in December 2025, and there is no option for renewal. This means that if we do not complete the construction of our new permanent sanctuary before December, we will have nowhere to house the animals under our care.

Construction requires at least six months, making this an urgent and time-sensitive project. We have already built the boundary wall, but now we must begin the next phase—including kennels, catteries, equine sheds, farm animal sheds, and a much-needed hospital.

Why This Sanctuary is Crucial

The new sanctuary will be a safe haven for rescued animals, providing:

✔ Healing & Rehabilitation Zones: Separate designated areas for animals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or rescues.
✔ TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) Section: A dedicated area for spaying, neutering, and vaccinating stray dogs and cats before their safe return to their territories.
✔ Natural Habitats for Recovered Animals: Safe, enriched enclosures for animals who cannot be released back to the wild due to injuries, disabilities, or trauma.
✔ Permanent Shelter for Vulnerable Animals: Many of the animals we rescue cannot survive on the streets again—this sanctuary will be their forever home.

Without this sanctuary, these animals will have nowhere to go.

What Needs to Be Built

To ensure proper care, treatment, and rehabilitation, the sanctuary will include:

Dog Sanctuary & Kennels: Spacious, secure kennels where rescued dogs can heal in a stress-free environment. Once recovered, they’ll move into sanctuary to live freely and safely.

Cattery: A dedicated sanctuary providing care for rescued stray and abandoned cats.

Aviary: A safe, enriched space for rescued birds needing long-term care and rehabilitation.

Equine Sanctuary: Shelters for donkeys, horses, and mules rescued from abuse, abandonment, or harsh labor.

Farm Animal Sanctuary: Housing for cows, goats, sheep, and other farm animals rescued from neglect or mistreatment.

Wildlife Enclosure: A specially designed area for wild animals that are under treatment due to injury or any other medical condition.

Hospital & Medical Center:
A vital part of the sanctuary, providing:
– Emergency treatment for injured and rescued animals
– Surgeries and post-operative care for critical cases
– Diagnostic testing to detect diseases, infections, and injuries

Our Biggest Challenge

Although we have successfully built the boundary wall, the entire construction is still ahead of us. Without donations, we cannot build this sanctuary. We have no option to extend our current shelter lease, and without a permanent facility, rescued animals will have nowhere to go.

How You Can Help

By sponsoring a sanctuary space, you’ll provide lifelong shelter, care, love, food, and medical treatment for a rescued animal—at any given time, forever. Your support ensures that no matter what, an animal in need will always have a safe place to call home.
