Support 153 abused dogs rescued from fake shelters in Uganda

Animal Heroes supports Ellie Lukenge, an animal rescuer from Uganda who has saved over 5,000 animals and manages Animal Lifeline Uganda, a registered shelter.

Recently Ellie helped uncover a large criminal network of fake animal shelters where animals were deliberately injured, abused, and starved in order to collect donations online. Investigations are still ongoing, but 12 fake shelters have been closed down and 12 owners have been arrested.

Together with his team of undercover investigators, Ellie rescued 153 dogs from horrific conditions and these animals need urgent help.

How can you help?

Ellie has asked us for urgent support for the following:

🥣 Food (1 week of food per dog: €7)
✂️ Sterilisation (€70 per dog)
🏥 Medical care for 8 injured animals (€600)
🛏️ 6 Kennels urgently needed (€125 per kennel)
🧸 Blankets (€4.50 per dog)
💉 Rabies vaccination (€2.50 per dog)
💊 Deworming (€3 per dog)

100% of your donation goes directly to supporting these rescued animals.

Every donation — big or small — helps abused animals recover from trauma, heal from their injuries, and receive a second chance at life.

How can you donate?

Donating is safe, fast, and easy. There are no obligations: you can choose to make a one-time donation. You can make a donation in a few simple steps. After a successful donation, you will receive a donation receipt by email.

Animal Heroes is an international emergency aid organisation for animals, based in Amsterdam. We support local animal heroes — people who care for animals in the most difficult circumstances — with fast and efficient emergency aid.

We go where the need is greatest — into the heart of crises, conflict and disaster, to places that are often inaccessible to most. In some of the darkest places on earth, we stand alongside the people who refuse to leave animals behind, bringing emergency aid when it matters most.

We have carried out emergency aid missions in war zones and following earthquakes, floods, and wildfires in Gaza, Lebanon, The Westbank, Ukraine, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece, Uganda, Venezuela, and Nepal.

We also run permanent emergency clinics in Gaza and the West Bank, where we provide animals with medical care and support local animal heroes in their life-saving work.

No, because it would cost too much to ship goods. What Lukenge needs most is money for sterilisation, vaccinations, food, and medicine.
