Hey folks - some exciting updates below!
We really appreciate all of you who have donated so far, your every dollar is going to save a life and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It is your hard earned money and you chose to help us help animals. We see your kindness and are deeply moved by it. We are looking forward to our upcoming fundraiser walk in Castle Island - it’s going to be a blast! 🎉
We recently had an angel donor provide us with a large shipment of Bravecto and Nexgard, This is huge!
Sometimes when you work towards a cause, the whole universe conspires to help you on the journey.
The donor chose to remain anonymous.
What is Bravecto
Bravecto is an industry-leading flea and tick preventative tablet. It is highly effective in preventing tick-borne illnesses and skin-related issues. It is one of the name brands that we use as monthly treatment for our furbabies or furry pals at home and in shelters in the United States.
Stray dogs suffer from other skin infections like Sarcoptic Mange. Sadly, such dogs are mislabeled as ones with rabies and are subject to cruel treatment by locals because they look bad. Mange can be treated and prevented. Bravecto is effective for staving off these skin diseases and it is the medication that lasts LONGEST.

How long does it last?
It lasts as long as 12 weeks but anecdotally we have noticed that it lasts as long as 6 months. Our hope is to visit India every six months and keep providing the same strays with Bravecto. With continued support from our community of Angels we are hopeful for the future.
