A journey of love and hope: Our ongoing mission to save Lebanon’s strays

Since 2018, our mission has been simple but vital: to give Lebanon’s forgotten dogs and cats the life they truly deserve.

Walking through our streets, it is impossible to ignore the “invisible” souls—the dogs and cats who have been abandoned, injured, or forgotten. But thanks to a community of animal lovers like you, we have been able to turn heartbreak into hope.

A legacy of rescue and rehoming

Since we began this journey, the impact has been life-changing. Together, we have successfully placed over 5,000 pets into loving forever homes. Our reach hasn’t stopped at our borders; we have even found homes in France for more than 50 pets who were overlooked locally.

Beyond rehoming, our commitment to the stray population includes vital TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and rehoming programs, through which we have rescued, spayed, or neutered more than 500 pets. These programs are the frontline of reducing suffering on the streets.

The heartbreaking reality on the ground

The work never stops because the need never ends. Many of our rescues arrive with stories that are difficult to hear, survivors of extreme abuse, abandonment, car accidents, and severe illness. These animals have been let down by the world, and we are often their very last hope.

100% transparency: Every penny counts

When you donate to the Adopt Don’t Shop: A Journey of Love & Hope fundraiser, you are making a direct, tangible impact.

We are a small team of dedicated volunteers. We do not take salaries. This means that every single penny you contribute is used exclusively for the rescue and care of these pets. Funds are withdrawn specifically per case or per need to ensure they go exactly where they are required most.

Your donations provide:

  • Life-saving medical care: Emergency surgeries and treatments for victims of accidents and abuse.
  • Prevention: Spay/neuter programs to humanely control the stray population and prevent future suffering.
  • The essentials: Nutritious food, medicine, and the safety of a shelter in foster homes while our rescues wait for their perfect families.

Be the hero they’ve been waiting for

We invite you to follow these incredible transformations and see your donations in action on our social media pages @teamadslb (Facebook, Instagram, and X/Twitter). You can also find all of our stories and updates on our website: www.adoptdontshoplb.org.

Thank you for being the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. ❤️
