Our dedicated Emergency Response Team goes above and beyond to rescue distressed animals. They are on call 24 hours a day, and responded to nonstop emergencies in the month of October, continuously entering perilous situations to rescue animals.

One case in October is four-month-old Sari, who was reported to be stranded and seemingly defeated on the side of a deep ravine, with a cruel rope embedded in her flesh.

Thanks to Dewa Made, our rescue team captain, who skillfully descended the ravine, Sari is now safe and recovering. Without immediate intervention, she would have faced a grim fate. Watch the video for a glimpse into Sari’s journey and consider contributing to ensure her well-being. Your support can change lives and create a compassionate world for Bali’s animals.

BAWA discovered Indy huddled in a mosquito-infested gutter, desperately guarding a deep and infected slash wound.
Without immediate intervention, her fate would have been sealed right there in the gutter.

We rushed her to a clinic, and what we found out was heart-wrenching – it was not apparent to us at first but the wound was deeper than any we had seen before. Not only that but she was also anaemic, dehydrated, tick-ridden, and battling blood parasites.

We were unsure if Indy could survive this life-threatening injury. Despite what must have been incredibly painful for her, she still wagged her tail and allowed us to hold and carry her. The vets said they think they can save her – so her treatment begins, and we are hopeful.

Currently, Indy is receiving essential treatment, including IV fluids, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics to alleviate her pain and jumpstart her post-op recovery.

Please donate to help us cover her vet clinic bills and ensure her ongoing care.

Your compassion and support can make all the difference in her journey to recovery.

With gratitude,

BAWA rescued this sweet but scared girl who was living alone scavenging for food. Chronic malnourishment, parasites, fungal and bacterial infections all delayed her body’s healing and recovery. She stayed in the clinic for months until her condition stabilised, and then moved to a BAWA facility for further rehabilitation. One staff member, in particular, would spend time sitting inside Dakota’s crate every day, offering treats and gently encouraging her to trust. This emotional aspect of rehabilitation is often the most intricate and slowest part, but it finally begins to pay off with dedication.

We give everything we can towards an animal’s medical needs, mental health, comfort, exercise, and nutrition, hitting all the pillars of animal care and welfare while preparing them for adoption. The work does not end when the animal is rescued; it is just the beginning and still requires hard work from many different people in many different teams.

Everything that we CAN do is only possible because of you. We need your support now so we can continue providing Dakota with the care she needs.

With gratitude
The BAWA team
