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
