1. In Morocco, Nassima and Rachid have no kibble left for the 80 street dogs they feed. They could be culled at any moment…
“We feed about 80 dogs in and around Essaouira. Right now, they’re getting almost nothing—sad but true. With donations drying up, we can only feed them once a week: chicken heads and feet, some bread… Kibble when we can afford it, but that’s rare.
The dogs bark and fight. As soon as they make too much noise, the neighbors call animal control. In the past few weeks the pound has already come—two people were bitten, so the city rounded up dogs. Every time that happens, it knocks us flat…
Without kibble we can’t protect the dogs—from disease or from complaints. And we can’t take them all into the shelter—we don’t have the space or the money. Saving a dog only to let it waste away makes no sense. As long as we’re short on kibble, our hands are tied… and street dogs pay the highest price.”
2. Poposs has advanced mange and without kibble the tablets don’t work… his life is on the line.
“Poposs showed up a few months ago with a pack. He’s not even a year old, and look at him… he’s terrified. We can’t get close, let alone catch him—he bolts every time. Even feeding him is hard: the other dogs attack him, so I have to follow him, isolate him, and drop some food where he feels safe. And because we’re only there once a week, it’s a disaster for him.
We desperately need kibble for Poposs. First, so he’ll trust us enough to come closer… and above all so he can put weight back on and handle the mange treatment. We’ve given him a few tablets, but they’re useless. Treating an empty stomach doesn’t work and can even make things worse—the meds are strong and, over time, can damage his organs.
Without kibble, everything else we do is pointless: Poposs won’t heal—he might not even survive…”
3. The 70 dogs at the shelter are hungry and fighting… Nassima and Rachid fear things will spiral out of control.
“The shelter is overflowing—70 dogs. We’ve taken in two pregnant females recently; together they had 21 puppies… that’s huge. We just ran out of the last kibble, and we’ve been rationing for a month already: one meal a day, a few kibble mixed with bread and chicken. Their stomachs are never full. Fights keep breaking out, we have to treat wounds… and that means more bills.
Managing the place is a juggling act: we spend our time separating dogs, rearranging enclosures depending on who gets along. We need separate areas for the sick and for puppies, so they don’t catch anything—or spread it.
Beyond all the logistics, it just breaks our hearts—and scares us. We love our dogs and want the best for them. It’s hard to accept that all they really need is… kibble, and things would be so much better.”
4. Debts are piling up, donations are drying up… Nassima and Rachid are pinning everything on this campaign to feed their dogs.
“Donations are no longer enough: it’s always the same people helping, but our needs keep growing. We have few sponsors and struggle to attract new supporters. With the threat of culls, people hesitate… They think it’s a lost cause, so they give up. They don’t want to help Morocco.
We’re already in debt: to the kibble supplier, for chemotherapy, shelter rent, water… This campaign could solve a lot. And above all, it would give real relief to the street dogs—there are far too many; that’s where the situation is worst.
Six neighborhoods are calling for the pound. It’s terrifying! Whenever I know the dogs haven’t eaten, I’m afraid they’ll be rounded up… With kibble, we can help these dogs. We see them alive, calm, healthier. That lifts a huge weight. It’s not just important—it’s vital!”
5. Nassima and Rachid aren’t asking for money, only kibble, so the dogs don’t starve.
“We have a strong bond with every dog we care for, whether in the street or at the shelter; they’re our ‘babies.’ Each visit is pure joy. We’d love to meet their needs without asking for help, but that’s not reality. Our own funds are nowhere near enough, so we rely on donations to keep going.
Today I’m reaching out to anyone who can lend a hand. If you can, spend a day at the shelter—it would help immensely. This mission takes time, patience, and energy. We need manpower, moral support, and of course donations—ideally regular ones. Every gift saves a life: when you give, you help a living being!
Taking part in this campaign lets us keep our dogs alive, feed them and, in turn, treat them, because it frees up part of the budget for medical care. It will really move the shelter forward. By joining in, you give a living soul the chance to experience real life: love, care, a kind environment. That’s all we wish for them.”

8. In Morocco, donors are scarce, and there are no foundations or subsidies. It is very difficult to find funding for kibble, many dogs remain starving in the streets!
