1. In Morocco, Michèle’s 844 shelter dogs will soon have no kibble left. They’ll starve if no one steps in!
“Right now, we’re caring for 844 dogs, spread across two shelters. And soon, we’ll have to take in another hundred dogs and puppies from the local pound… It’s huge. Our numbers are exploding: and so are the food needs. Every single day, we need unimaginable amounts of kibble.
We do call for donations, of course, but support remains low. We do our best with what we have, trying to make sure no one goes without, even if the quality of food isn’t always ideal... Today, we don’t even have a week’s worth of supplies left, and we can’t reorder: our debt to the supplier is just too high.
Winter is coming, and the situation grows more critical every day. The dogs burn more energy, eat more, and the bags empty faster. Every portion matters, every donation too. My biggest fear is not being able to feed them all. Honestly, at this point, I see this campaign as our only hope to avoid the worst…”
2. Badly injured and starving, little Zayn has no chance of recovering without kibble.
“Zayn is a young male, about six months old. He just arrived at the farm. He’s already been through more than any puppy should. Victim of an accident, he lost part of his skull… And as if that wasn’t enough, he’s extremely thin, showing signs of severe malnutrition. His little body is fragile.
He’s a very sweet dog, but still trembling with fear. He freezes when someone approaches too quickly, as if he’s afraid of being hurt again. You can feel he needs time, calm, and care to have any hope of a full recovery.
For him, kibble is vital. He needs it to heal, to regain weight, to get his strength back… This little dog has come such a long way, he can still make it, but only if he can eat enough every single day...”
3. The shelters are full of injured, recovering, and exhausted dogs : without kibble, they don’t stand a chance.
“Right now, our shelters are home to many injured or recovering dogs. Some are slowly healing from surgery, others are still waiting to be operated on or are under heavy treatment. All of them need one essential thing to recover: to eat their fill. Without enough food, medication stops working, wounds don’t heal properly, and weakness sets in.
When kibble runs out, everything deteriorates fast. The dogs lose weight, their immune systems crash, and disease spreads. Those who were getting better relapse, and the frailest ones weaken further. We see it day after day: without proper nutrition, their bodies just give up: even the young ones.
For these dogs, already broken by life, the situation is critical. What they need now is rest, calm, and above all: kibble! Without it, all the care we give them will be in vain…”
4. Crushing debts, falling donations, mounting expenses: the association won’t survive without a surge of solidarity.
In the coming weeks, we’ll have to take in a hundred dogs from the pound. That’s enormous… and it means a chain of new expenses: feeding them, treating them, vaccinating them, even hiring extra staff to care for them. Honestly, I don’t know how we’ll cope financially.
The hardest part is that donations almost never cover these basic needs. People prefer giving for surgeries or specific rescues… but rarely for food or staff salaries. Yet without those, nothing works. We already have a massive debt with our kibble supplier: we can’t order more. Every day we push back the deadline a little longer, hoping for a miracle.
And meanwhile, winter is closing in. We’ll need hundreds of blankets, have to revaccinate all the puppies and adults, and face another wave of expenses. We hope to find homes for the dogs we rescue from the pound, of course… but a hundred dogs, that’s enormous, and nothing’s guaranteed. If this campaign fails, I honestly don’t see how we’ll recover from the blow.”
5. Michèle isn’t asking for money, only kibble, so the dogs don’t starve.
“For over 10 years now, animal welfare has been my whole life. It all started with a small shelter, then gradually, everything grew. When the authorities decided to remove dogs from the streets, even the tagged ones: I made a choice I could never take back: to save them all. Since that day, I’ve carried hundreds of lives on my shoulders, and I’ve never stopped fighting to give them shelter, care, and a chance to exist.
This fight is exhausting, especially after so many years. The fatigue, the debt, the sleepless nights... it all piles up. But every time I look at them, I remember why I keep going. These dogs are my companions, my people! They’ve suffered so much out there that I can’t abandon them now.
I still hold on to hope: that things will change, that awareness will grow. What I do, I don’t do alone: every donation, every bit of help, every bag of kibble keeps me going a little longer. In the end, saving a dog means saving more than just one life, it’s saving a piece of our humanity...”

When a campaign fails, Animal Webaction cannot deliver the products. The beneficiary doesn't receive anything and the buyers are refunded.
8. In Morocco, donors are scarce, and there are no foundations or subsidies. It is very difficult to find funding for kibbles, many dogs remain starving on the street!
