On International Dog Day, we’re celebrating our companions’ unconditional love and loyalty by shedding light on the role that animal shelters play in their lives. Many shelters in Cairo have done a remarkable job at rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs in need, thus offering them a second chance at life. 

Such shelters often face financial difficulties throughout their noble endeavours and continuously need donations. Here are five shelters that you can donate to on International Dog Day. 

Waha Shelter 

Waha Shelter is a non-governmental organisation that rescues and rehabilitates animals and allows them to find new homes by putting them up for adoption. It saves street and abandoned cats and dogs from abuse and illness, providing them with a better quality of life.
