About us · Ambatofotsy, Antananarivo
Who we are
Gasy Animal Aid is a Malagasy non-profit that rescues, cares for and rehomes street animals. We speak up for animals.
Our history
From a Facebook page to an organization
In 2018, several people who shared the same passion for animals met on Facebook and created a page to help them. Before long, a steady stream of messages was alerting them to dogs in distress, on roadsides and in neighbourhoods alike.
Faced with the scale of the need, the collective grew more organized. In June 2019, it was officially recognized as a non-profit organization under the name Gasy Animal Aid.
Our missions
Protect and bring help
The organization has set itself two missions, which guide everything we do day to day.
- Promote the protection and rescue of animals and the fight against mistreatment, neglect and cruelty in all its forms.
- Bring help to animals in distress, mistreated or abandoned.
This help is open to everyone: you do not need to be a member of the organization to report an animal in danger to us.
What we do
Our work, from rescue to adoption
A shelter
We take in abandoned animals at our shelter, where they are fed, cared for and prepared for a new life.
Advice for owners
We advise and support pet owners who need it, so they can better care for their companions.
Help for families in need
We help with the feeding and care of animals belonging to families in need, so that none is left behind.
Care and neutering
Every animal receives the veterinary care its condition requires, and we neuter the shelter's residents.
Adoption
Once they have recovered, our rescues are offered for adoption to new families, to give them a lasting home.
The shelter
A home for around twenty dogs
Gasy Animal Aid runs a small shelter that is currently home to around twenty adult dogs as well as several puppies. All of them were taken in injured, sick or abandoned.
Each resident finds shelter, regular food and the care they need, for as long as it takes to recover and find a family.
Our governance
An organization driven by its volunteers
Gasy Animal Aid is led by a president and a treasurer, supported by dedicated volunteers. Together, they carry out the rescues, run the shelter and follow up on every animal taken in.
