A huge thank you to our Ambassador Jack McGann for taking Power of One to new heights….. quite literally. Jack recently completed a 15,000 ft parachute jump, raising awareness for the work we do to support animal rescue shelters across the globe.
This month we were inspired by our friends at HAART and Koru, who showed how education can shape the future of animal welfare through their incredible work on #RhinoArt with children in South Africa.
A heartfelt thank you to Kathy Griffiths, also known as Cumbria Cate.
Since 2016, Kathy has been using her love of sewing to create beautiful handmade hessian baskets, donating them to help raise vital funds for animal rescues both here in the UK and overseas.
In recent weeks, WarPaws has faced one of the toughest battles imaginable: keeping their dogs alive in a relentless heatwave. With temperatures soaring above 50°C, the risks are extreme. Despite constant care, the team fears that in the coming days, some dogs may not survive.
On 19th August, hundreds of people gathered in Ajmer, Rajasthan, to walk in silence. Not out of indifference, but out of love. Animal lovers of every age and background joined together to march peacefully for India’s stray dogs.
HAART’s Outreach Health Clinic is a lifeline for two remote villages in rural South Africa, where dogs would otherwise have no access to healthcare. This is not about turning up once a month with vaccines. It is about being present, reliable, and committed to animals and the people who care for them.
In Northern Iraq, the desert heat is not just uncomfortable. It is life-threatening. Temperatures regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius, and for thousands of free-roaming dogs, there is no access to clean, reliable water. There are no taps. No shade. No reprieve.
Severe flooding has hit TOLFA, an animal rescue organisation based in rural Rajasthan, India. As the rain poured and water levels surged, staff carried paralysed dogs through rising floodwaters. They worked around the clock to move every animal to safety, without hesitation and without thought for themselves.
Our friends at Jai Dog Rescue recently received a heartbreaking call. In a quiet rural village in Thailand, the cries of newborn puppies were heard coming from beneath a home. Their mother had crawled into a small cavity under a concrete slab to give birth. It was a hidden, sheltered spot. But she never came back out. She had been poisoned, leaving her tiny pups behind, defenceless in the dark.
At the start of July, we received the sad news from Sam at HAART that Hope had passed away. Hope was not just a rescue dog. She was the inspiration behind HAART itself. Her story is not only central to the organisation’s beginnings but also to the values it continues to uphold: compassion, resilience, and the belief that one life can make a difference.
Nature doesn’t give us time to prepare. It doesn’t pause to ask if we’re ready. It just comes. For the team at War Paws, it came in the form of a sudden tornado, tearing through their shelter in under two minutes.
In the quiet village of Borovtsi, Bulgaria, three female street dogs have just been spayed.
Thanks to the ongoing work of MiaPlus7, these dogs have been spared the exhaustion of pregnancy, the suffering of life on the streets, and the heartbreak of watching their puppies face the same.
