life for dogs in Bulgaria

⚠️ Important Notice: Sensitive Content Ahead

This page contains graphic images and upsetting truths about the treatment of dogs in Bulgaria. We share this content not to cause distress, but to shine a light on the suffering these animals endure — and to show why help is so urgently needed.

Please view with care.
Your compassion and willingness to witness their reality is the first step toward change.

In Bulgaria, street dogs are treated as vermin — chained, abused, poisoned, and forgotten. The pounds they’re thrown into aren’t shelters. There’s no comfort, no care — just cold cages, low-quality kibble tossed on the floor, and dogs left to fight for survival.

This cruelty doesn’t have to continue.

Even a small donation or a simple share can help give these dogs a chance at life. Fostering gets them out of the pounds and into safety. Adopting gives them a second chance at the love they’ve never known.

If you’ve got room in your heart, please consider helping. These dogs have so much love to give — they just need someone to see them.

Break the chains. Be their voice. Change their story.
