My name is Olfa, and for years I have dedicated my life to rescuing stray dogs and cats in Tunisia. Every day, I care for about 70 cats in my rented house and 8 dogs in boarding facilities.

 

I also prepare dogs for international adoption, ensuring they are vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, and ready to travel safely. Over the past three years, I have successfully rehomed 9 dogs internationally, and many more before that.

This work comes with many challenges. I cover all veterinary bills, boarding fees, pet food, and the rent for the house where the cats live. Local associations are unable to provide financial help, so I manage a fundraiser to continue supporting these animals.

Each rescued animal is special to me, and I strive every day to give them medical care, shelter, and the chance to find loving homes abroad. Every adoption and every rescued life gives me hope and drives me to keep going.
