🚨 The Silent Victims of Evictions 🚨 In March 2024, a small group of animal lovers and property management professionals came together to form The Xena Project NTX. Our mission: to rescue and advocate for the countless animals abandoned in apartment homes and communities. As the economy struggles, evictions are skyrocketing, leaving behind not just empty apartments, but countless innocent pets. These animals are left to fend for themselves, abandoned in places they once called home. Their cries for help echo through empty hallways, their once wagging tails now still with fear and confusion. These silent victims suffer from neglect, hunger, and the heartbreak of losing their families. Each abandoned animal is a soul yearning for love and care, a tragic reminder of the unseen consequences of economic hardship. We at The Xena Project NTX are committed to rescuing these forgotten animals, giving them a second chance at life and love. But we can't do it alone. We need your support to continue this crucial work. Every donation, every share, every moment of your time can make a difference. Together, we can be the voice for the voiceless, the hope for the hopeless. Join us in our mission to save these precious lives. Let's ensure that no animal is left behind, no matter the circumstances. #TheXenaProjectNTX #SilentVictims #RescueMission #housingcrisis #EvictionCrisis #AnimalAdvocates #NoAnimalLeftBehind

Did you know that approximately 35% of the world's dogs and cats are homeless? 😢 Sadly, recent world conflicts and natural disasters have only increased the number of displaced animals in need. On International Homeless Animals Day, we want to shine a light on the millions of animals around the world who face life without a home Every animal dreams of a warm, loving home, and we want to make that a reality for as many as possible. But we can't do it alone… You can help us save more precious lives by: - Making a donation: your donations are lifesaving, no matter how big or small! - (if you live in Sweden, Switzerland or UK where ROLDA has teams to coordinate and supervise adoptions) or fostering (if you live in the UK): by adopting or fostering, you're saving two lives—giving an animal a second chance and creating space in our shelters to save another. Visit ROLDA website to help us make a difference #homeless #animals #home #givehope #foster #secondchance #adoptions #rescue #savelives

National Rescue Dog Day, observed on May 20th, highlights rescue dogs' incredible impact on our lives. These resilient and loving animals are looking for their forever homes, and today is the perfect opportunity to support their journeys. How You Can Make a Difference: - Adopt: Welcome a rescue dog into your home and change a life. - Foster: Provide temporary care. - Volunteer: Offer your time and skills at local shelters and animal rescue organizations. - Donate: Contribute funds or supplies to support rescue organizations. Rescue dogs bring joy, loyalty, and love. Let's honor their spirit by taking action and spreading awareness. Share your rescue dog stories and inspire others to make a difference.

As April marks National Stress Awareness Month, we want to shed light on the immense challenges faced by front-line rescue workers. The theme for 2024 is #LittleByLittle, which highlights the transformative impact of consistent, small positive actions can have. Recently, we introduced you to Oriana Samuelsen, a firefighter whose journey took her from the highways of Washington State to the streets of Iraq, where she encountered the brave street dog, Big Girl, and her pack. Oriana's journey led her to WarPaws, where she continues to care for these vulnerable animals, despite the inevitable heartaches. Witnessing cruelty and neglect takes its toll, compounded by the constant financial struggles of running an animal rescue shelter. However, through awareness and support, we can make a difference. Ultimately, the work of small rescue groups and charities is about more than just saving individual dogs. It's about creating a world in which animals are valued and respected and in which their welfare is protected. We believe that by working together and supporting these organisations, we can make this vision a reality and create a better world for all animals. If you're looking for a way to make a difference, consider donating to The Power of One today. Your support can help us continue to provide vital resources and support for the amazing rescue workers. Donate here: https://shor.by/d62v Together, we can make a world of difference, one small step at a time. 🐾 #PowerOfOne #StressAwarenessMonth #LittleByLittle #AnimalWelfare #RescueHeroes #WarPaws

Let's help stray dogs find their forever homes ❤️ Many stray dogs in our communities walk the streets alone, searching for food and shelter. These pups deserve love and care just like any other pet. - Offer food and water: Leaving out a bowl of fresh water and some dog food can make a big difference for a hungry pup. - Provide shelter: If possible, create a makeshift shelter out of cardboard or a blanket to offer them a safe haven. - Spread the word: If you see a friendly stray dog, take a picture and post it on social media with the #FindAFureverHomeForStrays hashtag. This can help connect the dog with a loving family. - Support animal shelters: Shelters play a vital role in rescuing and caring for stray dogs. Consider donating or volunteering your time to a local shelter. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of stray dogs. Let's work towards a world where every dog has a loving home #CompassionForAnimals #StraysDeserveLoveToo #BeTheChange

The devastation from Helene is far worse than most realize. Whole cities and towns in the Southeast have been destroyed. No food, water or communication. If you are able, help in any way you can. If not monetarily, go through your closets and see if you have any clothing, bedding, baby items, toiletries, etc., that you can spare. Look for drop off locations in your area. And don't forget the animals. Pet food and supplies are desperately needed too. Many people will go without just to make sure their pets are fed and safely secured. A few trustworthy organizations accepting donations include: 1) Operation Airdrop www.Operation-Airdrop.com 2) Samaritans Purse www.SamaritansPurse.org 3) The Salvation Army www.SalvationArmyUSA.org 4) Check for animal rescues traveling to devastated areas. Areas needing help are Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia. #hurricanes #helene #survival #rescue #support
