SAI Venezuela: Saving Lives, One Tail at a Time – 6,050 lbs of Food, Sanctuary Upgrades, and a Brighter Future for Dogs in 2023!

By Emanuel Espin | Project Manager

SAI (South American Initiative), a dedicated non-profit, continues its mission to support rescued dogs in Venezuela by providing secure shelter, nourishment, and medical aid. In this image, a brown dog stands curiously near a vibrant flowering plant with pink blossoms, surrounded by lush greenery. Behind the scene, a brick building with an open door and a window reinforces SAI’s commitment to offering animals a safe and welcoming environment. The carefully maintained space reflects the organization’s ongoing efforts to ensure that rescued dogs receive both physical protection and emotional comfort as they recover and find hope.

In Q1 (January, February, March) SAI’s animal rescue program distributed 4,675 Lbs (85 bags) of dog food for the dogs in the SAI-A&G Sanctuary. 1375 lbs (25 bags) of dog food were distributed among the 18 partner shelters that receive SAI-A&G support. Total: 6,050 Lbs of dog food! (110 bags)

 We are saving the lives of dogs because of your generosity!

New upgrades to SAI A&G Sanctuary: The arch has been repainted and restored with a fresh new look! The climate had caused the paint to fade and rust. In addition, we will be renovating the wall and columns around the arch to enhance security and allow for larger dogs to be housed in the front yard of phase 1. 

We are adding flowers along the fence. Growing flowers act as a natural barrier, providing additional security to the property and improving the environment for all the sanctuary's four-legged residents.

Thank you for your continued support, we are changing animal lives together!
