Guide 1

Who This Donation Helps

This route is for donors who care about companion animals but want their gift to reach countries where street dogs, community cats and animals caught in the dog and cat meat trade face severe welfare gaps.

Guide 2

What Your Gift Funds

Support can fund CNVR for street dogs, rabies vaccination, spay/neuter for cats, emergency treatment, quarantine after rescue, shelter recovery space and education that reduces cruelty and fear.

Guide 3

Why WARN Uses Partner Grants

WARN aims to raise support for vetted local partners rather than running its own shelters. Gifts receipt; give at donate or on a named appeal. Legal identity: registration status.

Guide 4

One Donation, Multiple Pathways

UK donors can give generally at donate so WARN allocates to greatest need, or direct gifts to Karachi street-dog appeal for street dogs, dog and cat meat trade appeal for meat-trade rescue or adopt a dog and adopt a cat for symbolic monthly adoption from £5.

Guide 5

Why Partner Grants Beat Overseas Rehoming

Shipping individual pets to the UK is expensive, stressful and cannot solve population-scale problems. The country guides describe welfare issues and places; they do not establish funded WARN operations.

Street Dog

An estimated 200 million street dogs live worldwide; they are the same species as pet dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and WHO-endorsed Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return programmes are the proven humane way to reduce their numbers and control rabies, whereas culling does not work.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia’s forests, islands and coasts support remarkable wildlife, including all three orangutan species. Animal welfare and conservation needs differ between Kalimantan, Sumatra and the wider archipelago.

Country programme

Vietnam

Vietnam’s forests, rivers and coasts face habitat and wildlife-trade pressures. Animal care after confiscation and longer-term habitat protection are related needs with different responsibilities.

Country programme

Cambodia

Cambodia’s forests, freshwater systems and coasts support wildlife and local livelihoods. Useful conservation support should connect animal welfare with protection of the habitats on which animals depend.

Country programme

Pakistan

Pakistan has distinct animal welfare needs in cities, working-animal communities and wildlife habitats. Karachi street dogs are the focus of a WARN appeal; a country guide is not evidence of an operating WARN clinic.

Country programme

India

India has diverse wildlife habitats and substantial companion-animal and working-animal welfare needs. Local law, professional expertise and the animal’s circumstances shape an appropriate response.

Country programme

Philippines

The Philippines’ islands, forests and marine habitats support distinctive wildlife alongside community animals. Location and species are essential when deciding who can help.

Donate to Help Dogs and Cats Abroad: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I donate from the UK?
Yes. UK supporters can donate to WARN, but WARN is a registered global not-for-profit and cannot claim Gift Aid because it is not a registered charity.
Can I choose dogs or cats specifically?
You can ask to support a specific appeal such as Karachi street dogs or dog and cat meat trade rescue, or give generally for companion animal welfare abroad.
What happens after I email to donate?
WARN replies with giving details, allocation information and receipt information so you know how your support will be handled.
What is the best way to donate to help dogs and cats abroad?
Choose the programme matching your priority — street dogs, meat-trade rescue or community cats — or give generally at donate.
Can I split a donation between dogs and cats?
Email WARN after donating to request allocation, or give two smaller gifts to specific appeals.
Is monthly giving better for dogs and cats abroad?
Yes — recurring income lets partners plan multi-year CNVR and TNVR coverage. See monthly donation animal rescue.
Does WARN rehome dogs and cats to the UK?
No. WARN aims to raise support for partner-led welfare in situ — the highest-impact model for population-scale problems.
How can I check whether WARN has paid a grant?
Read /about/where-your-money-goes/#grant-register for published recipient, approval and payment records. A reconciled financial summary and individual grant records have not yet been published here. This is a reporting status, not a statement that income, expenditure or grants are zero. Contact WARN for information about your gift.
