REFUGE
The refuge is located in the group of Mudusa, village of Cirhagabwa, 8km from the city of Bukavu. Built, the refuge is spread over one hectare, leaving room for the cattery and dog enclosure.
Often, dogs and cats arrive at the shelter in a deteriorated health and/or emotional state. It is then up to us to put them back on their feet by providing them with the care adapted to each one.
11 employees work full time to take care of the animals.
The shelter generally welcomes around 100 dogs and 40 cats throughout the year.
Each year, no less than 80 dogs and cats find a new family.

Sponsorship
Do you want to sponsor a dog or cat from the shelter?
Do you have a crush on a dog from the shelter but you can't adopt it or be a foster family? You can sponsor it! With 20 € per month you can meet part of his food and veterinary needs. So let your heart speak...
Sponsorship is a more concrete form of financial donation. It allows you to specifically sponsor an animal or a cage.
By becoming godfather or godmother of a dog or a cat from the shelter, you receive information about the animal and we keep you informed of its evolution at the shelter, in particular via a Facebook group.
Sponsoring an animal costs €20 per month.
Sponsoring a cage costs €400 per year.
For more information, do not hesitate to contact au 0995939798 or by email at animalsrdc@gmail.com.
For security and organizational reasons, it is not possible, in normal times, to come and take out the dog you are sponsoring or to be in contact with the chosen cat. We organize one day per year reserved for godfathers and godmothers for this purpose.
