🌿 The ARK Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation — Charity Walk (Windhoek)

🌟 Why Your Support Matters
The ARK continuously deals with heartbreaking cases — starvation, wounds, disease, abandoned puppies, and animals needing urgent medical care. Sterilisation is another major expense, helping to prevent future suffering.
Even the smallest contribution helps:
a warm bed, a full tummy, medication, or simply a safe place for an animal in distress.
Booking essential: 081 680 5619
Let’s walk together, enjoy nature, and support The ARK in giving vulnerable animals a second chance. 💛🐾
