Donate
Your donation, no matter the amount, goes directly towards bringing peace to the dogs in our care. If you have a specific item you would like to donate towards – food or medicine for example, please specify this in the notes with your transaction or contact us directly.
Sponsor
You can support a dog at TMTRD for as little as one dollar per day. When you sponsor a dog, you’ll stay informed with regular updates about the TMTRD dog you’re supporting. Your sponsorship allows us to continue the important work we do.
Adopt
Adopting a rescue dog is one of the most rewarding experiences for both the dog and you – the future doggy parent. We will work with you to make sure you find the best dog that suits your lifestyle and family needs.
TMTRD Clinic
It is more important for the animals in our community to be spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy than it is to turn a profit. That’s why the TMTRD clinic offers greatly reduced pricing only to cover the clinic’s operating costs.
We have three skilled veterinarians who provide a variety of services such as spaying and neutering, vaccinations, and dental cleanings.
Our clinic serves to ensure affordable and quality care for the animals in our community.
To book an appointment please send us a message.
Donations
We rely entirely on donations and sponsorships to help the sick, neglected, and abused dogs in our care. All of thr dogs we rescue are medicated, vaccinated, and sterilized. We also rehabilitate, socialize, and attempt to rehome the dogs in our care as well. But we can’t do it alone.
With your help, we can do better.
Quarantine Section
The Quarantine Section looks after dogs with serious viruses and diseases that are under observation and medication, as well as new admissions to The Sanctuary that are going through their vaccination course. All newly rescued dogs are vaccinated, spayed and neutered and will spend approximately one month in the Quarantine Section before they can be safely introduced to the other dogs. The Quarantine Section is housed 10 meters apart from the rest of The Sanctuary in order to prevent the spread of viruses & diseases. All staff must disinfect themselves on entry & exit from this area for the same reasons
Spay & Neutering
Spay and neutering is an essential part of the work that we do with our local community to help control the stray dog population. Lack of awareness of this procedure and its benefits are the root causes of this problem and one we are on a mission to correct this. We work closely with the municipality to catch, spay, neuter, and release the unsterilized dogs in our community. We also spay and neuter dogs every day at our clinic.
Dogs in the Care Unit
The Care Center was established in 2016. It shelters many sick, old, paralyzed and dogs with special needs. There are 10 staff members caring for these dogs 24 /7. Currently, with 110+ dogs in their care, duties include walks twice a day, supervised water therapy and Dog Physiotherapy for those with special needs, cleaning wounds daily to prevent infections, administering and keeping track of their medications and most importantly socializing them so we can bring the dogs one step closer to finding a forever home.
