Animal SOS Sri Lanka

Rescuing Street Dogs & Cats

 

 

Since 2008, our UK Registered Charity, Animal SOS Sri Lanka, has given thousands of street dogs and cats a second chance at life. Through rescue, lifesaving veterinary care, rehabilitation, safe refuge, spay/neuter programmes, vaccinations, adoption initiatives, and compassionate education, we are transforming the lives of animals that would otherwise face unthinkable suffering.

Transformations Your Support Makes Possible

Every animal we rescue carries a story-often heartbreaking. Many arrive starving, traumatised, and clinging to life. Some are so severely injured they would be euthanized anywhere else.

But at Animal SOS Sri Lanka, we fight for them. With experienced veterinary care, dedicated nurturing, and the chance to heal, we turn suffering into recovery and despair into hope. Thanks to your support, thousands of broken animals have been saved, rehabilitated, and given a future.

Our Mission

We work tirelessly to protect and save animals in desperate need:

• Rescue dogs and cats in critical condition

• Provide quality veterinary care and rehabilitation

• Run a no-kill sanctuary where every life is valued

• Offer safe refuge for disabled, abused, and vulnerable animals who cannot survive on the streets

• Serve a nourishing home-cooked meal daily to all sanctuary animals and around 500 street dogs and   cats - the largest feeding programme in Sri Lanka

• Reduce suffering at its roots through community and sanctuary spay/neuter and vaccination      programmes

• Help protect both humans and animals with rabies-prevention vaccinations

• Inspire compassion through education programmes for the younger generation

• Provide responsible local and international adoption opportunities

Why We Need You

Our sanctuary is home to over 2,200 vulnerable dogs and cats - most of them disabled, abused, or too fragile to survive life on the streets. They depend on us… and we depend on you.

• 50p a day provides one delicious home-cooked meal

• £10 a month helps cover essential daily care for a rescued animal

By becoming a monthly supporter, you help keep the sanctuary running, ensure every resident remains safe in the only home they have ever known, and allow us to save the critical cases that arrive at our gates almost every day. Without support, many of these animals would not survive their greatest hour of need.

Whether you choose ongoing monthly sponsorship or a one-time gift, your compassion turns suffering into second chances.

Save a Life Today

Your kindness saves the animals no one else will help. Your support keeps them fed, safe, loved, and alive.

Donate today - because every life matters.

Adopt a Dog or Cat - Give a Rescue a New Life

Finding a loving forever home is one of the most important parts of animal rescue.

Adoption not only gives a dog or cat the happy ending they so deserve, it also eases the pressure on our sanctuary- freeing space to save other desperate animals who might not survive without our help.

Nothing compares to the comfort of a safe home, a warm sofa, and plenty of tummy rubs.

While many of our residents have special needs and require specialized care, we also have many abandoned puppies who, once sterilized and fully vaccinated, are ready for a fresh start. Your home could be the beginning of their new life. In our experience, rescued animals are some of the most loyal companions -you’ll feel their gratitude every single day.

Our dedicated team is here to guide you through every step of the adoption process, no matter where in the world you are. We make adoption simple, rewarding, and truly unforgettable.

Your next best friend is waiting - start their new chapter today.
