The Syrian Team for Animal Rescue (STAR) has been rescuing injured animals in Damascus, Syria for 4 years with the help from 20 volunteers. Due to the war Syria has witnessed over the past years, there has been an increased number of unwanted animals in residential areas looking for food and safety. STAR is a no-kill shelter for injured and unwanted animals. The organization rescues animals who suffered torture and abuse from people and we provide them with shelter, food, medical care, and most importantly, we give them love and keep them safe. With the help of STAR, many of these animals have been rehabilitated and adopted, however some are left with permanent disabilities such as blindness and missing / paralysed limbs. With no support but from personal donations and crowd funding, STAR faces a challenging situation trying to keep its shelter open. If STAR sanctuary shuts down, not only will those animal return to the streets with no hope of survival, it will also put an end to an effort that has been standing against animal cruelty in the Syrian society.
