What Your Adoption Funds

Monthly adoptions are pooled into WARN's street dog programmes and granted to vetted in-country partners.

🐕

CNVR Clinics

Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return is the evidence-based alternative to culling. Your adoption helps fund clinic days that treat dogs where they live.

💉

Rabies Vaccination

Every dog vaccinated protects both the animal and the community. Your gift covers the cost of rabies shots for multiple street dogs.

🏠

Shelter Capacity

Injured, orphaned and at-risk dogs need short-term shelter before return or local rehoming. Your adoption helps partners expand that capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adopt a dog to take home?
WARN symbolic dog adoptions do not place a pet in your home. They fund street dog rescue abroad — CNVR clinics, rabies vaccination and shelter care. If you want a dog to rehome locally, contact a registered shelter or rescue in your area.
What does adopting a street dog through WARN fund?
Your monthly adoption is pooled into WARN's street dog programmes and granted to vetted partners — funding humane Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return clinics, rabies vaccination, wound care and shelter capacity in cities such as Karachi.
Why adopt a dog symbolically instead of locally?
Many supporters want to help dogs but cannot rehome a pet right now. Symbolic adoption lets you support dogs facing culling, disease and neglect abroad while local shelters handle in-country rehoming.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Email [email protected] and we will cancel your monthly adoption within two working days, with no penalty.
