In Tbilisi alone, official counts put around 30,000 + street dogs. but in Tbilisi dogs are well feed (sometimes over feed). dogs outside of Tbilisi are starving. We often go on tours and meet them, pet them and feed them with our own funds, but we don’t have much to give. This is the donation link we created for those who want’s to help us!

As many of you may have noticed, we always keep a bag of dog food in the trunk to feed stray dogs we encounter. Most of these dogs live in difficult conditions, particularly in rural areas, on the streets, or along hiking trails. We’ve made it a habit to feed them whenever we can. If any of you would like to join us in this effort, we’d be grateful for your support in helping us keep food on hand, so we’re always prepared to care for our furry friends.
