Faithful Friends of Armenia
The streets of Armenia are packed with stray animals, and a vast majority of them either
contract illnesses that can be contagious and possibly fatal, or they pass away due to extreme
cases of starvation. This is the sad reality and the ugly truth of the situation that surrounds us, the
situation that needs immediate attention. We at the DINGO team, which is a non-governmental
organization in Armenia with a principal aim to provide urgent assistance to stray animals, are
attempting to solve these issues as best we can. We are currently developing a new project, for
the realization of which we need appropriate funding. The project includes the establishment of a
new shelter home for the stray animals, with proper cages and sufficient food to provide the
animals with. We need housing for our animals, because right now most of our volunteers
provide these animals with shelter in their homes, but their space is very limited. The
establishment of an appropriate animal shelter will guarantee that our animals will get proper
housing and adequate food that they need for survival, and it will also make potential adopters
more willing to adopt pets, if they see the immaculateness of the animals’ living conditions. For
the creation of this project, we are asking for a three thousand dollar grant as that sum of money
will help us meet our objective and provide stray animals with shelter and food. A quarter of that
money will be utilized for the medical requirements of the animals, such as sterilization and
vaccination, whereas the rest will be used to create the new shelter home. And that is why we are
asking for your generous financial support, because after all, you are named Friends of Armenia,
