Helping Out
We started this because we believe in the cause! We have seen thousands of beautiful stray dogs that have been neglected, abused or cruelly put down simply because there is no one to take care of them. The harsh weather conditions in Kuwait just make it that much harder for dogs to live here.
Together, we can make a difference, a contribution of any kind will make a difference.
Here are some ways in which you can help:
1. Donate to help cover running costs: any
little donation helps
Adopt A Street Princess Shelter has been built from the ground up with now a capacity for over 100 dogs with several different areas for sheltering, playing, grooming, feeding and staff.
Our monthly overheads include farm rent, staff salaries, dog food, medication, vet bills, water tanking, driver and transportation, maintenance of facilities, and so much more.
One area of very high cost is electricity, because as we are based in Kuwait with temperatures reaching 50 Celsius for many months of the year, we very heavily rely on air conditioning units and mist fans. Due to financial constraints, our kennels are primarily built with Kirby metal sheets and steel, and despite insulation, it is not the best for retaining cold air.
Over the years as the shelter has grown we have had to add more distributors and have added 4 electricity boxes that distribute the electricity around the shelter. We currently have over 30 AC units running at the shelter, which consumes a lot of electricity.
As we are based in the desert area of Kuwait, electricity is not subsidised like it is in the city and has a very high cost. Our monthly electricity bills are around 250 - 380 KWD.
2. Donate food & supplies
Our main consumables are rice, canned food, dry food; any brand and any quantities help.
We have special arrangement with some shops so if you prefer, you can donate and we can purchase the food at discounted prices.
For donations we can collect (please whatsapp 69983197 to arrange date/time). Alternatively deliveries can be made to the shelter directly in Kabd or the Sanctuary in Hijen.
Thanks for your care!
