Why it matters

Life on Goa’s streets is brutal for dogs

Street dogs in Goa face hunger, injury, disease, and constant risk. Many are unneutered, so packs grow and suffering multiplies. Without people on the ground, they have almost no chance of help.

We’re a small team working where the dogs live — not from a desk. We catch when needed, arrange neutering and treatment when we can, free them safely back when they’re ready, and keep food coming on regular feeding rounds. Veterinary help is sought as and when it’s needed — not a fixed partnership, just care when a dog is in trouble.

Your money goes straight into food, medicine, surgery, and fuel for the work.

100% for the dogs

Donations fund neutering ops, emergency medical treatment when it’s needed, vaccines and meds, and daily feeding for dogs living rough.

  • Capture, neuter & release
  • Injury & illness treatment as needed
  • Feeding rounds across areas
  • Vet help sought when required

What we do

Three pillars of care on the ground

From first catch to full belly — this is how we help dogs survive and thrive on Goa’s streets.

Capture & Neuter

Real before-and-after from the ground — helpers catch dogs that need it, arrange sterilisation, care for them, then free them when ready. Humane, essential, and how we stop suffering multiplying.

Medical Treatment

When a dog is hurt or ill, we seek help as and when it’s needed — wounds, infections, mange, accidents, and vaccinations to keep disease down. No dog is left to suffer if we can reach them.

Feeding Rounds

Street life is hungry work. Helpers on the ground put out bowls and feed by hand — especially for the sick, young, and elderly who can’t fight for scraps.

About me

Hi, I’m Kay — and this is why I started.

Two years ago I went to Goa on holiday — and I couldn’t unsee the street dogs. Hungry, hurt, ignored. Beautiful souls surviving on the edge of paradise.

What began as compassion on a trip became something I couldn’t leave behind. I stayed connected. I found people who cared as much as I did. And I built a small team on the ground in Goa — real humans who capture, neuter, treat, feed, and free dogs every day. When medical care is needed, we seek veterinary help as and when — not through a formal partnership, just when a dog needs it.

I live in Liverpool and run Save the Dogs in Goa from my home — in my spare time, as a passion. I’m in constant daily contact with the rescuers and feeders I support. This isn’t a distant charity with a big office. It’s me, them, and the dogs — every single day.

Every donation is personal. It becomes bowls of food on a feeding round, medicine for a wound, or a neutering op that stops the next generation of suffering before it starts.

I’m not a big organisation. I’m Kay — one person who refused to look away, with a team in Goa who show up.

Your impact

You can change one dog’s whole world

Behind every amount is a real animal — hungry, hurting, or just waiting for someone to care. Your kindness doesn’t vanish into a fund. It becomes a full bowl, a clean wound, a second chance.

“Some of them have never known a kind hand. The day we feed them, treat them, or bring them back from the edge — you can see it in their eyes. They know someone fought for them.”

£5

Every bit counts

A small gift still matters — helps cover a share of food on a feeding round for a dog who needs it today.

£10

A full belly tonight

Helps put food out on a feeding round — so a hungry dog doesn’t have to scavenge through the night alone.

£25

Ease the pain

Supports meds, wound care, or deworming — small things that can mean the difference between suffering and rest.

£50

A chance to heal

Goes toward a vet visit for injury or illness — because no dog should be left to suffer on the side of a road.

It doesn’t have to be everything. It just has to be something. One gift. One dog. One moment they finally feel safe.

Give with your heart

Amounts are guides — every day is different. We’ll always put your gift where a dog needs it most.
