Funding An Effective Solution
Funding An Effective Solution
Over three quarters of the world’s dogs are strays. Many countries seek to control stray dog populations through ‘culling’. This takes different forms – from gassing and shooting, to poisoning, hanging and starvation. Dogs are slaughtered in their thousands.
Such actions are both senselessly cruel, and woefully ineffective. The number of strays continues to rise and – unsterilised and unvaccinated – the problem is compounded. Mass-slaughter is not solving anything.
Instead, we need a more constructive, compassionate response. Wild at Heart Foundation have implemented sterilisation initiatives all over the world. We fund existing spay and neuter campaigns, with a particular focus on countries where animal cruelty is rife and have established our own high-volume sterilisation projects. To date, Wild at Heart Foundation have sterilised tens of thousands of dogs, preventing the birth of some 200 million unwanted puppies.
Help us do even more. Please make a donation today.

Allocating Funds
We’re careful to allocate funding to areas of greatest need and impact to ensure your donation stretches as far as possible. Working alongside trusted organisations, we use your donations to support truly life-changing global rescue, welfare, sterilisation, education and awareness campaigns.
We are a small (but mighty!) charity, and make every effort to keep our overheads to a minimum: working remotely ensures we don’t pay large monthly rent or operating bills; expenditure is carefully considered and approved by a board of trustees; and salaries and travel expenses are supported by the generosity of a number of private and corporate donors, including our founder’s organisation, Nikki Tibbles Wild at Heart.
Thank You
We are so incredibly grateful for each and every person who takes the time to engage with our cause and share a donation. However little or large, donating whatever you can spare is an incredibly generous thing to do.
Your compassion means the world to us, and – more importantly – to the stray dogs your donation will help. We’d like to extend a huge heartfelt thank you on their behalf!
From all the team at Wild at Heart Foundation, thank you x
