The following is a photo inventory of dogs currently in TARC's care in Azemmour.
Morocco does not, thankfully, have a municipal animal sheltering system in place, nor does it need one. TARC believes the issue of stray pets can be dealt with through aggressive TNR programs and feral colony management. Street dogs and cats do well in most communities, as locals feed them and look after them. The very young animals, though, as well as nursing mothers and cats/dogs with physical disabilities, may need a little more care. Right now we have fourteen dogs and puppies and sixteen cats and kittens in our program awaiting sterilization and release or return to owners.

Those puppies are growing! What sweethearts. You're doing a great job. Hang in there!
Day by day, calamity by calamity... LOL
I'm still planning to fly the pups into Canada later this year if the pandemic doesn't resurge. It's going to be a major undertaking. Wish me luck!
Nawwww lookit the puppiiieeeeeeeesssssssss XD
Fell off the roof?! D:
Yeah... dogs are kept on terraces here because there are so few yards. We keep ours on the terrace, too, but have installed a wire barrier around the edges.
Ahh that makes more sense now. Poor pupper that fell :<
