1. In Morocco, Karim is running out of kibble to feed the 120 dogs in his shelter. They will starve if no one steps in to help!
"Over the past few weeks, we’ve had to rescue many street dogs due to the roundups organized by the municipality. We took them in and brought them to the shelter, but most of them are in terrible condition: fractures, bruises, sprains… And of course, more dogs at the shelter mean more needs—more food, more medical care. Right now, we have barely fifteen bags of kibble left. That’s only enough for three or four days, no more!
We’ve already been rationing portions for a week, trying to stretch them out to make them last a bit longer. But it’s not enough. The dogs are hungry, and we can see the effects: some are getting sick, with more cases of diarrhea. And then there’s the aggression—it’s increasing. They fight over food; they’re just trying to survive. They’re starving; they just want to eat, that’s all...
We keep three to ten dogs per enclosure. We do our best to pair them well and anticipate conflicts, but hunger overwhelms everything. They’re at their breaking point. Honestly, what terrifies me the most is the thought that we might have to release some dogs back onto the streets just to prevent fights at the shelter... That would be unbearable."
2. Mask is permanently paralyzed; the shelter is his only chance... Every piece of kibble is essential for his survival.
"Mask is a young dog who’s been with us at the shelter for two months now. We found him on the road to Tahanaout after he was hit by a vehicle. The impact was devastating—he’s paralyzed.
Unfortunately, he’ll probably remain paralyzed for life. We’re doing everything we can, trying to work on his rehabilitation in the hope of some improvement, but so far, there hasn’t been much progress. Right now, what he needs most is food, to regain strength and keep going. It’s vital for him."
3. On the streets, a hundred dogs rely on the association: the kibble shortage is putting their lives at risk!
"We take care of about a hundred street dogs, and they’re also suffering from the kibble shortage. Every time we have to cut back on our distributions, their survival is at risk. They have no choice but to scavenge in the trash, which exposes them to parasites and diseases. And then there are the fights—for scraps of food or to steal from another dog, they become aggressive.
These fights leave marks: injuries to their ears, their eyes… It’s obvious. And when these dogs become a problem in their neighborhoods, the municipality steps in. Then it’s off to the pound… and we know what happens next. It’s a vicious cycle. From every angle, if we can’t feed them, these dogs are doomed!"
4. Overwhelmed by the loss of a major donor and growing debts, Karim can no longer feed the dogs.
"Our financial situation has become catastrophic. We lost a major donor who used to cover 50% of our expenses. This loss has forced us to rethink everything. We’ve had to turn down rescues, postpone surgeries… We’ve also had to cut back on sterilizations. Everything is being scaled back.
Our debts are piling up—overdue bills with the kibble supplier, canned food, treats… It’s the same for antiparasitic treatments and anesthetics; we’re in the red. It’s so frustrating. When I first got involved, I thought food would be the easiest thing to secure. But no—it’s our biggest expense, and every month, we face the same anxiety, the same question: Will we be able to feed our dogs?
Without a stable food supply, we have no flexibility. We can’t plan long-term or launch sustainable programs. We’re always in crisis mode. Yet our goal is to focus on rescues, sterilizations, surgeries… But with an unstable supply chain, everything grinds to a halt. Morally, it’s exhausting. I have to keep going because these animals have no one else. But I’m worn out."
5. Karim isn’t asking for money, only kibble to prevent the dogs from starving.
"What motivated me to get involved in animal protection was the condition of the animals here. In Morocco, you just have to walk down the street to see how urgent the situation is. You see stray cats ravaged by infections, injured dogs, animals hit by cars left with no help. It’s something you can’t ignore once you’ve seen it.
At first, I started by helping out with a local association. But very quickly, I realized I wanted to do more. That’s how "L'Arche de Noé" was born in 2015. Today, our actions are starting to make a real difference.
We rescue animals from the streets, raise awareness on social media and in the field. We care for the injured because here, there’s no emergency service for them. The solutions are brutal: either let them die or eliminate them. That’s why what we’re doing is so essential. Every day, we save lives that would have no chance without us."

8. In Morocco, donors are scarce, and there are no foundations or subsidies . It is very difficult to find funding for kibbles, many dogs remain starving on the street!
