How We Help

How we help

At the Humane Society of Morocco, our commitment to animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. We provide a comprehensive range of services to ensure the well-being of animals in our care. From rescue operations to medical treatment and rehabilitation, our dedicated team works tirelessly to give each animal a second chance at life.

We focus on rescuing stray, abandoned, and mistreated animals, offering them the medical care and love they need to recover. Our rehabilitation programs are designed to help animals regain their health and trust, preparing them for adoption into loving forever homes.

Through community outreach and education, we also strive to promote responsible pet ownership and raise awareness about animal welfare issues. By working together with our supporters, we can create a better future for animals in Morocco.

Emergency

Below are the types of emergencies we encounter daily:

  • Animals displaying the signs of infection or disease.
  • Animals involved in road traffic accidents.
  • Animals involved in street disturbances with other animals.
  • Animals who are displaying unsociable or dangerous behaviors towards humans.
  • Neglected, abused, or abandoned animals.

 
The average cost of veterinary treatments lies around $300.00 for emergency care, surgeries like amputations, and X-Rays, etc.

Vaccinations

Preventing the spread of disease is just as important as taking in sick, injured, or vulnerable animals.

We provide vaccinations to street animals to reduce the risk of spreading potentially fatal diseases such as Rabies to other animals or to humans.

Vaccinating street animals in their territory ensures that the animals that inhabit each territory are safe & disease-free.

These animals then protect the territory from other street animals who are not vaccinated which could be potentially unhealthy or dangerous.

Neutering

There are over 1-3 million stray dogs in Morocco.

With no government-funded neutering program currently in place, the population continues to expand. Neutering street animals is a safe, effective, tried & tested method to control overpopulation. Neutering also significantly reduces the risk of disease spreading & the development of other potentially life-threatening conditions, such as sexually transmitted cancers, from occurring.

Neutering in conjunction with vaccinations ensures that the street animal population is safehealthy & protected.

Animals who have been vaccinated & neutered can be identified by a tag on their ears.

General welfare

The unfortunate reality of our cause, is that as much as we would like to be able to take every sick stray animal from the street, we are unable to take them all.

We provide medical assistance to street animals who may require emergency assistance, medication or long term care. Treating animals, that are not emergencies on the street, frees up valuable space in our shelter for us to be able to take on more emergencies. We work with local businesses, individuals & other community projects to be able to provide them with the tools & education to be able to care for animals in & around their local areas. 

HSM IS EXPANDING

HUMANE SANCTUARIES PROJECT IN MOROCCO

HSM Humane Sanctuaries of Morocco

The purpose of the HSM Humane Sanctuaries of Morocco project is to implement a nationwide sanctuary where animals who need respite & recovery will be roaming, not locked up in a cage as in shelters.

COMMUNITY ANIMAL CARE PROGRAM

Irhamna Project

The aim of our program is to educate the Moroccans about animal welfare. Community awareness, knowledge, and community members’ perception of human and animal health are key factors.

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

The HSM American Angels

We are looking for US & Canada based teams of dog lovers who will help us find new homes in North America.
