Maimed in Taiwan
We rescue the animals who would otherwise have very little hope—from illegal snares, life-threatening sickness, and extreme danger. Your donation gives them emergency care and a safe home for life.

Rescue sanctuaries in Taiwan
Across Taiwan’s mountains and farmland, illegal wire snares lie in wait. When an animal unwittingly steps into one, the wire snaps violently around their limb and tightens with every struggle. Without rescue, they face 7–10 days of agony before they lose their foot—or worse. For Taiwan’s 141,000 free-roaming dogs, counted in the government’s latest survey, help is desperately needed.
Of the 347 dogs in our care, more than 150 have lost at least one limb to snares—some have lost two or three. These traps are banned to use, but poachers are still able to make or buy them—and cause immeasurable pain and suffering throughout the island.
We rescue, treat, and care for them for life. No matter how severe the injury. No matter how long it takes.
Move the slider to see how your kindness makes a difference for suffering strays like Dalia, who was struggling to survive with terrible skin disease and two paws lost to snares—until StrayKind rescued her and changed her life.
Every gift helps rescue, heal, and care for Taiwan’s most vulnerable strays.
Ringa was just a shy little puppy when we saved his mum and siblings from a dangerous area. But he’s grown into a confident and handsome boy now.
After an attack left him paralysed, Mel went from fearful to fearless. These days, he’s a happy boy who makes sure everyone knows when it’s dinnertime.
Losing three paws to snares has never slowed Ocean down—nor dampened his incredible spirit. His sense of fun always comes in huge waves.
