Our Mission
Committed to Saving and Rehoming Abandoned Pets
At Lusaka Animal Welfare Society, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned and neglected animals. We are dedicated to giving every pet a second chance at life, providing them with the care, love, and support they deserve. By working with our community and passionate volunteers, we strive to create a future where every animal has a safe and loving home. Together, we can make a difference.
Rescue
Our mission starts with rescue. We work tirelessly to save animals in need, providing immediate care and a safe haven for pets who have been abandoned, mistreated, or lost. Every rescue is a step toward a brighter future for these vulnerable animals.
Rehabilitate
Healing takes time and care. At our shelter, animals receive the medical attention, nourishment, and emotional support they need to recover and thrive. Through rehabilitation, we restore their trust in people and prepare them for the next chapter of their lives.
Rehome
Every animal deserves a loving home. We match our rescued pets with compassionate adopters, ensuring they find the perfect families. Our goal is to create lifelong connections that bring joy to both the animals and their new owners.
