The Nablus clinic, our permanent clinic in the West Bank, opened in the summer of 2012 thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who contributed not only the building cost but the funds to run the centre for the first year.
Since that time the Haven, run by local vet Dr Rakan Salous, has treated more than 200 working donkeys, mules and horses each week. Many have harness wounds, need worming or their teeth or hooves trimming, some have more serious conditions such as tetanus. Those that need to stay a little longer can be kept at the Haven until either they are well enough to return to their owner or if unwanted can be transported to our sanctuary.
