Why we need your support now?
It takes approximately 590,000 TL (~11,000 USD) per year to run the farmhouse -excluding the emergencies.
When this started in 2023, a 15kg bag of kibble cost around 650 TL. Today, even a budget-friendly local option is 1655 TL.
For over 3 years, everything here has been sustained by a single private supporter — my mother.
With the current economic reality, this is no longer sustainable.
Additionally, adoption hasn’t been a reliable solution. So instead of scaling down the dogs or cats, the system had to change.
This is where the sponsorship system comes in.
You don’t have to adopt. (Although that would be a dream come true for the kids and me)
You don’t have to take responsibility for a dog’s daily life.
But you can make sure they’re cared for.
Important note: The support goes directly to food, vet care, and parasite control. No donation is used for utility costs such as rent, bills, or salary.
Sponsorship options
The average monthly food cost for one resident is approximately 1,700 TL. Each dog eats roughly one 15 kg bag of kibble per month. We feed a mix of BonaCibo and Kucho, depending on availability and price.
The routine yearly veterinary care includes annual vaccinations, rabies vaccination, deworming, and parasite prevention. This varies depending on the dog's size.
The estimates below include routine veterinary care and monthly feeding cost. They do not include individual medical conditions, ongoing medication, supplements, prescription diets, or emergency treatment.
Estimated monthly sponsorship:
Small-sized dog (20kg) → ~2,250 TL per month
Medium-sized dog (30kg) → ~2,500 TL per month
Large-sized (40kg) → ~2,750 TL per month
XL-sized / Giant (60 kg) → ~3,050 TL per month

We are not a registered NGO yet. I’m currently working on it. Right now, this is run independently by me.
Chaos reigns in the farmhouse, 24/7. Therefore, I might not always be able to answer your questions or inquiries in a timely manner, but rest assured that I will.
Your suggestions are always welcome when shared with respect and kindness. This is a platform for learning.
If you’re unsure, please take your time.
