Join GoMoroccoTour Animal Aid in Protecting Street Animals and Promoting Compassion
“As Morocco prepares to welcome the world for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the nation’s cities are transforming — new stadiums rise, roads are renewed, and tourism shines brighter than ever. Yet, behind this celebration lies a quiet crisis: the fate of thousands of stray dogs Morocco and cats that roam our streets, villages, and beaches, now facing uncertainty in the rush to impress the world.”
For decades, Morocco’s street animals have been part of the country’s everyday life — playful cats lounging in medinas, loyal dogs guarding markets, gentle companions following tourists through Marrakech, Essaouira, or Chefchaouen. But now, with the world’s spotlight turning toward Morocco, these animals face growing danger.
⚠️ A Hidden Crisis Behind the World Cup Preparations
In recent months, animal welfare groups have raised alarms about the increased capture and killing of stray dogs in several Moroccan cities. Reports suggest that some local authorities see these animals as a “problem to remove” before the World Cup to project a clean image for visitors.
While public safety and disease prevention (especially rabies) are legitimate concerns, many experts and charities insist there’s a better, more humane solution — one based on compassion, vaccination, and sterilization, not cruelty.
Morocco’s government has publicly stated its intention to shift toward a humane Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) approach. However, implementing such programs nationwide requires massive logistical effort and funding. Without immediate support, thousands of innocent animals risk being caught and destroyed before the world arrives.
🐶 Why Morocco’s Stray Animals Matter
Stray dogs and cats are not pests — they are living beings shaped by the culture and kindness of Moroccan society.
They protect neighborhoods, greet tourists, and help control pests. More importantly, they reflect how a nation treats its voiceless.
Saving them is not just about animal welfare — it’s about showing the world Morocco’s compassion, ethics, and progress as it steps onto the global stage.
Each sterilized and vaccinated dog means fewer rabies cases, fewer bites, and safer communities. Each adopted cat means one less hungry life on the streets. Every donation means hope.
❤️ Introducing GoMoroccoTour Animal Aid
GoMoroccoTour Animal Aid is a new initiative created by compassionate guides, travelers, and volunteers who believe Morocco’s beauty includes every living soul — human or animal.
Our mission is simple:
To protect, feed, and heal Morocco’s stray animals through community-driven charity, medical care, and education.
We stand for humane treatment, zero killing, and long-term TNVR programs (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return).
🏥 Our Focus Areas
- Emergency rescue and treatment: Provide immediate veterinary care for injured or poisoned animals.
- Sterilization & vaccination campaigns: Partner with local vets to manage stray populations safely.
- Feeding & hydration stations: Install food and water points in tourist zones and rural areas.
- Education & awareness: Teach locals and visitors compassion and safe coexistence with animals.
- Adoption & foster programs: Help strays find forever homes in Morocco and abroad.
🏆 The World Cup: A Moment for Humanity
As the 2030 World Cup approaches, Morocco has the chance to showcase not only its legendary hospitality but also its moral leadership.
The world’s cameras will capture the beauty of Marrakesh, Rabat, Casablanca, and Tangier — but they will also capture how we treat our street dogs and cats.
Imagine a Morocco where sterilized, tagged dogs roam peacefully under the Atlas sun — vaccinated, loved, and part of the community.
That image speaks louder than any stadium.
🐕 How Moroccan Charities Are Already Helping
Across the country, dozens of nonprofit organizations and shelters are fighting daily to save animals — often with little funding or recognition.
🇲🇦 Morocco Animal Aid (Agadir)
A leading charity that rescues and sterilizes hundreds of dogs and cats yearly. They run community programs, vaccination drives, and foster networks.
🇲🇦 SARA Morocco (Souss Region)
Focused on sterilization, education, and outreach. SARA has saved over 1,000 animals and works closely with international partners.
🇲🇦 SFT Animal Sanctuary (Tangier)
Home to more than 1,000 rescued animals — from donkeys and horses to dogs and cats. SFT runs one of Morocco’s most effective TNVR programs.
🇲🇦 SPA du Maroc (Rabat & Casablanca)
Morocco’s oldest animal welfare association. Advocates for policy reform, humane control, and stronger anti-cruelty laws.
🇲🇦 Help Adopt Moroccan Animals (Marrakech)
Provides food, shelter, and medical care for hundreds of dogs and cats awaiting adoption.
These charities prove that change is possible — but they cannot do it alone.
💸 Why We Need Your Help
Every sterilization costs around 400–600 MAD.
Every vaccination costs 100–200 MAD.
Every rescued dog needs food, water, and shelter — about 25 MAD per day.

💛 100% of donations go directly to animal rescue, sterilization, and food supplies.
🌍 Why Charity Matters More Than Ever
Globally, animal welfare has become a sign of social progress. Just like Goodwill Industries, Salvation Army, or St. Jude Children’s Hospital have changed lives abroad, Morocco can lead Africa in humane, community-driven animal welfare.
This is not just charity — it’s a movement of compassion.
It’s Morocco saying to the world: “We care.”
