About SARA Morocco
Founded by Michele Augsburger in 2013, SARA Morocco (originally Association Le Coeur sur la Patte – CSPA) was created in response to the dire conditions of street animals in Morocco. Michele was determined to make a broader impact beyond individual rescues.
In 2014, CSPA started a Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program to control the population of stray dogs and combat the spread of diseases. In 2016, it became the first officially sanctioned TNVR scheme in Morocco. However, in April 2018, the city came under pressure to remove all dogs from the streets, leading Michele to find land and rescue 750 dogs, marking the birth of Sunshine Animal Refuge Agadir: SARA Morocco.
Your passion for photography can directly impact the lives of dogs in need. By entering our competition, a percentage of your entry fee goes straight to supporting a dog shelter, providing vital care such as food, vaccinations, and the attention they need to thrive. You’re not just entering a competition; you’re giving a dog a better chance at life.
Every entry counts. Together, our community of photographers can make a significant impact on the lives of countless dogs. Your contribution, combined with others, creates a powerful force for good, providing the resources these shelters desperately need to continue their life-saving work.
