Our History

Meet Isabel and Wissal, an extraordinary couple whose adventure began in Marrakech in 2016. While immersing themselves in the vibrant Marrakchi culture, they couldn't help but notice the problem of stray dogs roaming the streets. Instead of turning a blind eye, Isabel and Wissal decided to make a difference. Since their arrival in Marrakech in 2016, Isabel and Wissal's compassion has extended beyond dogs. Their incredible track record includes rescuing more than 60 animals, including dogs, donkeys and cats. Importantly, they undertook this noble mission without any external financial support.

Their compassionate hearts led them to rescue these abandoned animals, offering them a second chance at life. Over the years, they became pillars of support for the stray dogs, providing them with love, care and a sense of belonging. Wissal and Isabel's efforts not only transformed the lives of these dogs, but also created a ripple effect of compassion in the community. They have experienced success stories that radiate joy and satisfaction, but they have also endured heartbreaking moments...

However, October 2023 marked a turning point, as the local authorities decided to kill all stray dogs in order to keep the city "beautiful" for tourists. Faced with the imminent threat of culling, Isabel and Wissal went to great lengths to hide as many dogs as possible. Their commitment to these animals went beyond words, it was a testament to their unwavering dedication.

Now, Isabel and Wissal are on a mission to find homes for these hardy strays. Despite the challenges they face, they have ensured that each dog is vaccinated, sterilised and receives the care they need. The couple's belief in the strength, loyalty and love of stray dogs is reflected in every adoption.

If you were touched by their story and would like to contribute to their noble cause, please consider making a donation. Your support will not only help cover the costs of salaries, rent, vaccinations and sterilisations, but will also contribute to creating a brighter future for these remarkable animals, who are still being slaughtered by the thousands today, and together we can change this by protecting animals who only want to give love. In a world that is cruel to them, giving them happiness is our most lethal weapon against injustice.


Adopting a street dog means welcoming a companion who has overcome adversity, showing strength, love and unwavering loyalty. Wissal and Isabel invite you to be part of this incredible journey and make a difference in the lives of these wonderful creatures. Together, we can turn their story of survival into a tale of hope and triumph.
