🐾 Who Are We?

Bambi Foundation Albania was born out of a deep love for animals and a strong desire to be their voice — especially for the ones left behind, abandoned, or forgotten.

We are a small but passionate rescue organization dedicated to saving, protecting, and rehoming street dogs across Albania. Every dog that comes through our shelter has a name, a story, and a heart that longs for love — and we are here to give them that chance.

From emergency rescues to medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption, our mission is simple:
✨ To provide safety, hope, and a new beginning to every dog in need.

What started as a dream has become a daily commitment full of challenges, sacrifices, and most importantly — unconditional love. We believe that no soul deserves to suffer on the streets, and with your help, we can continue to build a better future for them.

Whether you support us by adopting, donating, volunteering, or simply sharing our mission,
you are part of this journey.
Together, we can make sure that every paw finds a safe place to land.

💛 Because love is rescued.

Our Foundation

Bambi Foundation Albania is a small but powerful foundation built from the heart — and run entirely by just two devoted women who believe every dog deserves a second chance.

With no big team or sponsors behind us, we do everything ourselves: rescuing dogs from the streets, providing medical care, finding safe shelter, and working day and night to help them heal and find loving homes.
Every bark, every wag, every saved life — it’s personal to us.

We may be few, but our love and determination are limitless. Because when you follow your heart, even a small team can create a big impact.

“I didn’t plan to become part of a rescue mission — my heart simply couldn’t look away. Every animal I’ve fostered has left a mark on my soul. I may not have founded this shelter, but I give it my whole heart every single day. Because for them, I am home, even if just for a while.”

I may not have had the resources, but I’ve always had the heart. And for them, I’ll never stop — because saving them gives meaning to everything I do.”
