Tanzania Small Animal Veterinary Organization received their 3rd grant from Animal-Kind International (2023, 2024, and 2025) to trap-neuter-vaccinate-release dogs and cats to humanely manage the street animal population in Dar es Salaam. TASAVO TNVR'd a total of 344 cats and dogs!

Animal-Kind International's 2025 Animal Welfare Grant Program provided support to Animal Smile, located in Mpwapwa in central Tanzania, for their project, Hands On Healing. The goal of Hands On Healing was: To create future leaders in animal welfare, reduce suffering of our furry friends, protecting the public from zoonotic diseases, and inspire kindness through direct care, learning, and community engagement.

For Tanzania Small Animal Veterinary Organization's 2nd Animal-Kind International grant project, TASAVO targeted "problem" areas, where, for 6 months, they planned to trap, neuter, vaccinate, and return (TNVR) community cats and dogs and provide community animal welfare education. Most important, they are working on the university campus where the authorities agreed not to shoot roaming animals and instead to implement humane population management.

Animal-Kind International supported a 6-month spay-neuter project in Tanzania, sterilizing 297 cats and dogs.
