Providing Charitable Veterinary Care in Morocco Since 1927™
When new life comes into the world, it’s cause for celebration! But when that birth is difficult … when the newborn is at risk … when a mother is lost … that beautiful day becomes a heartbreaking tragedy. Not only in the human realm. In the animal world as well.
Like so many people here in North Africa, Kamal depends on his mule for his livelihood. But his mule fell ill … seriously ill … and from the moment he arrived with her here at the American Fondouk, it was clear that this would take time.
It started small and simple … but it quickly grew into huge and complicated — a disaster. One mare bites another on the neck. It happens occasionally. It’s typically not a serious situation. But Amira, the elderly “auntie” (age 20), didn’t heal from her wound.
Gratitude… That’s my primary emotion, by far, after my first year as Director at the American Fondouk.What amazing experiences! It has been an incredibly rewarding journey. Let me highlight some of the memorable moments, especially the achievements that you’ve made possible, through your generous support.
In a crisis … WILL WE BE READY? A freak accident — a mule stabbed, and close to death — but compassion, generosity, and great love for animals … our supporters helped saved him. And maybe even saved his owner’s life. It was a remote corner of Morocco. A man I’ll call Amal, living in […]

What’s one life worth? For animal lovers like us, one life is worth EVERYTHING. No matter the obstacles. No matter the distance. No matter what the consequences may be. If you have the power to save one life, you do it. You go all the way — or find another calling. At the American Fondouk, […]
The love our supporters have for animals … their compassion, their generosity … is making such a beautiful difference in Morocco! They are helping us provide care for working animals over the course of their entire lives. From birth to death — through sickness and health — their heart is there. I am so grateful. […]
If you’ve ever had any doubt, let me say this: Our supporters are right here with us saving lives! Without our supporters, what hope could we have to survive a worldwide pandemic that shut down the most modern countries on earth? Without their dedication, how could we be ready to continue treating nearly 50 animals […]
If you’ve ever had a severe earache, then you know how terrible they can be. Now imagine having one for two years. But Ghita was dealing with much more than that. By the time this 6-year-donkey arrived at our doors, she’d been suffering from chronic nodular lesions in both ears. So had her 3-year-old son […]
