Zaar Crowdfunding Malta

04/06/2026

We're so happy to announce that the Adopt a Sicilian Stray crowdfunding campaign was a success! 🙌

But... it's not over!

The campaign will still be running until the end of June, so if you meant to donate and it slipped your mind... you still can! (here's the link: https://zaar.com.mt/projects/sicily-strays/)

All proceeds go towards the wonderful work done by Theresa for all those stray dogs who are looking for their forever home 🫶

When someone goes missing or an emergency unfolds in Malta, the Search & Rescue Unit - Order of Malta answers the call. Its volunteers, supported by trained search dogs, deploy day or night to find missing persons – from hikers to vulnerable adults – often working alongside the police and civil protection teams.

A crowdfunding campaign on Zaar aims to fund a dedicated Search and Rescue (SAR) vehicle which would double as a mobile operations hub.

The campaign closes on 27 June. There's still time — but not much.

On Zaar right now, the Adopt a Stray Foundation and Hill's Pet Nutrition Malta are raising €20,000 for a rescue vehicle for Theresa — a woman who has spent years driving her personal car between Malta and Sicily to rescue stray dogs and bring them home to loving families.

A Volkswagen Transporter means more dogs per trip. Safer journeys. A mission that doesn't have to stop when the boot is full.

If you've been thinking about it, this is your nudge. Donate before 27 June — or share this post and let someone else take the wheel. 🐾

Did you know? 🚗
Right now, Malta's Search & Rescue Unit of the Order of Malta has NO dedicated response vehicle.

That means:
❌ Dogs and equipment travel in separate vehicles
❌ Medical gear isn't always on-site when needed
❌ On-ground coordination is limited

A single vehicle changes all of this. Help raise €43,750 to build a fully operational mobile SAR unit.

This is where €20,000 goes:

🚐 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0 TDI — €18,500
📋 Insurance & registration — €800
🍗 Food, crates & blankets for the first run — €700

That's it. No overhead. No mystery. Every cent goes toward getting Theresa — a woman who has spent years rescuing strays between Malta and Sicily — a vehicle that's actually built for the job.

She's been doing this in her personal car. It's time we give her the right tools.

Hill's Pet Nutrition Malta and the Adopt a Stray Foundation are asking for your help. Follow the link to donate and share with anyone who loves dogs. 🐶

27 June. €20,000. One vehicle. Hundreds of future rescues.

We're in the final stretch of this campaign on Zaar, and we need the Maltese community to show up.

Theresa has been doing this work for years — crossing from Malta to Sicily, rescuing stray dogs, and finding them homes here. Hill's Pet Nutrition Malta and the Adopt a Stray Foundation are asking for your help to fund a proper rescue vehicle so she can keep going.

Donate. Share. Tag a friend who loves dogs. Every action between now and 27 June matters.

🐶 Because every dog deserves a second chance — and every rescuer deserves the right tools.

🐾 They train for months. They show up without hesitation. They search through the night.

The volunteers and search dogs of the Order of Malta SAR Unit give everything they have — but they need the right tools to do it safely and effectively.

A fully equipped Rapid Response Vehicle will keep them — and the people they search for — safer. Can you help make it happen?
