SOS Joana Darc
Our Mission
Amidst abandonment and neglect, a new beginning was born. Here, we don’t just care for “pets.” Here, we rescue lives. Each animal has a name, a personality, and a unique story. And each of them now has a chance to start over, because here we deliver love, care, and hope.
Founded by Joana Darc, a woman who abandoned the stability of corporate life to live with her feet in the mud and her heart in the mission, this project was born out of the outrage of seeing animals treated like trash. Cold, hungry, sick, ignored by a world too rushed to look into the eyes of those who only know how to love.
Save the Shelter
Every day is a battle to keep alive those the world has forgotten. But you can change that. With a small gesture, you can transform hunger into nourishment, pain into care, abandonment into love.

Testimonials
See what people who support our cause have to say about this transformative experience of being part of SOS Joana Darc mission.
Donating was my way of contributing to a cause that truly matters. Knowing that my support helps feed and care for animals fills me with gratitude.
I couldn’t adopt, but I found a way to help. My monthly donations have made a difference for so many furry friends, and it makes me feel part of this beautiful mission.
I heard about the shelter by instagram and was moved by the stories. I made a donation and soon received photos of the animals being cared for. This is wonderful.
Our Gallery
Each of these little warriors has a story of overcoming obstacles. They came to us wounded, scared, and without hope, but with love and care, they became the loyal companions you see here. Your donation makes these transformations possible.
