Our Story
Our Story
Our journey began over 25 years ago when founder Hoda Mklad and her mother started rescuing vulnerable street and desert dogs, providing them with life-saving veterinary care. What started as Freedom Animal Rescue Centre in Giza, Egypt, has grown into Heart of Life Rescue—a dedicated haven for animals in need.
Today, we are not only on the front lines rescuing dogs from dangerous situations, but we are also active campaigners fighting for animal rights, justice, and government legislation to legally protect street animals across Egypt.
How Do We Make an Impact?
How Do We Make an Impact?
Rescue & Care: We bravely step into challenging situations to rescue, treat, and shelter dogs in urgent need.
Humane Population Control: We actively collaborate with veterinary groups to safely catch, sterilise, and release street dogs to sustainably reduce the stray population.
Advocacy: We fight to give a voice to the voiceless by pressing for stronger legal protections.

Public Health & Community Awareness
Public Health & Community Awareness
Protection extends beyond shelter walls. With certification from the World Health Organisation as a Civil Society Coordinator, Hoda leads our ground campaigns across streets and neighbourhoods to raise awareness about rabies prevention.
We have successfully carried out dozens of educational drives—extensively documented through photo campaigns—bridging the gap between human health, community safety, and street dog protection.
