Sustainability is the point

We don't chase short-term gains, and we're not building an organization that depends on foreign funding to survive. For animal welfare in Jordan to mean anything lasting, it needs to be Jordanian-led — with the local capacity to keep going after the grant cycles end and the headlines fade. We welcome partnerships, and the ones we value most are the ones that leave us more self-sufficient over time, not less.

Research and education are how we get there.

This is why research and education sit at the core of our work. Direct welfare alone is treadmill work — you treat the animal in front of you, and another arrives tomorrow. Research produces the evidence that lets us target scarce resources where they generate the most lasting impact. Education shifts attitudes and trains the veterinarians whose work will outlive any single program or grant cycle. Both are how short-term care becomes long-term change.

Welfare, self-sustained.

The numbers below are a live report of one slice of this work — our welfare programs, almost entirely sustained by VET9, our veterinary clinic.

A model worth scaling. Our for-profit clinic (VET9) funds 95% of the welfare work shown here from commercial revenue alone. The remaining 5% — and every new programme we want to launch — is where partners and donors come in. Every dollar contributed extends the reach of a model that already pays for itself.

During this period, our for-profit clinic donated veterinary care valued at $37,323 USD to 839 animals in need. This work is delivered through subsidised pricing for community rescue cases, our own street-rescue programme, free spays for owned female dogs, and our sanctuary for blind dogs.

Looking ahead

Today, our commercial revenue covers roughly 95% of total clinic expenses, including the charitable work summarised above. Our founding benefactors absorb the remaining gap, and we are deeply grateful for their continued partnership. As we grow toward full profitability, we intend to reinvest the surplus — together with new partners’ contributions — into expanding our blind-dog sanctuary, widening free-spay coverage, opening intake to more rescue cases, and launching welfare programmes we cannot yet fund alone.

Methodology. “Value of care contributed” is measured at retail rates (the prices a paying client would be charged). For animals under our sanctuary and rescue accounts, the full invoice value is counted; for subsidised-care visits and free-spay programme invoices the clinic absorbs only the discount portion, and that difference is what’s reported.

Figures are presented in US dollars for international readability. Source amounts are recorded in Jordanian Dinar (JD), the currency in which our clinic operates, and converted at an exchange rate of 1 USD = 0.71 JD.

Bucket scope: invoices for pet owners 1875 (Sanctuary) and 1946 (Rescue) are counted at full retail. Invoices containing procedure ID 5872 enter the Free Spay Programme bucket (owned female dogs only); remaining invoices with rescue_case = 1 enter the Subsidised Care bucket. Free-spay surgeries are valued at the clinic’s actual per-surgery cost of 75 JD rather than the line’s retail price, to reflect the real resources dedicated to the programme. Medications are excluded from the rescue-case discount per clinic policy. Only veterinary-care item types contribute — boarding, retail, grooming, and non-rescue discounts are excluded. Legacy “Rescue Discount” line items (pre-2026) are counted at their absolute value for the Subsidised Care bucket.
