Please continue posting more information so we would be able to spread the words and ask for donations. It would be great to see animal lovers open up shelters in other provinces.

Thanks indeed, for posting this video. I very much admire the efforts of those goodm people behind this. However. we all know that one shelter in a country like Iran won't be able to handle all the homeless animals there. Howevere, this is a start and a courageous one!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. But its odd that it took this long for Iran to have an animal shelter? What is the governments policy exactly on this? Does it support this shelter or merely tolerate it. I'd love to get some more info on it. I saw some youtube clips about dogs in iran and it was so sad. I don't think we Iranians respect animals or even pets the way Americans do. But at same time, some people here in America take it to the extreme with their love for their pets. Shoot its big business here, people take their dogs for pedicures.
