About Us

Four Paws One Heart is a small organisation dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating the street dogs and cats of Cairo, Egypt. Dogs are rehomed to the UK.

The rescue was founded by British woman Georgia Watkins Tesfaye in 2024. After seeing the stories of Egyptian dogs online, she travelled to Cairo to help them in person and spread global awareness of their plight. These poor animals, particularly German Shepherds, are subjected to unimaginable levels of abuse by local people, and the authorities do nothing to help them.

Georgia and her team work closely with a local vet, and dogs are boarded at a farm just outside Cairo while the rescue works on building their own sanctuary nearby.

A UK-based team provides support.
