Save Giraffes Now

❤️ YOU DID IT! ❤️

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have reached our fundraising goal for Mike Parkei’s kidney treatment.

When we shared Mike’s story, we hoped people would recognize the extraordinary man he is. Mike stood on the front lines helping save the last remaining herd of Rothschild’s giraffes at Ruko Conservancy during devastating floods, dedicating his life to protecting wildlife.

The response has been overwhelming. On behalf of Mike, his family, and all of us, thank you. Your kindness, compassion, and support will help provide the life-saving treatment he urgently needs.

🐾 Meet Rudi — a retired conservation canine who spent 8 years helping protect Zambia’s wildlife.

Save Giraffes Now proudly supports veterinary and K9 teams, helping protect the rare Thornicroft’s giraffe found only in Zambia. 🦒

Rudi, who was in the K9 team, worked tirelessly detecting illegal wildlife products and protecting endangered animals — even after developing a condition affecting his hind legs.

Now retired this sweet senior boy spends his days enjoying long walks, curling up in his bed, chewing on his favorite plastic bones, and greeting new visitors with an enthusiastic bark.

While Rudi enjoys his well-deserved retirement, Save Giraffes Now is supporting by paying for his food and medicine.
