Farid Mansurov, a resident of Baku, has made a significant impact by rescuing 350 dogs, many of whom were found on the streets. He established a shelter specifically for dogs with disabilities or injuries, dedicating his 20-acre country house to their care. Through his efforts, these vulnerable animals receive the love, medical attention, and permanent home they need.
The shelter, named “Kind World,” began with a dog who had lost a leg in a car accident as its first resident. The second was a small stray puppy rescued from hunger and the cold.
Today, the shelter is home to 350 four-legged friends.
Farid outlines the selection criteria for “Kind World” as focusing on disabled, injured, or sick dogs. The shelter prioritizes rescuing animals who are in distress or have encountered serious difficulties.
In addition to physically injured or sick dogs, “Kind World” also provides a refuge for dogs with severe psychological traumas. For instance, two German Shepherds at the shelter were purchased from their previous owner, who had kept them in deplorable conditions. These dogs were confined to short chains no longer than half a meter, causing significant emotional distress.
Farid’s goal is not only to treat the dogs and restore their health but also to rebuild their trust in humans. 
Some parents unintentionally teach their children to disrespect animals from a young age, failing to recognize the moral wrong in mistreating them. Farid highlights this issue, noting that these same parents often wonder why their grown children exhibit cruelty. Instead, he believes that children should be taught to cherish and respect all living things, including nature, people, and animals. 
Anyone interested in adopting a dog from the shelter is welcome to do so, provided they commit to giving their new companion proper care and affection.
