I’m Andreas, the founder of Kintamani Campur—a rescue initiative for Bali’s street dogs that started almost by accident back in 2018. I had taken in a tiny puppy, just trying to help one life. I didn’t know then that it would turn into something so much bigger.

It all began with Sophie, a fluffy little pup who completely stole my heart. Friends kept asking how she was doing, so I started an Instagram account to share her updates. At first, it was just cute videos and photos – but over time, Sophie’s story became something deeper. She was the reason Kintamani Campur was born.

Then came Baley, my first real rescue. She was sick with distemper, but she kept fighting. Baley’s rescue changed everything. From that point on, the project shifted – from posting about one dog to sharing real rescue stories from the streets of Bali. Stories of survival, healing, and hope.

The online community quickly became part of the journey. Without that support, I wouldn’t have been able to grow Kintamani Campur into what it is today. From covering medical costs to spreading awareness, this became something bigger than me. It became a shared mission.

As more dogs came in, each with their own past, the page evolved into a space for animal welfare in Indonesia – a place where forgotten and neglected animals could get seen, get help, and finally, get a second chance. What started as a single foster turned into a grassroots rescue organization.

I’ll be honest – it hasn’t always been easy. Rescuing street dogs in Bali means dealing with tough conditions, limited resources, and heartbreaking situations. But every challenge has also brought growth. And the support of this community has made a real difference—both for me and for the dogs we rescue.

Today, Kintamani Campur is more than just a rescue page. It’s a small but growing sanctuary for dogs who’ve been abandoned, injured, or left behind. And it’s a place where people from around the world come together to support dog adoption, street dog feeding, and long-term care.

So if you’re here reading this—thank you. Whether you’ve just found us or have been following since the early Sophie days, you’re part of this journey. One rescue at a time, we’re trying to make things better.
