About Kintamani Campur
Kintamani Campur e.V. is a registered German animal welfare association dedicated to helping dogs.
Her name is Sophie.
Sophie was my first rescue, and she is a Kintamani mix. The Kintamani is a native dog breed from Bali, named after the Kintamani region in the north of the island. In Indonesian, campur means mixed.
So when Sophie came into my life, the name Kintamani Campur simply described her: a mixed Kintamani dog from Bali.
At the beginning, there was no rescue organisation, no bigger plan and no idea where any of this would lead. I created an Instagram account called Kintamani Campur mainly to keep friends updated about Sophie, her recovery and her life after being rescued.
But it did not stay about Sophie for very long.
Once you start paying attention to the dogs around you in Bali, it becomes difficult to look away. There were injured dogs, sick dogs, puppies, abandoned dogs and street dogs that simply needed help. So I started helping more of them, one after another.
The Instagram account that was originally created for one Kintamani mix slowly became a place where I documented many different rescues.
And that is how Kintamani Campur grew.
What started with Sophie became a much bigger commitment to helping dogs.

Today, Kintamani Campur rescues, treats and supports dogs in need. Some dogs come to us because they are sick or injured. Some have been abandoned. Others simply need medical treatment, parasite prevention, sterilisation, food or a safe place to recover.
Not every dog needs to be taken off the street permanently. Sometimes the best way to help is to treat a dog where they already live, make sure they have access to food and medical care and prevent further unwanted litters.
For the dogs that do come into our care, the goal is not only to keep them alive. We want them to have a life that actually feels like one.
That means medical treatment, good food, social contact, walks, time outside, attention and, whenever possible, the chance to find a permanent home.
Rescue is not just what we do. It's who we are.
Compassion
We lead with care, not spectacle.
Rescue
Every dog matters. No exceptions.
Respect
For the animals, the people, and the island.
Hope
Second chances are the entire point.
Community
None of this works alone.
