The Dog Who Started It All
From One Puppy to More Than 190 Lives.
Today, those same animals are waiting for a permanent place to call HOME.
We were given just six weeks to relocate nearly 190 rescued animals. After 11 years of rescue work, we finally have the opportunity to build a permanent sanctuary where they can live without the fear of relocation or uncertainty.
For the first time, they will have a place to call HOME.
From One Puppy to More Than 190 Lives.
Amy Sukmana is known throughout Indonesia's animal welfare community as someone who never hesitates to help.
For more than 11 years, Amy has devoted her life to rescuing dogs and cats in need. Along the way, she has moved from one rented property to another, often facing eviction and opposition from local communities.
For the past six years, Omah Ogel has operated from a rented property in Depok, West Java, providing a safe haven for hundreds of rescued animals with nowhere else to go.
Every photo below tells the story of a second chance. Rescued from the streets, treated with care, and given the opportunity to heal.Today, they are healthy, safe, and loved..
The land has already been secured through Amy's personal savings.Today, construction is underway on a 1,051 m² property in Bogor Regency that will become Omah Ogel's permanent sanctuary.
✅ Official Land Certificate — The Property Has Been Purchased and Registered undername by Amy
Temporary bamboo shelters are already providing immediate protection for the animals.Now we are building the essential facilities needed to create a safe and sustainable sanctuary for years to come.

This is where your support is making a visible difference.
On a ±1,051 m² plot in Kalongliud Village, Nanggung, Bogor Regency — we are building a safe, humane, and permanent sanctuary for every animal who calls Omah Ogel home.
With limited funds and the urgent need to relocate by mid-June 2026, we had to find a solution quickly.
In April 2026, we purchased a piece of land from a local resident. The property was heavily overgrown with dense vegetation and hundreds of bamboo trees.
As we looked at the land, an idea emerged.
Instead of clearing everything away, we decided to make use of the natural resources already there. Hundreds of bamboo stalks were carefully repurposed into simple bamboo shelters and perimeter fencing for the animals.
It may not be the ideal sanctuary we dream of building one day, but it provides something far more important right now: safety, stability, and a permanent place to call HOME.
For the next 3–5 years, our rescued dogs and cats will no longer have to live under the constant threat of eviction, relocation, or uncertainty. After years of moving from one rented property to another, they finally have a place where they can stay, heal, and belong.For the first time, they won't have to wonder where home is.

Construction is already underway. Amy has personally committed significant funds toward land acquisition and construction. The amount shown under "Already Spent & Committed" includes completed payments, purchased materials, ongoing construction expenses, and project obligations that remain payable to suppliers and contractors.
190+ animals currently in care. 150+ rescued dogs, 40+ rescued cats. Hundreds of rescue cases since 2019.
Behind every rescue is a story. Behind every story is a second chance.
We believe trust is earned through openness.
That's why we share this journey as it happens — from construction progress and expense reports to rescue stories and daily updates from the animals themselves.
Our supporters are part of this mission, and we believe they deserve to see every step along the way.

Amy Sukmana — Founder, Omah Ogel
Amy's work has touched countless lives — both human and animal.
I've known Amy for years, and what she does is nothing short of extraordinary. She gives everything — her time, her money, her heart — to animals that the world forgot. I've never met anyone with such pure, unconditional love for creatures who can't speak for themselves.
When my dog was injured and I had nowhere to turn, Amy helped us immediately — no questions, no fees, just pure kindness. She has this quiet strength that makes you believe everything will be okay. Omah Ogel wouldn't exist without that energy.
I volunteered at Omah Ogel for three months and it changed my life. Amy works from sunrise to midnight, 7 days a week, never complaining. She treats every single animal as if it were the most important being in the world. That's rare. That's real.
Amy rescued a paralyzed dog that three vets had already given up on. She nursed him back to health over five months with zero budget. He's now living with a lovely family in Bandung. That's the kind of person she is — she simply refuses to give up.
We adopted two cats from Omah Ogel last year. Amy spent two hours with us making sure we were the right fit — she cares that much. Six months later she still checks in on our cats. The love doesn't stop when they leave the shelter. It follows them home.
Every message reminds us that compassion has no borders. Leave your name and a few words for Amy, the animals, or anyone who stumbles across this page.
8 Years ago, a tiny puppy named Ogel was found alone, sick, and fighting for his life. Amy chose not to walk away.
That single act of compassion eventually grew into Omah Ogel — a sanctuary that now protects more than 190 rescued animals.
Today, those animals are counting on a new home. The land has been purchased. Construction is underway. The animals are already moving.
Now we need your help to finish what was started.
Every contribution — large or small — helps bring this sanctuary one step closer to completion. Together, we can build a place where rescued animals will never have to wonder where they belong again.
