IWCT TODAY |

The fight must never stop for this cruelty to END!

Since 1998, IWCT (now under the name of AKF in the Philippines) has employed six local people fulltime to investigate and prepare charges against those involved in this illegal activity. Once the evidence has been gathered, it is reported to the police and a complaint by us is then filed. This results in members of our crew accompanying the police in raiding the illegal premises where the crime is being committed. The police arrest the offenders and charge them with violating the animal welfare act and the confiscated dogs are passed over into our care.

We subsequently have to take the dogs into the local City Pound, but, sadly, due to a lack of facilities, unless the dogs are re-homed (hardly any ever are), 7-10 days later they are put down.

With this heartbreaking reality, IWCT/AKF dreamt and made it a reality to build a permanent rescue centre for the dogs (on a leased property). A full and determined adoption program is working very well and where healthy dogs are not adopted, they are not being put down, but are living their natural life span in the most wonderful way they can ever experience.

Costs are very high and are forever mounting, but this work must go on, that is why we are asking you today to help us with your generous donation, or contact us for further information. The horror pictures on this website speak for themselves and the wonderful pictures, where we have fed and given water to the dogs, tells you how far we have come in this fight. Together YOU and IWCT/AKF, as long as we have the means, can and will make a difference.

Having witnessed many times the dreadful cruelty that the dogs are forced to endure at the hands of these evil dog traders, I believe the rescued dogs deserve, at very least, a second chance at life.
