As you already know your support paved the way for us in building a dog rehabilitation and rescue center in the Philippines. Keeping the operation of this haven equally keeps us busy aside from doing investigations and going after the dog-meat traders. We want to assure you, though, that our hands are never tied exploring means and ways in fully promoting the welfare of these victimized dogs. We have various activities and programs targeted to spread the highest possible way of animal welfare in the Philippines.

• ADOPTION PROGRAM - This system fully benefits the once slaughter-bound dogs; they get to be re-homed and ensured TLC by their new owners. IWCT/AKF employs strict guidelines for this program; we have laid-out random and surprise visits to all adopted dogs aside from pre-evaluations of the would-be-adoptors' home and getting significant dynamics and details which determine their capacity to go home with our rehabilitated dogs. Presently, 65 happy dogs have found new equally happy owners.

• ANIMAL WELFARE SEMINARS - Educating significant groups, agencies and organizations is likewise high on our agenda since these seminars have produced important tip-offs, police checkpoints seizing deliveries, development of trusted informants and rising animal welfare awareness among students, young urban professionals, and most especially, the police's body of students.







• PET-SHOWS & ANIMAL AWARENESS ACTIVITIES - Aside from acquiring revenues from selling IWCT/AKF shirts during these activities, we have also received some needed dog-food donations from various pet shops and businesses.

• INVESTIGATIONS & SURVEILLANCES - The riskier part of saving the Philippine dogs is carried out by our determined and passionate researchers. This leads to dogs being rescued from illegal slaughterhouses, closure of dog-meat restaurants plus interception of vehicles carrying suffering dogs.

• COMMITTEE on ANIMAL WELFARE MEMBERSHIP - Our inclusion into this pool of relevant government animal welfare agencies have resulted to us leading the lobbying in congress for the amendments of the existing animal-welfare laws. More significantly, a new act, the Anti Rabies Act (RA9482) has recently been signed by the Philippine president.
