IAPWA was founded in 2009 to provide protection and improve the welfare of animals in need. Today we are an international animal welfare charity, driven to provide a lifeline for animals around the world.  

Through our projects and partnerships, we’re committed to creating long-term change, working towards a better future for all animals. Our work is vast and includes providing veterinary services to animals in need, educating communities about the importance of animal welfare, working with authorities to develop humane dog and cat population management programmes, and even finding supportive homes for dogs and cats through our adoption programmes. We provide care to thousands of animals worldwide every year and rely on the support of generous animal lovers like you to help us.
