At International Animal Rescue we do exactly what our name says – we save animals from suffering around the world.
Our work includes cutting free and caring for dancing bears in India, rescuing primates from captivity in Indonesia and sterilising and vaccinating stray dogs and cats in developing countries.
Wherever possible we return rescued animals to their natural environment but we also provide a permanent home for animals that can no longer survive in the wild.
As human populations expand, wildlife comes under increasing threat. By rescuing individual animals belonging to species like the orangutan and reintroducing them into protected areas in the wild, our work also plays a role in the conservation of the species as a whole.
We work to educate the public in the compassionate and humane treatment of all animals. Sound scientiļ¬c evidence forms the basis for our decision-making and determines the course of our rescue operations. In all that we do we aim to find practical solutions that benefit both animals and people.
We also work with other like-minded organisations and government departments to strengthen legislation to protect animals from cruelty and neglect.
International Animal Rescue has its head office in the UK, comprising of a small fundraising team, accounts department and supporter care. The UK office works closely with the teams in India, Indonesia and Malta to ensure the projects run smoothly.
