Animal Kingdom Foundation 

Operating at the critical forefront of animal protection, AKF serves as the primary Philippine authority dedicated to dismantling the illicit dog meat industry. Since 2002, their team has worked alongside the Philippine National Police to execute raids on illegal facilities and stop transport vehicles, directly saving countless lives. Unlike traditional shelters focusing on stray management, they provide a specialized bridge between law enforcement and animal welfare by investigating criminal networks and securing legal justice. Those they rescue undergo comprehensive rehabilitation at the modern Capas, Tarlac sanctuary, where they receive the care and training needed to prepare for their new lives in loving forever homes.
