ANIMAL FRIENDS OF TURKEY (AFOT)

Registered charity 1182513 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

AFOT rescues abandoned, abused and street animals. We do this by placing the animal in an AFOT foster home where it stays for the four month minimum compulsory travel wait. We promote our dogs on our website and invite applications from members of the public. Thorough checks including home checks are carried out for suitability. The animals we help are predominantly from the SW of Turkey.
