The aim of International Animal Rescue is to come to the aid of wild and domestic animals with hands-on rescue and rehabilitation.

At International Animal Rescue we do exactly what our name says. We save animals from suffering around the world by:

Cutting free the dancing bears of India
Rescuing primates from the animal smugglers of Indonesia
Saving migratory birds from the guns of Malta
Providing veterinary care for the stray dogs and cats of India

When we can, we release rescued animals back into the wild. And when that’s not possible, we care for them in our sanctuaries.

With your help, we can save many more animals like these.

FREE THE DANCING BEARS

IAR has been campaigning to free the bears since 2002 when our first sanctuary opened in Agra, India.

The trade in dancing bears has been illegal in India since 1972, but kalandar nomads still use bears on the streets to beg money from tourists. Indian dancing bears are sloth bears, poached from the wild as tiny cubs. Any cub that survives this trauma is destined for a life of misery and pain, beaten and abused to make him 'dance.'

READ OLIVE'S BLOG!

Woof! I'm Olive Oyl and I live at Animal Tracks, the IAR centre in Goa. I now have my very own blog to tell you all about the goings on at the centre.

I meet and greet everyone who comes through the gate. I still can’t believe my luck - I was down and out on the streets, but IAR rescued me in the nick of time. Now I’m a real VIP - a Very Important Pooch. Life is great, and thanks to International Animal Rescue and its supporters I’m here to tell the tale! > Read my blog

COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING

Ruby Pierce and Jackson Clarke raising funds to save the slow loris

Caring children from Oakley C of E combined school in Buckinghamshire have supported International Animal Rescue’s campaign to save the slow loris by baking and selling cakes.

Ruby Pierce was so upset when she read IAR’s letter about the plight of the slow loris that she was determined to help.
