Who we are

​Animal Protection Foundation (APF) is a non-profit organization and dog shelter registered in Egypt under the number 5630.  

APF helps the street dogs who had no-one else to care for them. Millions of  strays are roaming the streets of Egypt, with the numbers growing alarmingly due to a lack of sterilization (spay/neuter).

The dogs in the streets are prone to being hurt by people or cars, or being sick. And although we only help those who are severely injured or very sick, however, the shelter is always working above its capacity. 

APF does not receive government or any other authority funding. We rely completely on donations.    

We Provide rescue, shelter, medical care and re-homing programs inside and out side Egypt. 

We Also:
Promote awareness, among children and youth and encourage role models who would become inspiring animal welfare leaders within their families, community, clubs, schools and colleges...etc.

Promote and conduct TNR (Trap, Neuter/Spay, Release) programs to address street pets overpopulation. 

Endeavor to create animal welfare laws in Egypt.

Promote responsible street guardianship for stray pets and promote the Baladi Dog features.
