Animal Friends of Turkey often work together with other dog rescue charities in the UK to help our dogs find homes.

We not only work with reputable rescues that will help with mixed breeds but also with breed specific charities who focus on helping a specific breed of dog and AFOT will usually try to secure a place for a breed specific dog with one of these rescues. They are familiar with the breed and will find the best suited home for them.

We have rescued a number of pointers, boxers and even dealt with St Bernard rescues. Many of these rescues will help with their transportation costs and offer all the dogs rescue back up (RBU).

Some of the dogs that have been lucky enough to find a home suited to their breed with the help of breed specific rescues include:

Albert was found abandoned at a dumping ground used by drug dealers. He was very poorly with Leishmaniasis but when he was stable he was adopted in Scotland
Nel was rescued from a breeding ring and had horrific injuries to her eyes. After several operations she was well enough to find her loving UK home

Pongo was helped by pointer rescues, as was Jack. Both now have loving families in the UK
Found on death’s door wandering around the streets just before Christmas, she was named Mary
Another two lucky rescues are Ethel & Edna now living their best lives in the UK thanks to Boxer specific rescues

We currently have a beautiful German Shepherd called Nala and a blue ChowChow called Bear that we are currently in touch with GSD and chow rescues to try to find loving UK homes for them too.
