Phoebe’s story
One dog whose life has been completely transformed through this programme is baby Phoebe. She was found with her six siblings abandoned at a wet market on Penang Island. Their tiny bodies were badly burned after boiling water was thrown over them.
Terrified and in pain, Phoebe was rescued by our IAPWA Penang team and given the urgent medical care, safety and love she needed to recover. All of the puppies were nurtured back to full health, and began looking for their loving forever homes.
The attack had left little Phoebe with the most severe injuries out of all of the puppies, and as a result she was very timid in nature. However, Phoebe's new mum Andrea saw right past this and chose to give her a second chance at love regardless.
Today, Phoebe has settled so well into her new home. She’s no longer the scared little pup in the corner - she’s curious, playful and full of joy. She even welcomed a foster brother into her home - little Brownie, another dog rescued by IAPWA Penang. An incredible and well-deserved ending after such a difficult start in life.

Monitoring and evaluation
Since the initial baseline survey, the IAPWA Penang team have repeated street surveys following standardised protocol. For each round, every route is surveyed twice to measure the variation in dog density from day to day. The variation is then compared to changes in dog density over time to assess the impact of the intervention effort.
The survey teams used the OSMtracker from 2019 to 2023 - an application on smartphones to record the GPS location of dogs sighted and their demographics. The routes were navigated using either Google Maps or Locus Free Maps applications. In 2025, the team used another application named TALEA, developed by International Companion Animal Management (ICAMCoalition) and Wise Monkey.
Taman Free School route
The surveys along this route demonstrated the positive impact of the project on dog density, with the figure below showing a clear trend in the reduction of dog density from 2.66 dogs/km in October 2019 down to 1.20 dogs/km in September 2025. This data supports the scientific models that as long as sterilization coverage is maintained above the 65%-70% threshold - especially for female dogs - the dog density will continue to decrease.
To ensure the continued success of the impact we have seen along the Taman Free School survey route, it is essential that the project continues its sterilisation activities in the area in addition to education efforts for responsible pet ownership and enforcement of licensing.

Sungai Pinang route
Results from the Sungai Pinang street surveys also indicate a clear reduction in dog density. When the sterilisation coverage was maintained above the threshold from Nov 2021, and over a period of 4 years, dog density decreased significantly from 3.07 dogs/km in December 2022 to 0.61 dogs/km in Nov 2025. No lactating females and puppies were observed in the past few years, indicating no active breeding on the ground and that the intervention through the programme is effective and should be continued.
Changes in dog density of the Sungai Pinang route between October 2019 and November 2025
Pearl Hill route
The team had reported challenges at Pearl Hill with hilly terrain, winding roads up steep slopes and uncleared jungle along the sides of the roads. The roaming dogs here have been harder to engage with. Despite the difficulties, the team focused on this area in 2024 with a positive impact. No puppies or lactating female dogs were spotted in the latest survey.

Conclusions and recommendations
Based on the positive results recorded across the routes, the following recommendations have been made to support long-term, humane and effective dog population management. These recommendations incorporate targeted measures as well as specific areas where the government’s (MBPP) support is crucial to sustaining and strengthening the programme.
1. Strengthening public education, licensing and enforcement
A comprehensive and coordinated approach to public education and enforcement is essential to prevent abandonment, improve responsible pet ownership and reduce the number of unwanted puppies. Recommendations:
-
Implement city-wide awareness campaigns to promote responsible pet ownership, the importance of neutering, and legal penalties for abandonment.
-
Roll out a digital and integrated licensing, microchipping, and registration system to enhance traceability of owned dogs.
-
Improve enforcement actions against illegal abandonment, unlicensed ownership and backyard breeding activities.
2. Promoting neutering of owned dogs through incentives
Increasing neutering rates among owned dogs is critical for reducing the number of unwanted litters entering public spaces. Recommendations:
-
MBPP and local veterinary clinics to actively promote neutering as a responsible and standard practice for pet owners.
-
Provide targeted financial incentives, such as subsidies or rebates on licensing fees, to encourage neutering of owned dogs.
3. Retention of neutered dogs within their territories
Retaining neutered, non-aggressive dogs in their original territories supports population stabilisation by preventing new, unneutered dogs from migrating into the area. Recommendations:
Avoid the removal of neutered dogs unless necessary for public safety to recognise the “territorial barrier effect” provided by neutered dogs in maintaining a stable population.

4. Promoting compassion and community engagement
Community engagement is essential for success. Recommendations:
- Promote community responsibility and compassionate interaction with strays and educate the public on the impact of any negative interactions
5. Strategic Prioritisation of High-Risk Areas
Targeted intervention is essential to prevent the spill-over of unsterilised dogs into areas that are already under control. Recommendations:
-
Focus TNR and enforcement efforts on areas most likely to contribute to population resurgence, including:
-
a.Known abandonment hotspots
-
b. Challenging landscapes with hard to catch dog populations
-
c.Construction sites where dogs are commonly left behind after project completion
-
d.Farms or facilities suspected of intentional breeding
6. Ensuring adequate resources for sustained TNR operations
A consistent sterilisation coverage in each targeted zone is necessary to achieve and maintain measurable reductions in roaming dog density. Recommendations:
-
Ensure that sufficient personnel, volunteers, equipment, and financial resources are available to sustain full TNR operational capacity. Prioritise achieving a 65–70% sterilisation rate in each targeted area before expanding to additional zones.
-
Maintain long-term monitoring and re-sterilisation efforts to prevent population rebound.
Survey conclusion
The findings clearly demonstrate that when TNR is consistently implemented alongside public education, enforcement, and community engagement, roaming dog density can be effectively reduced in a humane and sustainable manner. Continued collaboration between MBPP, IAPWA, veterinary practitioners, enforcement agencies, and local communities is essential to achieving a long-term, scientifically supported and compassionate stray dog management model for Penang Island.
The roaming dog street surveys provide a useful tool to monitor and evaluate the progress and success of the project on Penang Island. The results are conclusive that dog density decreases when 65-70% of the roaming dog population in an area are sterilized - especially female - and that threshold coverage is maintained year-onyear. While emphasis is often placed on prioritising female dogs in TNR interventions, the data shows that maintaining the number of both sterilised males and females above the threshold is most effective and impactful to reduce dog density. 11

Working together and celebrating success
Working collaboratively and uniting on a shared goal to improve the welfare of dogs is a key part of IAPWA and all programmes. Over this period, the team on the island liaised with many organisations and individuals to share learning. They also became part of the Asia for Animals (AFA) Coalition, a collective of organisations working together to improve animal welfare across Asia.
Awareness raising
2000 tote bags and car stickers promoting the scientific and systematic approach to managing strays were shared with NGOs and animal advocates across Malaysia, following support by YB Dato’ Sri Azalina Binti Othman Said. This helped raise awareness and generate much needed funds to support their work.

Our work in Borneo has been focused on turning strong local relationships into real, visible improvements for animals - all while continuing preparations for our long-term Borneo Animal Welfare Centre.
Following the assessment of a struggling local animal shelter in 2024, we worked closely with them to develop a three-year improvement plan. Phase One of this plan began in early 2025 and focuses on urgent clean-up, sanitation, and safety issues that were directly affecting animal welfare.
Shelter: Phase one
This initial phase began with clearing large amounts of accumulated rubbish, unblocking drains, cutting back overgrown vegetation, resurfacing enclosures, and trimming overhanging trees to reduce flooding. In total, six commercial rubbish bins were filled and removed, significantly improving cleanliness and safety across the shelter. The improved conditions also allowed the team to repair sections of damaged kennel fencing, improving security for the animals.
To ensure these improvements are maintained, we have supported the employment of a part-time groundskeeper. Their role includes managing vegetation and overseeing waste disposal, helping to reduce rats, snakes, insects, and other health risks linked to food waste and unmanaged rubbish.
Alongside the physical clean-up, we began reviewing how the shelter operates day-to-day. This included improving food and storage systems, strengthening waste management, and introducing clearer cleaning routines and standard operating procedures to support better hygiene and animal care. 800 resident dogs were also neutered as part of this phase.
The project has now moved into the final stage of Phase One. This includes major improvements to feeding to improve nutrition for the animals, cleaning practices, and a focus on individual care. New kitchen facilities, including a proper sink and closed drainage system, will also support safer food handling.
Shelter: Phase two
Looking ahead, Phase Two of the shelter project will focus on building a new cattery, upgrading quarantine and education areas, and continuing to improve shelter systems and animal welfare standards in partnership with the shelter team.

Borneo animal welfare centre
In parallel, progress continued on the planned Borneo Animal Welfare Centre. Throughout 2025, we continued to work with local architects to refine designs and discuss a long term lease with the landowner. While administrative processes in Malaysia have caused delays, we have ensured that we have utilised this time as effectively as possible through our work with the local sanctuary.
Together, these efforts reflect our commitment to practical, long-term change - supporting local partners, improving conditions for animals today, and building the foundations for a better future for dogs and cats in Borneo.
To ensure our resources have the greatest possible impact, our core projects for the foreseeable future will be focused on the above projects in Borneo, with all other work being managed within our Support Programmes for Companion Animals worldwide.
Payments for our work in Borneo are reflected within charitable activities or to IAAB as a grant.

In time, Blue’s coat grew back beautifully, his strength returned, and his personality began to shine. He started playing with the other dogs at the sanctuary and - after being fully vaccinated and neutered - is now living a happy, healthy life surrounded by his furry friends.
Max was rescued from the streets of Tangier suffering from an extremely severe case of papillomavirus. His face, lips, and the inside of his mouth were covered in painful papillomas (warts), leaving him in constant discomfort and unable to eat or drink.
Thanks to two surgeries and several weeks of dedicated veterinary care, Max made a full recovery and was also neutered and vaccinated. Gradually, his cheeky personality began to shine through, and today this sweet, bouncy boy is healthy, happy, and ready to find a loving home.

Back in June 2025, a small shop in Tangier tragically caught fire. It was more than just a business; it had become a place of refuge for stray dogs, cats and puppies - somewhere they returned to for food, safety and companionship.
When the fire tore through the building, it destroyed everything. More than 30 innocent animals lost their lives, and there were devastating reports of animals fleeing the scene while still on fire. The loss was immense, and the suffering heartbreaking.
Yet even in the aftermath, there was still hope. A number of animals managed to escape, and IAPWA stepped in immediately to support those still fighting for their lives at the animal hospital. Among them was little Simba, pictured above, a cat who had suffered severe burns from head to tail, along with internal damage caused by toxic smoke and debris.
The weeks that followed were long and uncertain, but slowly, Simba and the others began to recover - not just from their visible injuries, but from the hidden scars no one could see.
Today, the shop that was destroyed in the blaze has been rebuilt, and Simba is finally back where he belongs, surrounded by his furry friends and his devoted human companions. It has been a long and painful journey, marked by far too much heartbreak, but we are grateful we were able to step in at a moment that mattered most.

Rabies is a fatal viral disease that attacks the central nervous system of mammals. Once symptoms appear, survival is extremely rare, with a fatality rate of over 99%. Found on every continent except Antarctica, rabies remains one of the most feared and deadly diseases worldwide.
Every year, millions of dogs either contract rabies or are killed in culling programmes driven by fear and misinformation. These measures are widely recognised as ineffective. Removing dogs from an area creates a population vacuum, allowing new, unvaccinated dogs to move in and enabling the disease to persist. Experts consistently agree that culling does not prevent the spread of rabies.
Despite its severity, rabies is entirely preventable through a simple and effective vaccination. For this reason, IAPWA remains committed to delivering rabies vaccination campaigns as a core part of our work, protecting both animal and human lives.

During the period of this report, IAPWA was proud to continue its support for working donkeys in Tanzania, with a strong focus on tackling the impacts of the illegal and deeply cruel donkey skin trade, while providing essential veterinary care to donkeys in need.
Through our partnerships on the ground, IAPWA supported multiple Donkey Mobile Clinics that delivered hands-on veterinary treatment to working donkeys, improving their health, welfare, and ability to support the communities that rely on them. Donkeys received treatment for painful wounds, lameness, musculoskeletal issues, eye and skin conditions, alongside deworming and essential vitamin support, improving their health and reducing suffering. The educational element of the programme also ensured that the clinics extended beyond immediate treatment and led to long-term welfare improvement.
Alongside this, our work addressed the wider welfare risks posed by the donkey skin trade, which continues to cause immense suffering and threaten both animal welfare and livelihoods.

International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA)
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
In addition to direct welfare interventions, IAPWA also launched a Donkey Welfare Petition calling for stronger protections for donkeys in Tanzania and an end to the barbaric donkey skin trade. The petition gathered over 7,000 signatures and has since been passed to our partner organisation, the Arusha Society for the Protection of Animals (ASPA), who will take it forward to government officials to help advocate for lasting change in 2026.
As this programme now comes to a close, we are proud of the difference made to the lives of countless donkeys and the communities who depend on them. We are grateful to have been able to support this vital work and to stand against the cruelty of the donkey skin trade through both action and advocacy.

International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
From 2026 onwards, our work will be guided by a clearer and more focused mission: to protect and improve the lives of dogs and cats around the world.
This marks a return to our roots, and to the area where we have always made our greatest impact. Over the years, we have been proud to support a wide range of animal welfare initiatives, working alongside specialist partners to help species from donkeys to pangolins and many more. Those collaborations have saved countless lives and remain an important part of our legacy. But as we look to the future, we know that concentrating our expertise and resources where they are strongest will allow us to achieve the greatest and most sustainable change.
Dogs and cats are seriously affected by human population growth, poverty, and lack of access to veterinary care. In many communities they are also the animals that live closest to people, making their welfare inseparable from public health, safety, and wellbeing. By focusing our efforts here, we can tackle the root causes of suffering through high-impact programmes such as humane population management, accessible veterinary treatment, community education, and responsible rehoming. This approach allows us not only to rescue animals in need, but to prevent future suffering before it begins.
We will continue to work in close partnership with local communities, governments, and trusted organisations to ensure that our programmes are culturally appropriate, effective, and built to last.
Collaboration remains central to everything we do, because lasting change is only possible when people on the ground are empowered to be part of the solution. Alongside this, we will keep investing in strong monitoring, training, and support systems so that every pound donated delivers the maximum possible benefit for animals.
Above all, our future is driven by the same values that have always shaped our work: compassion for every dog and cat, determination to help in the most challenging situations, and a commitment to solutions that create long-term impact. By sharpening our focus and building on our deepest expertise, we are setting the stage for a future where far fewer animals are born into suffering - and far more are able to live safe, healthy, and loved lives.

Thank you.

International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year are set out in the statement of financial activities.
Whilst the trustees are looking to increase the general funds, they are pleased with the progress that has been made since the last accounting period and the level of funds raised to ensure the continuation of work and the steps IAPWA are taking to improve financial strength moving forward.
RESERVES POLICY
A policy is set which reflects the trustees' wish to safely commit as much as possible to the primary objectives of the charity whilst retaining financial stability and the potential to respond to new opportunities. The trustees are aiming to work towards a target of three month’s expenditure and are confident that the charity is moving into a better position to be able to achieve this.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation registered as a charity on 17 August 2010 whilst it was a company limited by guarantee.
On 20 July 2021 IAPWA converted to a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO). The charity was established under a constitution which established the objects and powers of the CIO.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 10 to the accounts.
RELATED PARTIES AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS
IAPWA established a corporate entity in Malaysia called IAAB (International Aid for Animals Borneo Sdn. Bhd) to support ongoing and longer term aims in Borneo which IAPWA is the sole shareholder of.
IAPWA work alongside IAPWA Penang, a registered charity in Malaysia, which was established to provide in country support for this project following IAPWA securing the MOU with the municipality on the island (MBPP). An agreement is in place between both organisations with both teams working closely together as a united group to meet shared objectives for this programme.
RERUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
The Trustee Board are recruited from people who have an interest in the objects of the charity. Trustees are appointed by vote by the Trustees. The Trustees work in line with a comprehensive Trustee Policy setting out a detailed framework to support the Board in all areas of their role.

STATEMENT OF REPSONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on 26 / 02 / 2026 and signed on their behalf by

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2025 set out on pages 37 to 50.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Other matters
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. They are pleased with the improvements shown in the accounts since the last period and are confident that the charity will be able to remain operational and further improve financial strength.
