## Activities

**Objects:** THE OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY (&quot;THE OBJECTS&quot;) ARE:1. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS IN NEED OF CARE AND ATTENTION AND, IN PARTICULAR, TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN RESCUE HOMES OR OTHER FACILITIES FOR THE RECEPTION, CARE AND TREATMENT OF SUCH ANIMALS. 2. TO PROMOTE HUMANE BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS ANIMALS BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATE CARE, PROTECTION, TREATMENT AND SECURITY FOR ANIMALS WHICH ARE IN NEED OF CARE AND ATTENTION BY REASON OF SICKNESS, MALTREATMENT, ABANDONMENT, POOR CIRCUMSTANCES OR ILL USAGE AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC IN MATTERS PERTAINING TO ANIMAL WELFARE IN GENERAL AND THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY AND SUFFERING AMONG ANIMALS. 3. THE MAIN GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF FOCUS FOR THE OBJECTS IS THE SOUTH WEST REGION OF TURKEY FOR ANIMALS THAT A) CANNOT BE PUT BACK ONTO THE STREETS DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS; B) ARE IN POUNDS AND SHELTERS AND AT RISK OF DEATH; C) HAVE BEEN ABANDONED BY THEIR OWNERS; AND D) ARE STREET ANIMALS THAT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE HELP.

**Activities:** 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.
