Animal Rescue Cambodia

Description

Animal Rescue Cambodia is an animal welfare organization based in Cambodia's capital city Phnom Penh. We are committed to sustainable and long-lasting change for the animals of Cambodia.

Stray animals dominate the streets and the problem continues to rise. Scarce food, overcrowding and infectious diseases all contribute to a high mortality rate for these animals. The local community is unable to care for the animals which has lead to an increase in the spread of disease and a trend to sell animals to the cruel and barbaric meat trade.

To effectively address these issues our approach threefold. First, we are tackling overpopulation through spay and neutering programs. Second, we are educating local communities and schools about animal welfare. Finally, we are improving the quality of veterinary care through training. We believe changing human behavior is the key to our work as it is the only way to truly improve the future of Cambodia’s animals.
