One Gift Can Change Everything

International Animal Rescue owes its very existence to one extraordinary act of kindness. In 1988, a single gift left in a supporter's Will enabled us to begin rescuing animals from suffering – that first gift changed everything.

Since then, we've helped end the cruel tradition of dancing bears in India, rescued and rehabilitated orangutans and other primates in Indonesia, cared for injured wildlife in Costa Rica, and protected countless animals and their habitats.

Your kind gift can help animals in so many ways:

Rescue animals from cruelty, neglect and exploitation

Protect endangered species and their habitats

Support veterinary care and rehabilitation

Help communities live alongside wildlife

Conserve vital ecosystems for future generations

Every gift, big or small, builds a brighter future for animals.

"I would urge anybody to think about the long term survival of animals. Let’s help their survival. International Animal Rescue have been very responsive in the legacy I’ve placed and I’ve been very impressed with the organisation since I’ve been associated with them."

Annabelle Boone, IAR Legator
