The ACT team work tirelessly to rescue suffering animals around the clock, get them the emergency medical treatment they need, provide them with quality care, and find them the very best loving homes—just like we did for Cowie, here, and his brother, Wolfie. Both pups were rescued with painful and possibly life-threatening injuries.
And it’s only possible thanks to the kindness of people like you who give what you can to ensure this vital work can continue, day in, day out, 365 days a year. Please donate so more stray puppies like Cowie and Wolfie get the lifesaving help they need and deserve.
Unlike other donation forms on the ACT website, the one on this page has the monthly donation option pre-selected. We of course very gratefully accept one-off donations too, as they also are a huge help in transforming the lives of suffering strays in Taiwan.
If you prefer to make a one-off gift today, simply uncheck the box in the form that says ‘Make this donation every month.’
You can see your donor history and easily change any subscriptions using our Donor Dashboard.
ACT received a message along with a photo of a young puppy with a horrific injury: a rubber band was stuck on his neck and slowly slicing into it all the way around. We knew he must be suffering and one of our rescuers immediately drove 2 hours to get to the spot where the pup lived with his mum and siblings.
It took nearly two weeks of driving and trying, covering thousands of kilometers and nearly 150 hours. The stray family was living inside a factory site that wouldn’t allow us in to rescue the pup, so our rescuer set up a humane trap in the spot where the kind locals feed the dogs, and waited.
Finally, our rescuer’s patience paid off, and the weakening pup plucked up the courage to walk into the trap—and there was a huge bonus: he was followed by one of his brothers who was only able to slowly hobble in because one of his front legs was broken. The two siblings exemplify what it is to grow up as a stray dog in Taiwan: it’s usually a short life filled with danger and pain. And that’s why the ACT team have been rescuing dogs, cats. and wild animals here since 1999.
The majority of the dogs that ACT rescues are maimed by poachers’ illegal leg-hold traps and wire snares. As a result, we probably care for the largest number of amputee dogs in the world: currently 52. After they recover from surgery, our rehoming team endeavours to find loving homes for all the adoptable dogs and cats—like Cowie, here, who recently went on an adoption tryout with lady who first reported his plight.
However, not all rescued animals are adoptable, so ACT also provides lifelong, quality sanctuary care when needed. Always, we consider every dog, cat, or wild animal as an individual, which means we do the very best we can for each and every one who passes through our care. We are no-kill.
ACT is the only registered charity performing animal rescues in northern Taiwan around the clock—and often in very difficult situations. As a result, we save the lives of animals who had almost no hope and give them the best life we can. Very importantly, being a small nonprofit, the bulk of our income is spent directly on the animals, making ACT a great animal charity to donate to.
Yes! These life-changing animal rescues are vital, and I want to donate so they can always continue.
Your donation is important, as it will help ensure suffering animals in Taiwan can continue to have their lives transformed, just like Xiao Niu.

His caring, knowledge and his consideration for animals is second to none. Both my dogs were rescued by Sean and his team and before they were adopted by our family the team made sure they were up to date with their shots, chipped and ready for their forever home.
Sean followed up with training and valuable advice for maintaining two healthy and loving pups. Our family is complete since we took on two wonderful dogs.
I would recommend ACT as a professional and hard working organization that truly is compassionate about animal welfare! read less - 30-10-2021
