Published focus

Animal Friends Jogja (AFJ) describes itself as an animal welfare organisation working to improve animal welfare through proactive programmes. Its website lists campaign, adoption, rescue, education, spay and neuter, and animal sponsorship programmes. AFJ also describes itself as a founding member of the Dog Meat Free Indonesia coalition, which raises the issue of the dog and cat meat trade.

Understanding its work

Active campaigns listed include Dog Meat Free Indonesia, ending travelling dolphin circuses, care for carriage horses, cage-free farming and a ban on masked dancing monkeys. Its education programme, “Temanku Alam dan Satwa”, is aimed at young people. AFJ explains that rescued animals stay in a halfway house with limited space while they await adoption.

Before you contact

AFJ states that it is not a shelter and cannot process every report. People reporting a case are asked to provide photos or video and their own details, and to stay involved through to adoption or fostering. Its location is not published; visits are by email appointment after reading the FAQ. Inclusion here is not a partnership or an assurance that a case will be handled.
