Vafa Animal Shelter

Vafa is the first animal shelter in Iran that was founded in 2003 by Fatemeh Motamedi to take care of dogs who were sick or needed care. Before that, there was sadly no such institution in Iran.
Vafa is a charitable NGO, run by grassroots donations. It runs two animal shelters in Hashtgerd and Qazvin, housing more than 1800 dogs.
As a non-for-profit charity, Vafa has no links to any political or religious organization.
We aim to build a better world where humans and animals co-exist.
Cultural and awareness work, aimed at gathering support for animals, is our main method.
