We provide 24/7 emergency rescue services for injured, abused, and sick street animals, saving over 100 lives every month.

Healing & Rehab

We offer physical medical treatment and emotional rehabilitation in a fear-free environment to help traumatized animals recover and thrive.

Permanent Adoption

We connect rescued animals with loving permanent homes through social media and public events, ensuring their long-term happiness and well-being.

We implement humane TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release) programs to manage street animal populations and promote safe coexistence within our communities.

Who We Are

More than a shelter — a second chance at life.

JFK Animal Rescue & Shelter is Pakistan’s first organisation dedicated to the complete rehabilitation of abused, neglected, and stray animals. We go beyond food and safety — our animals receive physical treatment, emotional healing, and behavioural training from foreign-qualified trainers and animal whisperers, preparing them for loving forever homes.

Founded on the belief that together we can make a difference, JFK follows the Trap, Neuter & Vaccinate (TNV) model and actively spreads awareness in schools and rural communities across Pakistan. With over 155 animals rehomed this year alone, we remain committed to standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Our current projects

On the ground, every single day.

From emergency rescues to long-term rehabilitation — here is what Team JFK is actively working on right now.

Collaboration

Working with those in power — for animals.

JFK Animal Rescue & Shelter has collaborated with Punjab Police to bring meaningful, institutional change for animals across Pakistan.

01

Punjab Police · Sniffer Dogs

Adoption policy for retired sniffer dogs

Punjab Police utilises the natural scent-detection abilities of sniffer dogs for crime investigation and law enforcement. These highly trained animals serve throughout their working lives — however, once they become old or unfit for duty, they were previously subjected to euthanasia.

JFK Animal Rescue & Shelter initiated a collaboration with Punjab Police, formally requesting the Inspector General of Punjab Police to discontinue this practice.

Through a structured long-term plan and official approvals, it was agreed that retired sniffer dogs would no longer be euthanised. Instead, they would be responsibly rehomed and adopted by suitable families, allowing them to live the remainder of their lives in safety and care.

This initiative has contributed to saving hundreds of service dogs from euthanasia and has promoted a more humane retirement system for working animals.

02

Punjab Police · Lahore

Establishment of PARC — Police Animal Rescue Center

Another landmark collaboration with Punjab Police led to the establishment of the Police Animal Rescue Center (PARC) in Lahore. JFK developed and presented a comprehensive proposal to the Inspector General of Punjab Police for setting up PARC offices in Lahore, Gujranwala, and Rawalpindi.

Since its inception, PARC has been actively working in coordination with JFK to address animal cruelty through legal action, rescue operations, and emergency response services.

In addition to legal interventions, PARC facilitates the rescue, treatment, and transportation of injured and abused animals directly to JFK Animal Shelter — where they receive food, medical care, and safe long-term shelter.

Testimonials

Real people. Real change. Real
second chances.

Hear from the families, volunteers, and supporters whose lives — and their animals’ lives — were changed forever by JFK.

We adopted Biscuit from JFK after seeing him on their Instagram page. He had been rescued from the streets with a broken leg, but by the time we met him, he was healthy, gentle, and so full of love. The team at JFK made the whole adoption process so easy and personal — they genuinely cared about where he was going. He has been with us for eight months now and we cannot imagine life without him.

Ali Raza

I reported a stray dog in my street who had been badly injured in a road accident. JFK responded within hours — their ambulance came, picked him up, and kept us updated on his recovery. A month later, they told us he had found a forever home. I was in tears. I had never seen any organisation in Pakistan move that fast or care that deeply. This is what real animal rescue looks like.

Aryan Ali

I have been volunteering with JFK for over a year and it has been one of the most meaningful things I have ever done. The dedication of the team — especially during the Multan blast relief and the floods — showed me what true compassion looks like in action. These are people who show up regardless of resources or recognition. If you want to make a real difference for animals in Pakistan, this is where you start.

Sameer Khan

We sponsored a rescued cat named Luna through JFK for three months while she recovered from severe injuries. The updates we received — photos, vet reports, progress notes — made us feel like we were truly part of her journey. When she was finally adopted, it felt like a personal victory. Sponsoring an animal through JFK is one of the most transparent and rewarding ways I have found to support animal welfare in Pakistan.

FAQs

Your questions matter — because so do
the animals

Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most often about our work, adoptions, donations, and how you can help.

What is JFK Animal Rescue & Shelter and how did it start?
JFK Animal Rescue & Shelter was founded in memory of Kiki — a rescued street dog who was brutally killed during a culling operation in Lahore. Her death became the turning point that inspired our founder, Zufishan Anushay, to take action. What began as grief and outrage transformed into a lifelong mission to protect vulnerable animals. Today, JFK is Pakistan’s first organisation dedicated to the complete physical and emotional rehabilitation of abused, neglected, and stray animals — registered under SECP (CUIN 0176822) and tax-exempt under FBR Act 2(36)c.
You can report a stray or suffering animal through our Report a Case page on this website, by calling us at +92 330 526 3319, or by emailing info@jfkanimalrescueandshelter.com. Our ambulance operates around the clock and we respond to all reports promptly. In cases where we cannot physically reach the animal due to geographical constraints, our expert veterinary team provides remote medical advice and financial support to help the animal receive proper care.
At JFK, we believe every animal deserves a home where they are treated as family. Our adoption process involves carefully matching animals with the right families — taking into account the animal’s temperament, recovery stage, and your home environment. We prioritise keeping rescued animals in our shelter rather than releasing them back to the streets, and we work hard to ensure each animal is physically and emotionally ready before rehoming. Visit our Adopt a Rescue page to browse animals currently available.
Every rupee donated to JFK goes directly toward rescuing, treating, and rehabilitating animals in need. This includes emergency medical care, food, shelter, surgery, and the ongoing operational costs of our 24/7 ambulance and veterinary clinic. JFK is a legally registered non-profit (CUIN 0176822, NTN A290110-4) and is fully tax-exempt under FBR Act 2(36)c — so your donation also qualifies for a tax deduction in Pakistan.
There are several ways to get involved with JFK. You can volunteer at our adoption events, participate in livestock and pet market awareness campaigns, help with rescue work on the ground, or foster a rescued animal temporarily at your home while we find them a permanent family. You can also raise funds for the shelter to support the continuous needs of food, medicine, and animal care. Visit our Volunteer at JFK page or follow us on social media to stay updated on upcoming events and volunteer needs.
