AfA Dog and Cat Coalition (DACC)

Joining forces for the dogs and cats of Asia

The AfA Dog and Cat Coalition (DACC) provides a centralized space to address dog and cat welfare issues in Asia by bringing together organizations of all sizes, from grassroots organizations to multinational NGOs, and fostering collaborations to allow for wider impact. 

DACC was established in response to conversations with different network members regarding the challenges they face in their work for dogs and cats, including population control, the dog and cat meat trade, and public awareness.

DACC's Activities

  • We support our members through networking opportunities, facilitating regular meetings, events, and developing valuable resources. 

  • DACC keeps abreast of dog- and cat-related news across the region and provide regular updates to members. 

  • We amplify the important work of our members to increase awareness and visibility for critical issues affecting dog and cat welfare in Asia.

  • DACC offers practical support such as providing resources, or writing appeal letters to the government on critical issues regarding dogs and cats.
