About PUKKY

About us

Patileri Uluslararası Koruma Kurtarma ve Yaşatma Derneği: a registered association, a shelter on the edge of Ankara and people who do not look away.

What we do

We protect street animals, treat and vaccinate them, neuter them and give them a safe place to live. Our shelter currently cares for around 350 animals with veterinary care and food.

What began with a few dogs is today a facility with established routines, veterinary care and a network of helpers in Turkey and Germany. Placeholder: the association's history to be added by the management.

Our mission

To ensure that animals live in a safe and loving home.
