Alyarz Pet Club (APC) is a volunteer run, non-profit organization, duly registered as a charity on December 2021, that aims at helping as many animals in need as possible.

Our center is more like a sanctuary than a traditional shelter facility. We provide personalized care for special needs cases, and our animal residents come in many different shapes and sizes. Our unique approach distinguishes us from other associations. We provide personalized care to each of our rescues, prioritizing their happiness and overall well-being as if they were living in a home environment. The economic situation in Lebanon has led to an increase in animal abandonment, leaving many domesticated animals to fend for themselves on the streets. This is where we come in, offering a safe and nurturing environment for these animals in need. A significant number of our animals require special attention due to their special needs, as many have been subjected to different forms of abuse and have suffered from severe illnesses that were at times life-threatening. We are committed to providing them with the care they need to recover and regain their health, and we do not give up on them, even if it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to achieve. APC currently houses hundreds of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds and chickens. Our topmost priority is to offer them a fulfilling life, and we are proud to be a no-kill facility, meaning that our residents are cared for until they find their forever homes. But unfortunately, finding homes for them in Lebanon is not always easy, as they are often deemed “unadoptable", and the current financial crisis has only compounded the issue. Many people have become frustrated to the point where they take out their frustrations on stray animals on the streets. Additionally, finding homes for our animals abroad is always a challenging and complex process.

Our monthly expenses typically range from USD 7,000 to USD 10,000, and with donations becoming increasingly scarce, we are in desperate need of assistance in order to continue providing our residents with the exceptional care they deserve.
