What is The MGF?
The MGF is a charity organisation which represents non-profit shelters who care for and rescue the animals on a daily basis, which are seen on this site.
We are not a rescue shelter, nor do we directly look after these animals, however, we provide a crucial support and networking role to relieve our partners of the time, pressure and logistics of facilitating adoptions, whilst also ensuring this is a cost-free process for them every time.
The MGF handles all communication with the shelters and arranges any necessary processes on their behalf through our trusted partners; making the whole thing efficient and easy for all, every time.
This allows the awesome volunteers on the ground to spend more time with the animals and continue their tireless work in rescuing and rehabilitating.
Meet the Team
We are all about the animals. However, the people behind this work matter. We believe you should know who we are, what drives us, and why we’ve dedicated ourselves to this cause.
Below, our volunteer team members share a bit about themselves and why they care about this cause.
