RRGT is Infurnity’s long-term charity partner, dedicated to the study, rescue, and education of Taiwan’s birds of prey, especially crested goshawks, mountain hawk-eagles, black kites, and oriental honey buzzards. They focus on threats such as poisoning, roadkill, and window collisions.
Their base, the Grass Mountain Raptor Center in Taipei’s Yangmingshan, features permanent and rotating exhibits. The center is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 11 AM to 5 PM. On the third Saturday of each month, they host “Open Wings,” a guided birdwatching event using public transportation.
All proceeds from the “Infurnity Charity Raffle” support raptor conservation. Their rescue station cares for over 200 injured raptors each year. Donations and purchases of raptor-themed merchandise help sustain their efforts to protect these precious lives.
Taiwan Detection Dog Association was established in 2018. It is Taiwan’s member organization of the International Rescue Dog Organisation (IRO), a nationwide non-profit, and the country’s only multi-purpose working dog association.
With search and rescue teams across northern, central, and southern Taiwan, the association supports disaster response, missing person searches, wildlife conservation, and international cooperation. It carries out around 60 search and tracking missions each year while promoting the professional training and development of working dogs in Taiwan.
As an earthquake-prone island, Taiwan depends on search and rescue dogs as a vital part of its emergency response. Since the 921 Earthquake, rescue dogs have played an increasingly important role in disaster relief. Thanks to their exceptional agility and keen sense of smell, they help locate survivors more quickly and continue to save lives in rescue missions across Taiwan.

Meet the Taiwan Detection Dog Association and learn how their dogs help with missing person searches, disaster response, rescue dog certification, and more.
They also work on wildlife conservation, helping protect endangered species such as the leopard cat and pangolin through tracking and conservation projects.
Best of all, you’ll get to meet the dogs in person and watch a live training demonstration!
