Our mission is to be the strong, global and independent voice for animals under human control.

Creating sustainable solutions for animals in need

• Touching hearts, changing consumer behaviour

• Driving legal changes

• Building powerful partnerships

We aim to realise these goals through our projects and campaigns, which provide short-term and long-term solutions for animals in need.

Our campaigns

Our campaigns are aimed at creating better living conditions for farm animals, wild animals and companion animals.

As more and more decisions about animal welfare are made at a European level, we focus our efforts increasingly on European policy makers in order to influence their beliefs, in favor of animals.

Our projects

The goal of our national and international projects is to provide direct assistance to animals in need. Our team rescues animals and rehomes them in our sanctuaries, where they can recover them in a natural environment. Simultaneously, we aim to improve the political climate for animal welfare and prevent animal suffering in the future.

Bears

Dancing bears, circus bears and other bears in private captivity suffer greatly. FOUR PAWS has four sanctuaries, in which several bears have found a home for life. We founded and run sanctuaries in Austria, Bulgaria, Germany and Ukraine.

Lions

The appalling conditions which some captive big cats are forced to endure led to the opening of LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa. Rescued big cats are given a safe and natural environment where they can spend the rest of their lives.

Stray Animal Care

Stray dogs and cats roam the streets of many countries around the world, unloved and uncared for. FOUR PAWS works to successfully prevent disease and the uncontrolled reproduction by treating and neutering stray animals.
