Mission
Our association believes that humans have a moral duty to protect animals. Our commitment is to protect their dignity and well-being.
We believe that the world is facing a serious canine and feline overpopulation problem, caused by humans; strays’ overpopulation causes both an endemic problem in some territories and the elimination and imprisonment of millions of dogs and cats in shelters all over the world. Therefore, we strive to reduce the uncontrolled births of these animal species, so that as many dogs and cats suitable to live in a home can find a good adoption.
At the same time, in countries in which adoption is not a viable perspective for reasons linked to the animal behavior or local culture, we work to improve as much as possible the quality of life of stray dogs and cats.
These goals can be achieved not only by reducing dog and cat births, but also by improving the canine / feline registry, making the owners aware of their responsibility, striving to obtain an advanced legislation on animal rights and actively collaborating with all stakeholders (such as municipalities, veterinary health units, schools, veterinary associations etc.).

- a harmonious coexistence between men and animals, based on the knowledge of the species that share our Earth with us
- protecting the weak and creating virtuous shared paths between animals in need of protection and human beings

- keep maximum transparency on the financial and operational aspects of its work
