About FOUR PAWS
FOUR PAWS is an international animal welfare charity. Our vision is a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding. Our mission is to be the strong, global and independent voice for animals under human control.

Our national and international aid projects bring rapid and direct assistance to animals in distress. Where necessary, we create habitats satisfying the animals’ needs, such as our bear sanctuaries or the Lionsrock big cat sanctuary in South Africa.
