The booming demand for 'designer dogs' and oodles for pets have seen the rise of unscrupulous puppy breeders who treat dogs as commodities and subject them to cruel keeping conditions. On the other spectrum, millions of others struggle to live in neglected homes or live on the streets – at risk of being killed as 'feral' or 'pest' or worse, for meat.
FOUR PAWS supports shelters and dog owners with educational programsand information that promote responsible dog care. In our work to create a kinder world for stray animals, we also help communities, municipalities, and thousands of dogs through our global Stray Animal Care projects.
