Registered Charity No: 1118102 (England and Wales).

FOUR PAWS is the global animal welfare organisation for animals under direct human influence, which reveals suffering, rescues animals in need and protects them. Our vision is a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding.

Our bear sanctuaries in Europe and Asia provide a species-appropriate home to bears rescued from cruel practices such as bile farming, bear baiting and private keeping.

Our LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa is home to over 100 big cats, rescued from circuses, barren zoos and private captivity.

We also neuter and treat thousands of stray dogs every year across Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.

In addition to this, our work to end down the dog and cat meat trade has resulted in the closure of slaughter farms and the rescue of dogs and cats in Cambodia and Vietnam.

FOUR PAWS campaigns to reduce animal suffering around the world by strengthening legislation and changing consumer behaviour. Our UK work focuses on stopping the puppy trade, factory farming, and other important issues. Our wide range of projects, campaigns and rescue operations, as well as public information and lobbying work have achieved a lot - but there is much more to be done.
