2021

The FOUR PAWS year 2021 in review

Putting together this video made us realise how much of a difference we can make together. Every single animal that has been saved through your support and our work is worth all the hardships, resistance and throwbacks we encounter in our daily business. However, everything starts and ends with you. Not a single frame in this video would exist, and not a single life would have been saved if it wasn't for your support. We want to end this year with saying thank you. Now please have a look on what you have accomplished together with us.
