Fans for animals Foundation
The non-profit organization Fans for Animals was founded seven years ago, and in the past period they have managed to save countless animals from illegal breeders, dog fighting organizers, animal torturers and people capable of other atrocities. In the meantime, cooperation with human rights organizations, authorities, mayors, civil guards, and clerks is getting better and closer, but they still have a lot of work to do - unfortunately.
The fans are connected to many shelters dealing with the protection, reception and care of animals, one of them is the Noé Állatotthon in the 17th century. district, on the outskirts of the capital. Roughly a thousand animals have been sheltered in the eight and a half hectare area, approximately half of them dogs and cats, but in addition to various domestic animals, hens, goats, lambs and pigs, wild animals such as emu, llama and badger can also be found.
