On Malta you will unfortunately not only find the sun and the sea, but also a lot of stray animals. Despite the fact that the island has been a member of the EU since May 1, 2004, animal welfare simply doesn't exist there. For lots of the Maltese people, animals count for nothing; they regard animals as "objects" - and objects feel no pain and with objects one
can do as one likes.

Our charity's aim is to support the unfortunately very few animal welfare workers on Malta in their  devoted struggle to help these poor creatures to find new, good homes.

On the following pages we show you dogs and cats, which have already left the worst behind them. Some of them are already in foster homes in Germany, the others are still waiting for their chance on Malta.

Please never forget that each animal has its own - often not very easy past - about which we often know very little. Mostly they are strays, which were left with our fellow animal welfare supporters on Malta, or have been picked up from the roads by them.

During the time the animals spent in their new foster homes, before they are rehomed, they have the chance to regain their trust in humans. With lots of tender loving care we help them to get over their traumatic experiences. In our foster homes the animals are part of the family. This gives them the best chance to recover mentally as well as physically.

All animals are vaccinated, carry a microchip and have a pet passport. They have been tested for Mediterranean diseases and in most cases have been neutered.
