Emergency aid

Not all pet owners can care for their animals without worry at all times.

Published on January 9, 2026

Symbolic
Rising living costs, illness, or an unexpected stroke of fate puts many people – and therefore their animals – in a difficult situation.
With our "Fill Your Bowl" campaign, we help exactly where it is urgently needed: We support animals of financially burdened owners with food and essential supplies – so that no bowl has to remain empty.
The first "Fill Your Bowl" event of the year took place on January 9th. A sign of solidarity, awareness, and active responsibility in animal welfare.
This campaign demonstrates that animal welfare also means supporting people so that animals can remain with their families. Unbureaucratically. Dignifiedly. Effectively.
Thank you to all the supporters who make this vital emergency aid possible. Together we ensure that animals are cared for even in difficult times.
