Our work is motivated by a deep conviction and belief in animal rights as a natural and fundamental principle.
We are an international non-profit group of volunteers committed to the protection of homeless dogs in Saint-Petersburg and Russia.
In cooperation with a number of private groups, public organizations and veterinarians, we rescue, sterilize, vaccinate, chip, and improve the welfare of animals, providing all necessary medical and foster care while finding permanent homes for stray dogs rescued from the streets.
We believe that in a country where the law system doesn't keep pace with the times and new demands, we activists should stand out as a courageous and selfless example. One should remember that an intellectual idea often surpasses existing laws. Laws appear later if they appear at all: However, no idea can really protect animals; only the law can do it.
We know about the existing negative attitude towards stray dogs and other animals and we know about the incompleteness of the current law system, which allows human cruelty.
The government is trying to reform and increase the present level of knowledge, or at least agrees that one should exist. We have studied the history of countries that demonstrate high levels of humanitarian ideas and work.
In order to improve the current situation, we maintain regular official correspondence with the state and city authorities. Together we've managed to achieve some sensible results.
We firmly believe in the power of the law and in the fact that the law can change people's attitude towards animals.
We are convinced of the rightness and rationality of our work and moral principles.
We place our hope in the people, who are not indifferent to the fate of animals suffering from man's cruelty, irresponsibility and indifference.
