“Verein zur Förderung geretteter Tiere” encourages, facilitates and undertakes projects for the rescue of animals of all species, as well as working for the advancement of animal welfare to ensure an improved quality of life for all animals. We believe that humans have a responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of all forms of life on earth.
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN:
Our work includes all kind of animal welfare.
First of all we have Happy's Farm where we take care of animals that have been rescued, with a particular focus on horses that have been saved from slaughter. For all animals in our care we do much more than simply supply their basic needs, we rehabilitate them and the horses are trained.

Outreach “Verein zur Förderung geretteter Tiere“ strive to raise public awareness of our responsibilty to treat animals within our care humanely and to provide for their individual needs. We inform people about the prevention of animal cruelty and abuse and are regularly represented at animal-related events, for example:horse shows, exhibitions and trade shows for pet supplies. We invite schoolchildren and studentsl to “Happy's Farm” and show them how to care for and handle animals, thereby encouraging responsible animal ownership.
We also create and launch petitions in order to highlight animal cruelty issues. For example, a petition to the European Commission against the murder of Dolphins at the Faroe Islands.
