The association aims to rescue, take in, and care for animals in need, especially those that can no longer be kept due to their age, lack of space, or other reasons. The animals taken in are provided with a permanent home until the end of their natural lives; further placement is excluded. The association ensures species-appropriate housing, care, and support, allowing the animals to enjoy a dignified old age without any performance requirements.
