Assistance during emergency

The essential part of our mission with animals is to offer services and help to their humans in order to prevent abandonment as much as possible. We are aware that each of us can experience a difficult time or find ourselves in an emergency situation. And in this context, stress and distress increase when we have an animal to take care of.

What services do you offer at times of crisis?

In order to help the most vulnerable communities, Proanima offers temporary accommodation of an animal if its owner needs it. Also, we can give food for animals to citizens with little or no income.

Who should contact Proanima?

Intermediary organizations or professionals such as social workers, homeless shelters, medical personnel, police services or the Red Cross can contact us in case people need help with their pet.

• Emergency hospitalization
