Giving animals a second chance in life

The FOUR PAWS sanctuaries offer a safe haven for rescued animals. 

They provide species-appropriate homes for wild animals that have been mistreated, neglected or abandoned in the past and forced to live in poor conditions in private captivity, circuses and zoos. 

After being rescued, many of our animals go through a mental and physical transformation, as they recover from being deprived of their natural needs and instincts for many years.

The FOUR PAWS sanctuaries

FOUR PAWS operates 11 sanctuaries and partner projects for rescued animals across Europe, Jordan, Vietnam, and South Africa.
2024 was an extraordinary year for our sanctuaries: we carried out 36 rescue missions, including an emergency operation to rescue 11 lions trapped by the war in Sudan. Throughout the year, our devoted animal carers provided a species-appropriate life to more than 130 big cats, 85 brown bears, and 46 Asiatic black bears.

Could you help support the rescued animals in our sanctuaries?

With gift aid, your gift of £1 could be worth £1.25 at no extra cost to you.

I understand you will reclaim the tax I've paid on this donation, any I've made in the past four years and any I may make in the future.

To qualify for Gift Aid, I must pay as much UK income and/or captial gains tax as FOUR PAWS UK and the other organisaitons I support claims on my behalf in each tax year.

This is currently 25p on every £1 that I donate. If I pay less tax, I'm responsible for paying the difference. Gift Aid will help fund FOUR PAWS' general work. I can cancel this declaration at any time.
