We are an animal welfare organisation in Cologne and have made it our mission to counteract the misery and plight of urban pigeons in Cologne. The poor conditions for pigeons in the cities lead to record numbers of starving, injured or sick animals. At our sanctuary, we care for animals in need until they recover and, if they are unable to return to the place where they were found, they are given a protected place in our aviaries for life.

Big V Sanctuary and Hospice is a Vegan Run animal sanctuary, based in Chateauponsac, France. We are a registered non-profit association caring for over 150 residents, both farmed and companion animals, who have been rescued from neglect, mistreatment or slaughter. Our vision is to create a peaceful world for all living beings; a world built on justice and respect, regardless of species. In our hospice, we take care of those nearing the end of their life, with dignity, kindness and respect.

At Teaming, more than 400,000 people Change Lives with €1 a month. For more than 10 years we have been helping all kinds of social causes to get financial help completely free of charge and constantly. Together we have raised more than 60 million euros and, as long as social causes need us, we will continue to support them. With this Teaming Foundation Group we make it possible. Will you join us?
