• Neutering and Rehoming of Street Animals: We prepare special adoption calls, promotional campaigns, and informative materials for animals living under disadvantaged conditions to support their rehoming and well-being.
  
  
• Rehabilitation and Care: We ensure that unadoptable animals are placed in safe living environments, establish volunteer caregiver networks, and develop support programs for ongoing care expenses.
  
  
• Veterinary, Medical Assistance, and Palliative Care Support: We collaborate with veterinarians to provide regular health monitoring, medical treatment, and palliative care to improve the quality of life of animals with chronic conditions.
  
  
• Public Awareness and Visibility: Through video content, storytelling, social media campaigns, and digital posters, we raise public awareness and challenge social biases against elderly and disabled animals.

Shelter systems and adoption practices often operate with a logic that prioritizes healthy, young, and “well-behaved” animals.
Those who fall outside this frame — such as elderly animals, those who have lost a limb, are under ongoing treatment, have experienced emotional trauma, or live with chronic illnesses — often become “invisible,” both in adoption and care support processes.

The “Rescue My Companion” campaign aims to build a framework of solidarity that directly challenges this systemic exclusion of animals who are most often left behind.

This campaign is a call shaped by an understanding that does not limit the concept of a “companion being” to animals who merely accompany humans.
It is grounded in the principle that all animals with whom we share life have an equal right to live.

The “Rescue My Companion” campaign is built on an approach that broadens the meaning of companionship beyond emotional closeness to humans. It is guided by the belief that every animal we coexist with has an equal right to life, and aims to make visible those who have become vulnerable due to their living conditions.

The campaign focuses on ensuring continuous care for animals who are elderly, disabled, chronically ill, or have been living in shelters for extended periods with limited chances of survival. It advocates for making invisible needs visible, uniting social responsibility with individual awareness, and building collective networks of care.

“Rescue My Companion” goes beyond an approach that seeks only to protect animals from rights violations. It presents a life-affirming and transformative model of advocacy — one that strives to improve the quality of animals’ lives, build supportive social and institutional structures, and strengthen interspecies solidarity.
