Committed to defending animal rights and protecting animals from cruelty and abuse worldwide

OIPA - *International Organization for Animal Protection -* is a global NGO committed to defending animal rights and dedicated to the protection of animals from cruelty, abuse and exploitation worldwide**.**

OIPA is dedicated to creating a world free from cruelty. Our mission is to promote the respect and protection of all animals, regardless of species, and to work towards a world where animals are treated with kindness and compassion.

We actively engage in national and international initiatives to address a wide range of animal welfare issues, including:

- **Caring for Animals in Need:** OIPA rescues, rehabilitates, and provides care for injured, sick, and abandoned animals. We also support stray animals and provide assistance to those in shelters and sanctuaries.
- **Ending Animal Cruelty and Exploitation:** We advocate for the abolition of fur farming, intensive livestock practices, and animal testing. We work to improve the living conditions of animals.
- **Protecting Wildlife:** We fight against hunting, wildlife trade, and the confinement of animals in zoos and aquariums.
- **Educating and Advocating:** We organize educational programs to raise awareness and empower individuals to take action, promoting ethical treatment of animals.  We participate in protests, demonstrations, and legal actions to advance animal rights legislation and policies. 

*By combining direct action, advocacy, and education, OIPA strives to build a compassionate and sustainable future for all animals.*

OIPA's headquarters in Italy oversees operations across over 110 provinces, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and authorized animal control officers. These volunteers respond to reports of animal cruelty and abuse from citizens.

OIPA's global network empowers volunteers worldwide to address local animal welfare issues. Through collaborations with our member associations in various countries, we can have a significant impact on countless animals worldwide.

Often, we remain unaware of the conditions faced by animals in other nations and how strays are treated in specific places. However, when we uncover the truth, it becomes evident that the list of countries where animal welfare falls below even the minimum standard is alarmingly long. Strays are often not recognized as sentient beings capable of feeling emotions such as joy and happiness, as well as fear, pain, and sadness. Instead, they are viewed merely as “a nuisance to public health and safety,” leading to inhumane, cruel, and barbaric methods of control.

In the view of these extremely painful realities and considering the so many calls for help that OIPA International receives daily from its delegations and member league associations, the organization has decided to **launch a project** to give voice and offer a tangible help to **stray dogs and cats** who have no choice, and invisible continue to suffer every day around the world.

**Supporting our project “SAVE A STRAY”, you will help us with:**

🥫 **FOOD** wet, dry and specific food for animals;

🩹 **VET CARE AND TREATMENT** provide veterinary care and assistance to strays in need – including spaying and neutering, core/rabies vaccinations, medicines and medications, parasite treatments, internal/external/complex surgeries, diagnosis and examinations, therapies and recovery, blood/other tests;

🏡 **FOSTER AND ADOPTION** pay relocation, foster and rehome of stray animals suitable for adoption, offering them a chance of a better life;

📘 **EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES** prepare educational programmes and informative material addressed to communities, schools and municipalities regarding the topic of responsible pet ownership, and the correct approach and management of local stray animals;

Your Help Can Save a Stray

Lebanon, already struggling with economic turmoil and political instability, faces a growing humanitarian crisis due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Palestine. Innocent animals, including dogs, will be soon trapped in the crossfire, suffering from neglect and abuse.

Due to the imminent threat of war, OIPA - International Organization for Animal Protection - has urgently received a request to **help evacuate 30 of the most vulnerable dogs to Italy**. These dogs are currently located in Bzebdine, Hemlaya, and Batroun.

"Back To Life Dog Rescue," a registered Italian association led by Lebanese activist Pascale, is working tirelessly to rescue these vulnerable creatures. Despite the lack of animal protection laws in Lebanon, the association has been assisting 50 dogs, including 170 at the "The Shouf Dog Shelter."

Once necessary paperwork and veterinary procedures are completed, the dogs will be transported to the airport for their cargo flight to Paris. In Paris, Pascale and volunteers will meet them and escort them to northern Italy, where they will be placed in loving homes.

We understand that this journey will be challenging for our four-legged friends, and the costs are significant. However, we cannot abandon them to the horrors of war.

**Your small contribution can make a big difference in saving the lives of these innocent animals**
❤️ Please donate generously to help us bring these dogs to safety ❤️
