Therefore, we strive to reduce the uncontrolled births of these animal species, so that as many dogs and cats suitable to live in a home can find a good adoption. At the same time, in countries in which adoption is not a viable perspective for reasons linked to the animal behavior or local culture, we work to improve as much as possible the quality of life of\u00a0stray dogs and cats. These goals can be achieved not only by reducing dog and cat births, but also by improving the canine \/ feline registry, making the owners aware of their responsibility, striving to obtain an advanced legislation on animal rights and actively collaborating with all stakeholders (such as municipalities, veterinary health units, schools, veterinary associations etc.). https:\/\/youtu.be\/gq2osIm-rXc Save the Dogs and other Animals, with its involvement with [&hellip;]","og_url":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/mission\/","og_site_name":"Save the Dogs and other Animals ETS","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SavetheDogsSTD?ref=bookmarks","article_modified_time":"2025-01-20T17:26:45+00:00","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@SavetheDogsSTD","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"15 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/mission\/","url":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/mission\/","name":"Mission - Save the Dogs and other Animals ETS","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/#website"},"datePublished":"2014-09-08T15:56:50+00:00","dateModified":"2025-01-20T17:26:45+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/mission\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/mission\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/mission\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Mission","item":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/chi-siamo\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Mission"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/","name":"Save the Dogs and other Animals ETS","description":"Save the Dogs ha come mission la prevenzione del randagismo e del sovrappopolamento canino e felino attraverso la sterilizzazione e la salvaguardia degli animali da compagnia.","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18662"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":987518158,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18662\/revisions\/987518158"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/987511032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.savethedogs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
