Preventing stray animal populations, together<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Too Many Puppies<\/strong><\/em> was founded on the belief that tackling the stray animal population requires more than responding once the problem has already emerged.<\/p>\n

Spaying and neutering means reducing the number of animals born and taking action before more animals are abandoned, enter shelters or are forced to live on the streets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Through this first national grant program, \u20ac40,000 is being made available to six local organisations<\/strong>, strengthening the work of those on the ground every day and turning funding into practical prevention initiatives.<\/p>\n

This work starts in local communities. Through cooperation between organisations, veterinarians and public authorities, it can help build a more effective and sustainable approach to managing stray animal populations over time.<\/p>\n

The grant program is promoted by Save the Dogs and Other Animals ETS Foundation <\/strong><\/em>and Squadra 4 Zampe ETS Foundation<\/strong><\/em>, with the participation of Empethy S.r.l. Societ\u00e0 Benefit<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Preventing stray animal populations, together<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Too Many Puppies<\/strong><\/em> was founded on the belief that tackling the stray animal population requires more than responding once the problem has already emerged.<\/p>\n

Spaying and neutering means reducing the number of animals born and taking action before more animals are abandoned, enter shelters or are forced to live on the streets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Through this first national grant program, \u20ac40,000 is being made available to six local organisations<\/strong>, strengthening the work of those on the ground every day and turning funding into practical prevention initiatives.<\/p>\n

This work starts in local communities. Through cooperation between organisations, veterinarians and public authorities, it can help build a more effective and sustainable approach to managing stray animal populations over time.<\/p>\n
