“There are many reasons why so many of us choose to share our lives with a pet -- it's the perfect antidote for loneliness, providing an endless supply of smiles and the certainty of unwavering companionship, and many of us have seen the way a pet can make a family feel whole.”

About us
A.P.R.C.E. Was founded in 2010 in Belgrade, Serbia as a voluntary, non-governmental and non-profit organization with the purpose to promote pet welfare, protect animal rights and help stray dogs and cats. Our priority is to help abandoned or in many cases injured stray animals to rehabilitate and find them an adoptive family. We get them off the street by putting them in foster care or a pet boarding house. We provide vet care, basic check up and treatment immediately and afterward vaccine and spay/neuter, or in some cases special vet care, surgery or similar.
Until now, we found homes for approx 500 abandoned animals and spayed/neutered over 200 of them. Our work depends solely on work of our volunteers and collected donations. Some of our animals are in foster care provided by volunteers, some are accommodated in private payable boarding houses for pets and few are still in the street.
Get involved! You can either donate (food, medicines, dog houses, etc), sponsor our animals or you can do a voluntary work. Click to find out more....
