Anima - Society for the Protection of Animals in Macau

Anima is a non-profit organization that promotes adequate treatment among the animals, the prevention and suppression towards any kind of animal cruelty, as well as any other activity concerning the animals rights and welfare.

Anima is the first animal association to be founded in Macau as a reaction to non-existence laws concerning the animal well-beings in Macau. We provide a wide range of support for animals, owners and the general population in Macau including animal shelter (adoptions, foster program, godparents program), rescue program, Special Protection Program (which aims to animals that we unfortunately cannot welcome on our premises due to the lack of space) and education, just to name but a few. Anima is fully devoted in promoting the protection and welfare of all living beings in Macau. Although there is no type of legislation concerning their welfare (pet shops, racing dogs/horses health …), we do our best to campaign and lobby for better legislation in collaboration with various organizations and authorities. Within our endless fights to pursue the Macau’s Government to make some changes concerning the animals welfare, we were focused in putting an end to the Macau Canidrome, where every month approximately 30 young and healthy dogs were being killed.
