Pfotenkrieger

Pfotenkrieger e.V. is a German animal-protection association focused on informed, transparent and sustainable advocacy. Its work goes beyond rescuing individual dogs: the organisation highlights issues affecting animals and examines how animal welfare is practised, including concerns about questionable charities and animal protection as a business. It promotes measures such as sterilisation programmes and protecting dogs in their countries of origin, while critically discussing the import of dogs from abroad.

The association provides information and commentary on dog-related subjects, animal-welfare policy, adoption, breed questions, vaccination and sterilisation. Through articles, research and public projects, it aims to encourage debate and challenge misinformation. Its activities have included demonstrations, information stands, a project supporting homeless people and their dogs, and collaboration with other groups. The website also features news, practical adoption guidance and opinion pieces presented through its “Spitze Schnauze” platform.

Pfotenkrieger welcomes members, volunteers and independent supporters. There is no fixed membership fee; projects are decided collectively and funded voluntarily.
