What a place! An old army shooting range changed into one of the most beautiful and professional…read moreanimal shelters I have ever seen! The manager, Gerd, a retired jetfighter pilot, runs and manages the animal shelter since far more than ten years and created a place where poor creatures of any kind will find peace of mind or a new family! If you ever plan a visit to the beautiful city of Neuburg-upon-Donau (wow new city name creation the german one is: Neuburg an der Donau ;-) and you are an animal lover take your time and just visit the shelter. Only a 10 minute drive from city center, in the middle of a wonderful landscape and the woods, you can have a walk around Awesome job the people are doing here AND: its all charity funded!

It was my first visit to an animal shelter in Munich and I must say, they have an impressive setup…read moreand lots of space for the animals to live in and also very caring staff that were friendly and helpful. If you don't speak German this can be a bit difficult however they were kind enough to speak slowly and explain things to us in terms of taking one of the animals from them and what we needed to do. I could have come home with quite a few of the dogs here :-) it is sad to see these wonderful animals in a shelter like this and hard to imagine that people would abandon them. If you are looking for a dog, cat or other pets they have a lot here and it's well worth a visit. It's quite a big space and it was quite busy. They also have a website with all the available pets listed with photos and descriptions. They are quite open with the details and ensue that you are fully aware of the choices available and the decisions you have to make.

From the owner: Der Tierschutzverein München e.V. ist einer der größten als gemeinnützig Tierschutzvereine…read moreDeutschlands und seit 1842 führend in der nationalen Tierschutzbewegung. In unserem Tierheim werden auf unserem 5,8 Hektar großen Anwesen jährlich rund 8.500 Haus-, Wild- und Nutztiere in Not aufgenommen, pflegerisch und tierärztlich versorgt und an neue Plätze vermittelt. Einige nicht mehr vermittelbare Tiere werden auf unserem idyllisch gelegenen Gnadenhof Kirchasch bei Erding langfristig betreut. Etwa 70% der Haustieren werden bei uns im Jahr vermittelt, 30% warten etwas länger auf ein neues Zuhause. Außer für kommunale Tierschutzaufgaben setzt sich der Tierschutzverein München e.V. - mit einem Stamm von rund 12.000 Mitgliedern, zahlreichen Förderern und ehrenamtlichen Helfern in etlichen Tierschutzprojekten - auch in Kooperation mit anderen Tierschutzorganisationen, nachhaltig für das Wohl der Tiere ein. Unsere Tierschutzarbeit finanzieren wir hauptsächlich durch Spende
