Become a "Best Friend" to Albania's Animals

At Animals Need Me, we care for over 150 rescued cats and dogs who rely on us every single day, but our work extends far beyond the shelter walls.

We're building a future where every animal in Albania is safe, valued, and protected:

• We offer humane education for children and their parents, planting the seeds of a generation that will make Albania safer and kinder for all animals.
• We're lobbying for policy change at every level of government to create and enforce laws that protect animals nationwide, from ending mass poisonings to establishing animal welfare standards.
• On the ground, we're the last resort for the most vulnerable: the injured, the abused, the abandoned, and those left behind with nowhere else to turn.

Best Friends like you allow us to show up for them all, providing daily care for the animals in our shelter while also dreaming big: dreaming of an Albania where streets aren't filled with abandoned animals, where cruelty is prosecuted, and where compassion is the norm, not the exception.

The reality: Shelter care requires daily support.

From providing life-saving medical treatments to ensuring every animal has a full belly, food and medical care are our two biggest expenses. Without consistent support from compassionate people like you, these vulnerable animals would have nowhere else to turn.

By becoming a Best Friend of Animals Need Me, you provide the reliable, long-term support we need to keep our shelter running, our animals thriving, and our advocacy work advancing. Your monthly gift creates lasting change:

💉 $10/month covers a life-saving vaccine
😋 $30/month provides a 15kg bag of food to keep these adorable beasts well-nourished
👩🏻‍⚕️ $50/month helps fund spay/neuter campaigns to prevent countless unwanted litters
❤️‍🩹 $100/month allows us to care for 10 animals in our shelter for an entire month

On average, we need $8,000/month to cover all the shelter's expenses: food, caregivers, electricity, and basic medical care, the foundation that allows us to also fight for systemic change.

You're not just supporting a shelter.

You're helping build a movement.

When you join our Best Friends program, you're not just providing food and medicine. You're becoming a lifeline for each animal we rescue while simultaneously funding the education, advocacy, and policy work that will transform Albania's treatment of animals for generations to come.

Your monthly gift means:

• A child learns compassion instead of cruelty
• A municipality chooses humane solutions over mass poisoning
• An abused dog like Victoria gets the medical care and legal advocacy she deserves
• A community cat is sterilized instead of adding to the overpopulation crisis
• An injured stray has a safe place to heal

Together, we're giving animals the love, care, and second chances they deserve today—while building the Albania they deserve tomorrow.

Be a hero for Albania's animals, become their Best Friend today.
