About ANAA
We work to promote responsible pet ownership and to foster empathy and respect for all living creatures.
Asociación Nacional Amigos de los Animales (ANAA) is a non-profit organization founded in Madrid (Spain) in 1992 in response to the high number of abandoned and neglected pets in our country, where animal welfare issues are so often overlooked by the Administration, that is using euthanasia as the only means to manage pet overpopulation, instead of striving for a more humane and effective solution.
ANAA is legally incorporated and properly registered in:
- Registro Nacional de Asociaciones del Ministerio del Interior nº 112.523.
- Registro Provincial de Asociaciones de la Delegación del Gobierno nº 12.653.
