Actions for animals in shelters go beyond direct assistance – they teach responsibility and raise awareness about the importance of animal and environmental protection. Volunteering at shelters allows employees to understand the needs of animals, but also face the daily organizational challenges. It provides employees with a unique perspective on resource management and social responsibility.
Regular walks with shelter dogs benefit both humans and animals. For the dogs, it means a break from the confined shelter space, more exercise, and most importantly, human contact, which is crucial for them. Regular walks help reduce stress, improve their physical condition, and positively impact their behavior and socialization. This increases their chances of adoption and finding a loving home.
For people, walking the dogs is not only a form of physical activity but also an opportunity to build empathy and develop responsibility. Contact with dogs improves mood, reduces stress, and provides a break from daily challenges. Additionally, these walks offer a chance to develop patience, communication skills, and mindfulness. All of this translates into better well-being and improved relationships in both personal and professional life.
We aim to support long-term development and engagement in employee volunteering, while also assisting animal shelters and raising awareness among employees about animal rights and sustainable development. This project also aligns with several UN priorities related to education – promoting lifelong learning, protecting life on land, and fostering partnerships to achieve these goals. It is an initiative that contributes to improving the lives of both people and animals, combining actions for sustainable development with education and direct support for animals in need.
As part of the project, we collaborate with various cities to jointly develop an employee volunteering program at animal shelters. This allows us to reach more shelters and support local animal welfare initiatives. If your organization is interested in implementing this activity for your employees, we invite you to contact us. If you run a shelter and need support, reach out to us! Together, we can create a program that benefits both animals and people, while strengthening social engagement and responsibility within your team.
Incorporating social initiatives into a company’s strategy demonstrates its commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility.
