Community service
Courses and educational meetings with children and young people.
We are very keen on bringing together as many young people as possible who want to commit to charity work both for animals and the environment.
We are well aware that instilling the right ideas from an early age, developing good habits, and sensitizing to the needs and welfare of animals will pay off in the future by improving the quality of life of animals, both domestic and stray as well as those in need of support.
We are keen on making sure that since the very young age children and adolescents will have an access to broad knowledge about both animals and environment. We also want to make sure that through meetings, entertainment and other forms of education we will be able to help them to establish good relationships and strengthen ties with animals. That is why we, in collaboration with our friends, are planning number of meetings, lectures and other forms of education.
We highly encourage cooperation with kindergartens, schools, community centres and any other centres that educate and bring together children and young people. We will be happy to establish cooperation and arrange a meeting. We will adapt our program to your needs and expectations.
Courses for instructors, groomers, rehabilitators
In the nearest future we will post and offer and schedule of courses, trainings and lectures organized by the Association. We invite you to our website or direct contact with ‘’On four paws’’ Association or the Hotel ‘’Akita and Friends’’.
Educational meetings for volunteers
We sincerely invite all willing to help animals in need. Our volunteers will be granted with free courses that will aim at increasing their knowledge and competences.
Periodically, we will be organising animal first aid courses. We will also teach you how to care for sick animals, how to secure traumatized animals, how to groom them and how to deal with problematic situations or those that threaten the safety of both animals and people.
In the nearest future we will post and offer and schedule of courses, trainings and lectures organized by the Association. We invite you to our website or direct contact with ‘’On four paws’’ Association or the Hotel ‘’Akita and Friends’’.
Charity collections and events for the Association
As you all know helping those in need require not only workload of association members and volunteers. We are also in need of funds and assistance form donors. Without you we will not be able to aid and realize our statutory goals!
The Association is planning on raising part of its funding from its own activities. We are all willing to donate our personal time, skills and energy for the benefit of animals in need and fight for their life and health. However, if we are to realize all of our statutory goals we will be in need of help which is the reason we count on your aid. Any form of it would be welcome.
We make a special request to local authorities, organizations and businesses. We count on your support and good cooperation. We hope that in our region will be able to find many people who, like us, care about the welfare of animals and the environment.
Urban dog run
We are very keen on creating an animal-friendly space for all animal lovers living in Solec Kujawski and surrounding areas.
As for today, there is no safe dog run in Solec Kujawski and if anyone would want to use such, then he has to go to nearby cities or towns. We would like to change it. We are very much counting on the help of Mrs. Mayor and the authorities of the City and Municipality of Solec Kujawski. We need suitable location and funding for creating safe dog run with appropriate infrastructure. For its part, the Association will take care of its management, safety and cleanliness. We are also willing to organising various events there in the future for the residents of the city, aimed at integrating animals and people. More information will be posted after discussions with the Mayor, we hope that the talks and cooperation will be fruitful.
Animal cemetery
Creating a cemetery for animals on the premises of our municipality is one of our goals. As for today, sadly there is no places to bury our smaller brothers with dignity after their passing beyond the "rainbow bridge". We are eager to changing that by undertaking the organization of the cemetery, its supervision and help in burying deceased animals.
In this place we are also dependable on the favour of the authorities of our city and municipality. After discussions with the Mayor, we will keep you updated on the progress of this project.
Diner for animals
Many of us have pets, and for most they are simply family members. Unfortunately, sometimes fate can be deceitful and cruel. Many people, for various reasons, lose financial stability and have to face a difficult dilemma, give up a family member or risk a life of privation. In those cases we want to aid those who will be in need of support. The same goes for people who feed Solec Kujawski's stray cats, we hope our collections will help you feed them.
We are planning on opening Diners for animals, to which everyone will be able to bring backlogged food, litter or unnecessary pet accessories. On the other hand, we will invite people in need to take advantage of this form of support.
We are very much counting on the help of local authorities, companies as well as clinics, therapists and pet stores. We dream of extending this help to support the treatment of animals belonging to people who cannot afford it at the moment or whose emergency treatment has simply overwhelmed them and still want to fight for the health and life of their pupils.
