Saxony saves animal shelters: triple support for protests!
Nordsachsen, Deutschland - In Saxony, a significant decision was made, the many animal rights activists: inside and animal shelters should put a smile on the face. On July 3, 2025, the Saxon state parliament adopted the double budget for the years 2025 and 2026, with originally planned cuts for animal shelters and animal welfare being inflicted on the last trigger. Instead, financial support for the institutions is tripled, which is a real relief for many animal shelters in Saxony. LVZ reports in particular that the Tierchilfe Torgau and other animal welfare association the region is happy about this turn.
Christina Walloschke, the chair of Torgau Tierhilfe, was relieved about the decision of the state parliament and emphasized the strong cohesion among the animal welfare associations in Saxony. "We showed that we stand together," said Walloschke. The members of the animal shelter in Leisnig are also relieved, because the new funds enable urgently needed renovations and offer a sustainable perspective for the animal shelters in the Free State.
important financial support
The decision to increase the promotion of animal shelters is not only a current relief, but also a long -term plan. The funding amount for animal shelters is increased from a maximum of 5,800 euros to up to 10,000 euros per year. It is important that this support remains up to and including 2031, as the Minister of State for Social Affairs, Petra Köpping, emphasizes. sachsen.de reports that the funding rate for investment measures in animal shelters is even up to 90 percent.
The new funding guideline has already experienced adjustments in November 2023, which aims specifically on the maintenance of the building fabric, personnel and material costs. Animal welfare associations in Saxony have the opportunity to apply for support for construction projects such as kennel or fencing as well as for material expenditure such as the castration of cats. The goal is clear: the situation of the Saxon animal shelters should be significantly improved by 2024, according to the coalition agreement.
responsibility of the cities
Another aspect that is related to the financing of animal shelters is the responsibility of the cities. The main committee has made it clear that it is important that the cities act generously at animals and classify them as found animals. Ask the state informs that there are also recommendations for re-evaluating remuneration to animal shelters and there is an exchange of costs for the supply of funds between animal welfare associations and local regional associations. This is a central point, because this is the only way to continue working in the future and take care of the well -being of the stranded four -legged friends.
Overall, it shows that Saxony takes a step in the right direction to strengthen the animal shelters and animal welfare. These developments give hope for a better future for animals and the committed people in the animal shelters. A good reason to celebrate and take a deep breath for all animal rights activists: inside in the region. Because one thing is certain: the work you do is indispensable and deserves our full support!
