APRIL 2019

NEW SANCTUARY

Animal Police Association continues fighting for the dream of its own sanctuary. With every donation, we move one step closer to ending the brutal killing stations on the island of Mallorca and giving all animals the chance to live without time limits and suffering. We take inspiration from and aim to emulate "Gut Aiderbichl" in Austria. Achieving something similar would mean the world to Animal Police, and we could set a landmark for animal welfare on the island of Mallorca. Animal Police is delighted to present the project:

We thank all our supporters from the bottom of our hearts and remain infinitely grateful for every single donation, no matter how small!

OUR ANIMALS

In April, the animal welfare association Animal Police was able to place four of our little feline friends into good hands and loving homes. We thank the adoptive parents of the cats from the deepest of hearts and wish our animals a beautiful and loving future filled with lots of cuddles. The animals were at the cat sanctuary SOS Animal in Cálvia. Thanks to Maxi Lange and her team, we have a close and trusting partnership.

The hearts of the Animal Police team soared when we were able to rescue three dogs from absolutely terrible living situations. Additionally, Verena and her team did wonderful work by rescuing two more dogs from the killing station. We have also already secured temporary foster care for all five dogs. We are overjoyed that these five now have a better and brighter future ahead of them.

JUEVES URGENTLY NEEDS A HOME

For our little friend named Jueves, a black approximately two-year-old "pastor mallorquin", we are urgently searching for a new home. A German family discovered the poor dog and contacted Silvie Schmidl, who immediately brought the matter to Alessandra Schulz. Thanks to her and the help of dear Alessandra Schulz, we were all able to rescue the dog from his miserable situation together. He had been kept on a very short chain since birth and left alone in an uninhabitable finca with nothing. We would be thrilled if we could find a loving and caring home for him and are incredibly grateful for any help! For now, he is well cared for and is developing more and more into a very friendly, clumsy, and happy dog. Despite his sad fate, he is developing contrary to expectations—not aggressive or fearful, but quite the opposite. For everyone involved, it is a beautiful experience to feel his gratitude every single day.

OUR ALESSANDRA SCHULZ

Animal Police is proud to welcome a new member to its operational team. Dear Alessandra, thank you a thousand times for your commitment. She has now been living on the island of Mallorca for two and a half years and has dedicated her life entirely to animals. What could be better than having someone like Alessandra at your side—a true doer who doesn't just talk but acts. With full confidence, we would like to entrust her with the responsibility of managing the planned sanctuary in the future.

SIMPLY HUMAN

Our president, Farah de Tomi, was able to be "simply human" and show this to all of Switzerland in the series of the same name on the television channel "Schweiz 5". Of course, the interview was primarily about her mission to help poor animals and her passion for her heart project, the Animal Police Association. Once again, Farah has made us so proud and touched our hearts deeply. The Animal Police team would like to thank Farah once more from the bottom of our hearts for her dedication, her commitment, and her incredibly big heart for animals!

FARAH AS AMBASSADOR

Since the beginning of this month, Farah de Tomi has been involved in Mallorca's political sphere. She was asked to join the board of the animal welfare association "Baldea" on Mallorca to share her energy, creativity, and extraordinary commitment and to accomplish even greater things for animals with the strength of this umbrella organization. We are incredibly proud to see our president in such a wonderful position, wish Farah great success as a politician, and are absolutely certain she will rock that too!

ANOUK AND ANNA-MARIA

In the last week of April, Animal Police had a visit from two dedicated Swiss volunteers. Over the course of 5 days, these two wonderful women, Anouk and Anna-Maria, accompanied us and helped us complete a project work for their studies. They helped us wherever they could. Many thanks to these two ladies for their great effort, and we hope that Animal Police was able to give them something meaningful to take with them on their journey.

On June 5th, Anouk and Anna-Maria will present their project work in Uhwiesen near Schaffhausen. Everyone is welcome to visit and support the two of them together with Farah at their exam.
