What Drives Us
Our Mission:
At Friends of Animals International, our mission is to educate the citizens of Kosovo on the joys and responsibilities of dog ownership while dispelling myths about street dogs, reminding everyone that every dog simply wants a family to love. We promote the importance of spaying and neutering through accessible programs, fostering a compassionate community that embraces responsible pet ownership. Together, we strive to improve the lives of both dogs and their human companions, ensuring that every dog finds the loving home they deserve.
The history
Our Story:
Getting Involved
Save a Dog
Adopting a Pet
Our team partners with other dog rescue organizations in order to get dogs off the street and into their forever homes. Check out some of our adoptable dogs here to find out more about them, and contact us if you would like to inquire about adopting! We can most easily adopt out to those located in the United States and Kosovo.
MakING a Donation
We are pleased to inform you that all donations made to us are tax-deductible. Your financial support not only helps us provide essential care to dogs in need but also offers you the benefit of a tax deduction.
What we do
Our Efforts
Rescue Dogs
Kosovo has too many dogs on their streets – we are working to make a difference. We rescue dogs to give them a second chance at a better life and fight the stigma that they are pests or vermin.
Spay & Nueter
We work with local vets in Pristina to make sure our dogs get the care they need, and we are working to further spay and neuter efforts to help manage the street dog population.
Get Involved
We can’t do this without you. At the heart of our organization are those who volunteer their time to help us and our dogs, whether at our shelter or in the air. Every bit helps – learn more here.

Looking to Adopt?
Adopting VS BUying
Adopting and buying are two of the most common ways to get a pet. However, adopting from a shelter can be much more fulfilling than buying from a breeder. When you adopt from us, you are contributing to a larger mission and completely changing the life of a dog who was rescued from a life of hardship.
How to Find the Perfect Pet
Finding the right dog is tough, and a decision not to be taken lightly, but we are here to help. We have a detailed adoption questionnaire to help match you with the best fit for your needs, and our team is happy to talk with you to address any questions and to guide you through the process.
