Tierheimleitung (m/w/d)

Aus Leidenschaft für Tiere.

Since over 65 years.

Since 1958 we give animals that need help a safe and loving home. We take care with heart and experience of those who nobody helps and accompany them on the way to a new life.

Our work begins often where others give up: With animals that have experienced bad things, and people who give them a new chance. This together shapes our actions – with heart, experience, and an engaged team that takes responsibility every day.
