Luka Nizetic in the Campaign ‘I Love Animals’

Three years ago we launched a campaign ‘I Love Animals’ in order to help with the construction and registration of the Ianua Animal Sanctuary. Now, the chain store dm and Croatian singer Luka Nizetic joined this campaign too with Luka’s new single ‘Kad zasvira orkestar’ (When the Orchestra Plays).


Don’t Buy Animals!

This year the Croatian celebrity couple Mirna and Mario Valentic joined our campaign ‘Family to the Seaside, Dog to the Street?’ together with the dog Bodo and tomcat Zabica – proteges of the Shelter for abandoned animals in Dumovec. The ads ‘Do not Adopt Animals if You are Going to Leave Them!’ will be posted in many Croatian cities.


Free the Spanish 12

If you want to support them as well, please sign the petition for their release.
