The "Friends of the Animal Corner" association operates independently, non-partisan, and autonomously, with its headquarters in Vienna. Its activities are not profit-oriented, but exclusively charitable, and extend throughout Austria. 

Purpose: Protection of the environment, nature, and animal species. Above all, the association strives to ensure that animals are bred, cared for, and kept in a manner appropriate to their species, and is committed to ensuring that animals can live in a manner that is consistent with their dignity as living beings. One of the association's main concerns is to raise social awareness and the level of information among the population, as well as to motivate people to be aware of the importance of environmental, nature, and species protection, as well as animal welfare, in their lives and to act accordingly!

The association finds homes for pets with people who can guarantee optimal care and maintenance by publishing free advertisements in the "Kronen Zeitung" animal section. The association provides general information and also addresses specific abuses throughout Austria, which it either remedies through its own actions or by intervening with the relevant authorities. The association provides information via the print medium Kronen Zeitung, online media: krone.at/tierecke, including social media such as Facebook and Instagram, on all kinds of issues relating to the association's purpose.
