Who we are

An association born from a realization

Every dog and every cat in Douala's working-class neighborhoods deserves care. Animaux et Dignité treats them for free from its shelter in Bonabéri.

Our story

A realization, a conviction, a mission

Animaux et Dignité was born from a simple realization: the stray animals of Douala's working-class neighborhoods suffer in silence, lacking care and protection.

Our association was built around one conviction: animal welfare and human dignity go hand in hand.

Today, we work alongside families, children and communities in Douala, with 50 dogs and 48 cats treated.

« Every animal deserves a second chance. »
