The shelter is conveniently located in the forest belt near the railway station. Today there are about 400 dogs and 200 cats. This shelter, like any other, needs volunteers and charitable assistance. To keep such a number of animals in decent conditions (and they are such) it takes a lot of manpower and equipment. The owners of pets from the shelter in a review note that the animals there are well-groomed, educated and very affectionate. They do not have enough attention, so those who wish can take the patronage of their favorite dog or act as a volunteer and help in the care and walking of all the wards.
At the Zouorassvit shelter, seminars are regularly held to help owners understand the problems that arise after a dog or cat is set up in an apartment and determine a possible solution. Those interested can consult a dog handler and a veterinarian. At the shelter, you can take a puppy or a dog with developed behavioral skills. There are pedigree individuals who dream of finding their owner. Animals are transferred to good hands with the possibility of unobtrusive control over the life of a pet. This is, without a doubt, one of the best shelters in Moscow, where you can choose a devoted friend.

Despite the fact that there are various animals in the shelter, it is considered to be a dog, their number prevails. The institution is located in the park area, with caregivers and volunteers walking with it. There are quite a few of the latter; they all selflessly care for the dogs and try to get them into good hands as soon as possible. People who visited the shelter, noted that there is a great organization, all animals are well-groomed and well-fed. This is the only municipal institution of this kind in our ranking. However, it also needs volunteer assistance and donations. Providing a complete balanced diet to a large number of animals is quite difficult.
There is also a guardianship system, that is, a person can take patronage of one of the dogs and take an active part in her life without taking home. For pets in dire need of attention, this will be a great solution. According to the staff, there are more large dogs, some of which are pedigree. You can look after a puppy, but adults, individuals who are ready to live at home, are becoming increasingly popular. They are vaccinated, chipped and sterilized. On the shelter site you can be tested to determine the most appropriate type of dog.

Among the homeless there are good pedigree individuals. Over the years, the shelter has provided support and has attached quite a few guests. Today it is home to 50 dogs and 7 cats.

Another private shelter in our ranking. Any help will be welcome here - from guest walking to financial charity. In the shelter live mostly cats and dogs who want to have a pet can choose both an adult and a puppy. Moreover, there are also pedigree specimens, of course, there can be no talk of pedigree, but they will definitely please with their appearance. For those who are not ready to settle the animal at home, but really wants to help, the option of care is offered. In this case, a person can provide not only financial support, but also actively participate in the life of the animal. Usually this option is suitable for age or problem pets.
Animals are in a comfortable environment. They are monitored by a veterinarian, they have all the necessary vaccinations and are sanitized. The shelter does not receive support from the state, like most of these institutions, works at the expense of charity. Volunteers are always welcome here. Unfortunately, today the shelter is crowded and cannot be occupied by new guests. Therefore, the leadership encourages all concerned to take part in retrofitting existing homeless people, to make room for the next, in need of help. "Call of the Ancestors", of course, is one of the best in Moscow and adequately hit our top.

Charitable Foundation for the Protection of Animals "BIM" is one of the oldest in Moscow. It was created over 30 years ago. Today the foundation has five shelters: Khoteichi, Dergunino, Tomilino, Zhulebino, Otradnoe. It does not receive financial support from the state and operates on charitable donations and volunteer activities. Today, the shelter accepts animals that will die without specialized assistance. Due to the fact that the extension is much slower than receipts, the premises are overcrowded and are not able to accommodate all the stray animals.
Every pet in the shelter lives here until the end of life, if there is no worthy owner. Today, sheltering a homeless guest can only be making room for him. Therefore, you need to attach any old man to get the opportunity to take a new one. Animals are kept in good conditions. All of them are sanitized, grafted and sterilized. On the website of the fund you can see the catalog of pets and choose the right one. In addition to dogs and cats, bears, horses, wolves, nutria and other animals live in the shelter. There are both adults and puppies. BIM is deservedly considered one of the best shelters in Moscow.
