Active and sustainable animal welfare

Hand die eine Pfote hält.

Operating since 2001

Michael Aufhauser founded Gut Aiderbichl to provide a safe home for animals in need. The animal welfare organization promotes compassion and responsibility through active animal protection and sustainable education.

Over 9,000 rescued animals

The animals were no longer wanted or had to be relinquished due to difficult circumstances. They are now under our protection and represent all those we want to help. They remind us every day how important compassion and protection are for all living beings.
