Animal welfare counsellors are people who are Animal welfare by inspecting animal husbandry and ensuring compliance with legal regulations. They work on a voluntary basis on behalf of our Animal welfare organisation active.

Your tasks include checks as part of our animal placement programme. The aim is to determine whether the animal is being kept in a species-appropriate manner by the new owner and whether the conditions stipulated in the placement contract are being adhered to. In addition, animal welfare advisors follow up on indications of breaches of the Animal Welfare Act or animal welfare regulations. However, they have no sovereign powers and must therefore contact the competent authorities (Veterinary officein urgent cases, contact the police).

The national associations of the German Animal Welfare Association train animal welfare counsellors in seminars and issue a corresponding certificate after passing an examination.
