Our Mission

The Gang of 1500 has a clear vision for solving the problems of stray animals in the city, and our implementation strategy is based on three main pillars.

Civic education

Civic education

We develop educational campaigns targeting students. The early formation of a child's worldview directly influences their thinking and attitude towards stray animals later in life. We believe that practical and focused civic education can generate the necessary momentum for change.

Informed society

Informed society

The lack of understanding and knowledge within society regarding our responsibilities towards stray animals in the city creates significant challenges for them. It's crucial to discuss humane treatment, protection, spaying/neutering, population control, and legal breeding, all while adhering to the law and promoting adoption and foster care.

Modern shelters

Modern shelters

Our long-term mission is to transform Sofia (and Bulgaria) into a place free of stray animals, with shelters that meet European standards. To achieve this, of course, we as a society have a long journey ahead. A crucial condition is fostering public awareness and changing the way we perceive stray animals and our overall attitude towards domestic animals.
