We run an animal sanctuary, where we save abandoned, neglected, old, sick and unwanted animals, we keep them safe and look for new, loving homes for them.
Inter Pares means Between Equals
We believe, that every individual, be it human or animal deserves an equal chance to live and thrive in a clean, safe, natural habitat, to be accepted in a social group and build strong, healthy relationships with other individuals. On our farm, in the Polish countryside, we have created the perfect environmentfor intercultural, intergenerational and interspecies gatherings where humans from different backgrounds and rescued animals support each other and build a small community.
​
We run an animal shelter, where homeless and neglacted animals find refuge. We provide them with shelter, medical aid and healthy meals. Many old and sick animals find a forever home in the foundation, as they are not easy to adopt. Almost all of the animals rescued by us actively participate in our therapeutic projects, which support humans in need, like children from troubled backgrounds and the disabled. The projects include: animal assisted therapy, art therapy, creative workshops, forest walks, deep-ecology lessons and physical activities among animals.

ABOUT US
We are a group of people who have been helping homeless and abandoned animals for many years. We established the Inter Pares Foundation in March 2018 to increase the range of our activities and improve our work .
We help directly: with intervention activities, providing temporary homes, veterinary care and supervision of adoption procedures, but mainly we want to help animals by reaching the source of the problem of their ill-treatment and homelessness, i.e. by educating people
By organizing various types of volunteering, educational and cultural programs, workshops developing emotional awareness, meetings promoting social responsibility and sensitivity to the fate of animals, addressed mainly to children and adolescents, we want to increase the chances that the next generations will treat not only animals but also each other better.
Inter Pares Foundation is located in a picturesque area near Golub-Dobrzyń, on the Drwęca River, in Rodzone, in the Radomin Commune. We have an area of 1.5 ha at our disposal, where animals under our care live and where we organize various therapeutic activities, educational lectures and artistic workshop.
​
We mainly live off donations, virtual adoptions and collections. Additionally, in 2018 we became the Social Economy Enterprise and thanks to the grant we founded the graphic studio - Graphic Farm. By implementing commercial graphic designs, we earn extra money for the maintenance of our animals.

-
giving a safe haven under the care of volunteers;
