AUXAN, Swiss non-profit association devoted to the protection of animals, serving public interest
About Us
AUXAN was founded in May 2013 in Morges, near Lausanne, Switzerland. It is an officially recognised non-profit association devoted to the protection of animals, serving public interest and with no political affiliation. AUXAN’s primary objective is to help and support animal rescue centres and associations in difficulty, both in Switzerland and other countries, so that they can continue to take in, care for and feed animals (cats, dogs, horses, etc.) that are either homeless or abandoned, ill-treated or at risk.
Origin of the association's name "AUXAN"
The name is a combination of two Latin terms:
AUXilia
which means help, aid, assistance
&
ANimalibus
one of the plural Latin forms of the word “animalis” or animals
