Which Animal Shelters and Countries Can I Watch on Animals Life NET?

Animals Life NET lists live webcams by country and shelter name, so you can pick a shelter and watch its dogs or cats directly. The shelters named on the site are in Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, Norway, Croatia and Estonia, and a "Map of project participants" shows where those shelters are located. Availability depends on which shelters are currently listed on the page, so treat the list below as the set shown on the site rather than a permanent catalogue.

Shelters and countries shown on the site

Two things stand out from this list. First, most locations run a single camera, so you see one area of the shelter. Second, Croatia's "Stari Maček" cat shelter runs four streams and Estonia's "Pesaleidja" runs two, which gives you more than one view of the same shelter if you want to follow different rooms or groups of animals.

How to find and watch a shelter

1. Open the site and look at the shelter list, which is grouped by country with the shelter name beside it.
2. Pick a country, then a shelter within it.
3. Select the live stream for that shelter. Where a shelter has more than one stream (Croatia, Estonia), choose the one you want to watch.
4. Use the "Feed" option if you want to contribute food to a shelter rather than only watch.
5. Check the "Map of project participants" if you want to see the geographic spread of shelters instead of a plain list.

The expected result is a live video feed from the shelter you chose. If a stream does not load, the practical check is whether that shelter still appears in the current list — the site's shelter line-up is not fixed, and news posts show food deliveries going to shelters such as "Tamaz" (TAMAZ ELIZBARISHVILI'S DOG SHELTER), which is not in the stream list above.

What the streams are for

The project is a shelter support tool, not just entertainment. Shelters use the cameras for ongoing observation of their animals, and donors can see conditions inside the shelter. Dog Rescue Romania describes using the streams for "new permanent control of the dogs in the shelter" and spotting conflicts between dogs in time, and says the visibility helps people understand the need to care for and feed over 300 animals. SOS Animaux in Tunisia describes joining for visibility and the hope of better adoption prospects, noting that local adoptions are limited and they rely on adoptions abroad.

If your goal is to support a shelter, watching is the entry point; feeding and sponsorship are the actions attached to it. If your goal is simply to watch cats or dogs, the Croatian cat shelter's four streams give you the most choice of any single location listed.

Limits to keep in mind

• The list above reflects the shelters shown on the site; shelters can be added or drop off, and news posts mention shelters that are not in the stream list.
• Streams are organised by country and shelter, so you cannot search by animal type across the whole platform — you choose a shelter first.
• The site is available in many languages (including English, Estonian, Russian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Romanian, Macedonian, Serbian, Spanish, Georgian, Hungarian, Croatian, Vietnamese, Finnish, German, Italian and Portuguese), so you can switch language if the shelter names are unfamiliar.
