The era of the association began when Heinz Schirmer received the order from the city of Osterode in 1963 to set up an animal welfare association. Dr. Janssen was elected as the first chairman of the animal welfare association for Osterode and the surrounding area, Mr. Armbrecht as secretary and then Ms. Orlowski, who later took over the office of treasurer and held this position for 37 years. Today the animal welfare association for Osterode and the surrounding area is a registered association with its headquarters at An der Leege 25 in Osterode am Harz and currently has around 320 members. Its tasks and goals are to take in, care for and rehome found and surrendered animals. The permanent employees give the pets a regular daily routine and ensure that they are fed, the boxes are cleaned and that they receive veterinary care. The dogs are mainly walked by volunteers. Placement discussions and checks on future accommodation are just as much a part of the animal welfare workers' tasks as follow-up checks on rehomed animals. The association is financed through membership fees and donations. There are also proceeds from events such as the annual summer festival at the animal shelter or similar activities. The association is also supported by sponsorship money from local companies.
