About ZERO STRAY PAWJECT

Zero Stray Pawject is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 81-1934816) with an associated German e.V. that designs and implements prevention-first municipal programs to stop animals becoming stray. The organization works with municipalities, law enforcement, judiciary stakeholders and local veterinarians to build registries, subsidize microchipping and neutering, and run public-education campaigns to change owner behavior.

Beginning as a pilot program in Greek municipalities, Zero Stray Pawject operates the Zero Stray Academy (an education/training platform for municipal leaders, police and judicial officials) and provides toolkits, digital templates and direct funding for targeted interventions. It has active, ongoing collaborations with multiple Greek municipalities and expanded program activity and fundraising through 2023–2024, reflected in increased operational scale and annual filings for 2024.

The EIN and tax filings for 81-1934816 were cross-checked against publicly available nonprofit filings and organizational disclosures to confirm the profile applies to the organization operating under the name Zero Stray Pawject (U.S. and German entities). The organization presents itself as donor-facing and actively solicits public support for prevention and capacity-building work.

Notable achievements

Aegina proof-of-concept

Designed and led a multi-year municipal program on the island of Aegina that the organization reports reduced the estimated number of stray dogs substantially (organization-reported reduction from roughly 200 to around 30 over a three-year period) through combined microchipping, registration, neutering subsidies and enforcement support.

Founded Zero Stray Academy

Established the Zero Stray Academy to train municipal leaders, police and judicial actors on systematic, prevention-first approaches; the Academy has run seminars and courses for municipalities and professional stakeholders and has become the organization’s primary capacity-building vehicle.

Municipal rollouts and local tools

Developed and rolled out municipal dog registries, produced and donated municipal dog tags (e.g., a 2,000‑tag distribution for Santorini), supported targeted subsidized microchipping and neutering campaigns, and scaled similar interventions across additional municipalities and islands.
