The Tierheim Lüneburg gemeinnützige GmbH belongs to the Tierschutzverein Lüneburg and the surrounding area. We take care of over 1000 dogs, cats and small animals every year, which come to us for a wide variety of reasons. Fund animals, which we either release back home or deliver animals, whose owners are often too old or too sick to take care of their pets, represent the majority of them. In addition, there are also cases where animals from poor posture are confiscated and come to us. We strive to find a suitable new home for each animal.
Die Tierheim Lüneburg gemeinnützige GmbH gehört zum Tierschutzverein Lüneburg und Umgebung. Wir kümmern uns jährlich um über 1000 Hunde, Katzen und Kleintiere, die aus unterschiedlichsten Gründen zu uns kommen. Fundtiere, die wir entweder zurück nach Hause entlassen oder Abgabetiere, deren Besitzer oft zu alt oder zu krank sind, um sich noch um ihr Haustier kümmern zu können, stellen den größten Teil dar. Daneben gibt es auch Fälle, in denen Tiere aus schlechter Haltung beschlagnahmt werden und zu uns kommen. Wir bemühen uns, für jedes Tier ein passendes neues Zuhause zu finden.

First, check the Zuwendungsempfaengerregister (ZER) at https://www.bzst.de/DE/Unternehmen/Zuwendungsempfaengerregister_organisation/zuwendungsempfaengerregister_organisation_node.html - the BZSt maintains this federal register of all organisations eligible to receive tax-deductible donations in Germany. Second, you can look up the association in the Vereinsregister (association register) at the local Amtsgericht (district court) via https://www.handelsregister.de/ - this confirms the legal form, registered address, and board members. Third, check whether the organisation holds the Freistellungsbescheid (tax-exemption notice) from its local Finanzamt - the notice is re-issued every three years and confirms the 'gemeinnuetzig' status under the Abgabenordnung. Legitimate charities publish this on their website or provide it on request.

For your donation to be tax-deductible, you need a Zuwendungsbestaetigung (donation receipt) from the organisation - for amounts up to 300 euros, a bank statement showing the transfer is sufficient.
