At the heart of our organization lies a force of nature whose compassion, dedication, and boundless energy inspire everyone around her. That force is Magdalena Malewska, a remarkable woman from Białystok, Poland, who has made it her life’s mission to protect, heal, and stand by animals—and by extension, the people who love them.
Magdalena is more than just an animal lover; she is a true guardian of all creatures great and small.
Whether it’s a lost dog wandering the streets, an injured kitten in need of urgent care, or a grieving pet owner struggling with loss, Magdalena is there – often before anyone else.
Her instincts and swift actions have saved countless lives, and her quiet strength brings comfort to those navigating difficult moments.
A proud dog owner herself, Magdalena deeply understands the emotional bond between people and their pets. She knows that animals are not just companions – they are family. And when that bond is threatened by illness, accident, or disappearance, she steps in with a combination of empathy, intuition, and action that is nothing short of extraordinary. She has tracked down missing pets against all odds, delivered medicine across the city when a prescription couldn’t wait, and spent nights by the side of animals in pain to ensure they felt loved and safe.
Her generosity knows no bounds. Whether it’s giving her time, her resources, or simply her presence, Magdalena never hesitates. She does it all without fanfare and without seeking recognition, motivated purely by love and an unshakable sense of responsibility. Animals respond to her naturally—it’s as if they sense her intention and trust her from the moment they meet. And people, too, are drawn to her warmth and understanding, often turning to her for support during difficult times.
Magdalena’s work within our animal department has been nothing short of transformative. Her ideas, initiative, and endless energy have shaped the way we approach animal welfare and community engagement. From organizing local rescue missions to developing outreach programs that educate and inspire, she is always several steps ahead, thinking about what more can be done and how to do it better.
“Compassion”
But perhaps what makes Magdalena so special is the quiet, steadfast way she goes about her work. She doesn’t shout or boast – she acts. She leads not with authority, but with compassion. And in doing so, she brings out the best in all of us. Her example reminds us why we do this work: because every animal matters, and because every act of kindness creates a ripple of healing in the world.
Magdalena Malewska is the soul of our organization, and without her, our mission would be incomplete. The animal department would not be what it is today without her heart, her intuition, and her incredible drive. We are honored to call her our colleague, our friend, and truly, the pride of our organization.
