About us

An international and experienced team working towards real results

Our Vision & Mission

NOR DOG was founded by Frederik Guttormsen at the beginning of the war as he saw the events unfold from the comforts of his home in Norway. Since then, the mission has been simple.

→ Evacuate and rehome animals most at risk. With our team, processes and experience, we are uniquely positioned to support animals in high-risk areas.

→ Contribute to overall animal welfare in these high-risk areas. We currently produce and distribute high volumes of dog and cat feed. We want to expand into other activities (i.e. mobile clinic, spay & neuter campaigns, etc.)
