Recently, a cafe called Waf Cafe in Lille, northern France, became popular!

This is the first stray dog coffee shop in Europe ~ there are many large dogs who have experienced abandonment, street and abuse.

Dogs who come to this cafe are lucky to have warm families for the rest of their lives. But in France, nearly 60,000 dogs live on the streets a year, of which 8 are large dogs in Chengdu. People are afraid to adopt at will because they are afraid that dogs will attack humans, so that many dogs eventually need to be treated with comfort.

The cafe owner couldn't bear to see so many dogs share the same fate, so he set up a reception center and teamed up with a number of institutions to do their best to help more dogs. However, due to the remoteness of the reception center, little attention has been paid to the institution, and few people have come to adopt. So I thought of a lot of ways to attract everyone's attention, and finally came up with the idea of breaking people's prejudice against stray dogs by interacting with guests in cafes.

In the five years since its opening, the cafe has helped more than 90 stray dogs find adoptive families. Although the number is very small, but through the publicity of the coffee shop, let more people know about this hosting institution, and more and more people participate in the relief work. When you come to this cafe, you only need to pay 7 euros for an unlimited refill of coffee. The purpose of this coffee shop is to help dogs find a home and use coffee as a bridge for people to build relationships with dogs.

And the clerks here are not only human, but also these dogs are regular employees in the store.

This is the store manager's Cindy,12-year-old grandmother's specialty: nagging young people about noisy guest hobbies: closing your eyes on the sofa

This is a potato, because the color is like a potato specialty: stealing guests' waffles hobbies: robbing guests' waffles

This is the bean, the head of the store.

Specialty: in charge of managing the dogs and entertaining guests during the lookout time

Hobbies: eat and eat

The coffee shop owner said, "We can't save every stray dog, so I have to take more care of every dog I meet."

She also hopes to let guests realize the help of stray animals through a cup of coffee and hope that they can adopt instead of buying. "pets can't stay with you all your life, but they stay with you all your life. "Photo Source: Waf Cafe official website
