Over 3,500 Adoptions: 'ANELLA CAFE Fujimino' Opens on May 28, 2026!

ANELLA Group (Headquarters: Setagaya, Tokyo; CEO: Daiki Ito), which operates the rescue dog and cat interaction cafe 'ANELLA CAFE' equipped with shelter functions, opened 'ANELLA CAFE Fujimino' on Thursday, May 28, 2026. This is the 3rd store in Saitama Prefecture and the 30th nationwide. The Fujimino store is located a 5-minute walk from Fujimino Station on the Tobu Tojo Line, situated along the tracks where it can be seen from passing trains. The concept of ANELLA CAFE is 'Classic Hawaiian.' It is a modern, warm, and stylish space that matches exposed concrete walls with the brand color 'Anella Blue,' reminiscent of a clear sky. Hawaiian music is played in the background, allowing guests to spend time comfortably. The Fujimino store is dedicated to dogs, housing a wide range of dogs from small breeds to former strays in a safe environment. (Dog availability varies by timing.) In the spacious, sunlit store, guests can sit anywhere and enjoy a healing time surrounded by cute dogs. At ANELLA CAFE, guests can also consider adopting a dog they feel a connection with. Whether you are looking for a new family member, want to interact with various dogs, or just want to relax in a healing cafe space, everyone is welcome. As an opening campaign, admission is free for the first 30 minutes for everyone from May 28 (Thu) to May 31 (Sun). Please take this opportunity to visit ANELLA CAFE Fujimino. ANELLA CAFE's 3 Promises: We have a strong belief that we can change society little by little by seriously facing the lives in front of us. 1. Philosophy: Change One Life Forever. 'Saving one life may not change the world, but it will change the world for that one life forever.' Even if we cannot change the world all at once, we believe that seriously facing the life of the person or dog in front of us is the driving force that will move society as a whole. 2. Mission: Making a culture of kindness a social infrastructure. Our mission is to elevate kindness from temporary volunteerism to a sustainable 'system,' spreading hubs where human welfare and animal welfare work hand-in-hand. 3. Vision: Beyond zero culling. We aim for 'Anella Normalization'—a society where everyone can live for someone else. Our goal is not just to reach 'zero' culling, but to create a future where the boundary between 'saving and being saved' disappears and it becomes 'natural' for humans and animals to live together. The gentle system of 'ANELLA CAFE' where dogs, cats, and people support each other: In addition to the interaction cafe and rescue shelter, ANELLA CAFE also functions as a 'Type B Continuous Employment Support' facility. People with disabilities who found it difficult to work in general companies find their roles through caring for dogs and cats and working in the shop, feeling the 'joy of working' and 'connection with society.' The sight of humans and animals connecting and supporting each other creates a warm atmosphere and is a wonderful form of social contribution. We value an environment where everyone can shine in their own way, with spacious rest areas and target wages. We will spread a gentle future where customers, dogs, cats, and staff can all be happy from ANELLA CAFE. CEO Daiki Ito's Comment: 'I want to save as many lives as possible and create a society where humans and animals can live more happily.' We have been running with this single-minded focus. Fujimino, the stage for our 30th store, is a wonderful place with many families who cherish animals as family members, making it the perfect place to embody our ideal of 'coexistence between humans and animals.' I truly believe that the people gathering in this nature-rich and open town will kindly embrace the stories behind our rescue dogs. We aim for ANELLA CAFE Fujimino to be the 'best starting line for rescue dogs to meet new families' and a 'third place that delivers healing and smiles to daily life' for the local community. Our challenge has just begun. We look forward to weaving many happy stories from this town together with the people of Fujimino. [Store Overview] Name: ANELLA CAFE Fujimino.
