Finally in Aichi! Nationwide Popular Rescue Dog and Cat & Employment Support Cafe "ANELLA CAFE Aichi Amabe Store" Newly Opens on July 7 (Tue)! ~Connecting Lives Locally, a New Place to Belong~

"ANELLA Group" (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daiki Ito), which is rapidly expanding nationwide as a new style of social enterprise combining activities to connect the lives of rescue dogs and cats with Type B continuous employment support. The 36th store nationwide and the first in Aichi Prefecture, "ANELLA CAFE Aichi Amabe Store," will finally have its grand opening today, July 7, 2026 (Tue).

This store serves as a "place to find foster families" for local rescue dogs and cats to meet new families, and at the same time, it is a "place of welfare" where individuals with disabilities can connect with society and work vibrantly towards independence through caring for animals and managing the store. Rooted in the warm community of Aichi Amabe, we aim to be a "new place to belong" that saves as many lives as possible and brings smiles to as many people as possible.

Long-Awaited First Store in Aichi Prefecture! The Vision Behind the Aichi Amabe Store

The 36th store nationwide and the first in Aichi Prefecture, "ANELLA CAFE Aichi Amabe Store," opens in the Amabe area, where a warm community is rooted. This store is a "space for interaction" where you can deeply connect with rescue dogs and cats. It is a "new home" for dogs and cats who have lost their way, and at the same time, as a "Type B continuous employment support facility," we welcome companions with disabilities and aim to be a "place where they can shine vibrantly and live life to the fullest" through animal care and connecting with society. By combining these two aspirations into one form, we will create a warm hub where anyone can drop by, and where both animals and people naturally find smiles.

Small Social Contributions in Daily Life. Interaction Becomes "Kindness"

"I want to support rescue dogs and cats, but I don't know what to do." "Disability welfare seems a bit intimidating..." The "ANELLA CAFE Aichi Amabe Store" completely changes that perception. Our store is a bright and comfortable "gentle place for people and dogs/cats" that anyone can easily visit. To ensure the animals can spend their time without stress and customers can interact with them with peace of mind, the interior is designed with completely separate "dog-only spaces" and "cat-only spaces." In a comfortable interior tailored to their respective habits, the "enjoyable time" spent interacting with or simply relaxing alongside cute dogs and cats, who are spending their time freely, all contributes to supporting activities that save lives.

3 Steps to Fully Enjoy the "Aichi Amabe Store"

STEP 1: First, be healed!

Friendly dogs and laid-back cats will greet you. Please spend a relaxing and reassuring time interacting with the animals at their own pace in their respective dedicated spaces.

STEP 2: Experience heartfelt hospitality!

Detailed cleaning of the facility and sincere reception support are handled by a team of diverse staff working together. Staff with disabilities are also involved in daily care and store management with a professional attitude. Their vibrant activities are the source of energy for the entire store.

STEP 3: If you feel a connection, make them "family"!

This store is also a place to find new families through adoption. If you feel a destined encounter and wish to welcome a particular animal into your home, please feel free to consult with our staff. We will carefully accompany and support you from the encounter to the adoption.

Representative Director Daiki Ito's Comment

ANELLA CAFE, our 36th store nationwide, finally opens its first location in Aichi Prefecture today, July 7. It is a comfortable place where you can deepen your connection with cute rescue dogs and cats, enriching your heart.

While many people in Aichi Prefecture are working hard towards zero euthanasia, there are still many dogs and cats waiting for new families. That is precisely why I felt the need for a place where anyone could easily support these lives in their daily routine. The Amabe district, where we have now expanded, has a peaceful natural environment right next to Nagoya, and above all, the connections among the local community are incredibly warm. I am convinced that this kind Amabe area is the perfect place for us to connect lives together.

This Aichi Amabe store will also begin operating as a "place for employment support" where individuals with disabilities can shine as protagonists through animal care and customer service. All staff members will form the best team and welcome you with professionalism and smiles. Simply visiting can directly contribute to activities that save lives. We will spread such a kind and exciting cycle from this Amabe town to all of Aichi.
