LERN UNS MAL SO RICHTIG KENNEN.

Alpha – was? Klar, der Name mag nach einem epischen Boss-Level klingen, aber lass Dich davon nicht auf eine falsche Fährte locken. Die geheime (altgriechische) Formel dahinter: Alpha: das Erste, Beste, Größte und Zoo: Tier, Lebewesen. Kurzum: Für uns stehen Vierbeiner an erster Stelle. Und wäre es nicht so kitschig, würden wir uns als Zentrale für tierische Lebensfreude bezeichnen (psst, das bleibt jetzt aber wirklich unter uns!).
