animal lover
Fond of fauna
Animal lover describes someone who feels strong affection for animals and cares about their welfare.
The term ranges from casual fondness for pets to passionate advocacy for animal rights: She's a real animal lover—three cats, two dogs, and a parrot.
In euphemistic or humorous contexts, it sometimes implies excessive attachment to animals at the expense of human relationships.
