Why Donate?

Portugal has a huge problem with abandoned and neglected dogs. Many pets aren’t neutered and live an outdoor life, which results in 1000’s of unwanted litters that are often left on the streets to fend for themselves. Combine this with animal cruelty, especially when the hunting season has finished and hunters no longer have a purpose for their dogs, and the shelters are always at capacity.

We look to find homes for mostly unwanted puppies, and also their Mums, and pay to spay / neuter another dog from each adoption fee. However, there are many other financial burdens on the shelters we support in addition to just caring for the new litters…. older dogs that struggle to find homes, vet & food bills, to name but a few.

There is a huge amount of pressure on rescue centres in Portugal, many of which struggle to keep up with the numbers of stray, abandoned and abused dogs. There is virtually no government funding or support. We are very grateful for any financial donation you are able to make and 100% of your money goes towards our rescue operations as we are a not-for-profit charity run mainly by volunteers.

Spay & Neuter Campaign

Everyday our volunteers find unwanted puppies which are being born on the streets, often without their mothers. In some cases, they find heavily pregnant bitches about to give birth. This is all because stray dogs and people’s pets are not being neutered. If a pair of dogs and their offspring were to breed and none were neutered, one pair could create a family tree of over 66,000 dogs over a 6 year period! Isn’t that insane? The impact of neutering just one dog can not be underestimated.The cost of neutering a dog and spaying a bitch varies on their size, but on it costs upwards of £60 each.

The money raised will be sent to private shelters in the Algarve to tackle a problem they face on a daily basis. If more dogs are neutered and spayed, there will be less strays and less strain on the shelters.

If you can spare just the cost of a coffee we would be very grateful.
