Volunteering

Do you know what a volunteer's job is?

Although it seems that the work of a volunteer in an animal shelter is to give love and attention to the dogs, it is not only that during the volunteer shift.

SPACE CLEANING (including each box where the animal is located and all the space in the area where you are doing the volunteer shift): picking up the waste, shaking the blankets and the dust present in the dogs beds, changing the water in the bucket, cleaning the food bowls and putting more back, etc.

GIVING ATTENTION TO EACH DOG: not only giving the love they deserve, but also realizing if they need any extra care (such as eye cleaning or any other sign that exists, which is then communicated to the space managers)

Contact us through our Facebook and get ready for a work full of love and joy!

Volunteer FormVERY IMPORTANT: It is necessary to commit to carrying out this work and not to miss it, all our dogs need this care daily and by not assuming the commitment to do so, you are harming both the remaining volunteers and the animals themselves for not having access to the care they need.

Sponsorship

You can be part of our dogs lives in such a simple way!

If you can't adopt, but want to be part of the life of one or more dogs from our shelter, we have the solution: For only 5 euros per month, you can sponsor a dog from our kennel and make a difference in their life, helping us with daily expenses such as food, health, among others.

But what does a godfather or godmother do? In addition to the monthly donation, you need to be available to get involved in the life of your goddog, such as helping with any extra expenses that may arise or even finding a possible home for them.

In addition to this, you can also take your goddog for a weekend with you, so you can get to know each other better and spend more time together, when adoption is not possible.

Don't forget that by sponsoring one of our dogs, you are committing to taking care of them, even from a distance your goddog will be counting on you!

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact us through our Facebook.Sponsorship Form

Adoption

Dogs are incredible companions, but taking care of them is a serious responsibility. It is important to respect them and be prepared for the challenges. Our goal is to find loving homes for our dogs, a process that can be time-consuming but essential to ensure they receive the love and care they deserve.

If you are sure you are ready to adopt and take care of one of the dogs, contact us:

We have about 150 dogs in our shelter waiting for the opportunity to have a home and a family! Do you want to meet them?
