URGENT! Our shelter is in crisis. The increase in dogs and cats has skyrocketed expenses. Public aid only covers 11% of the annual costs, and private donations are not enough. Our facilities are collapsing, and the animals are stressed. We owe over 10,000 euros to veterinarians, and the bills keep increasing. In May alone, we received 37 dogs. PLEASE, HELP US (donate, become a member, volunteer, or foster)

Hello everyone! I have just arrived at the shelter and everyone here recognizes me for my kindness and for how handsome they say I am. Also, they are very amused by my long white nose because they say it looks like I have put it in a cup of cream!

I am here very excited thinking that I am going to meet someone who will give me a home, but before I did not have this hope for a better future. I wandered around a town near Alcañiz for several weeks with my partner Carmela (she will be presented separately). Animal rights activists set up a feeding station with a trap. After countless attempts to rescue us, they finally succeeded and now we are safe in the shelter.

You can imagine that at first I was quite shy and reserved, but now I already receive rewards from my caregivers. I also let them me pet myself and I love it, and I am also very happy when someone enters my area. Little by little I am losing my reserves and I am very interested in getting in touch with people. Everyone says that with a little patience and understanding, I’ll quickly get used to living in a human home. I still don’t know many everyday situations, such as walking relaxed on a leash, traffic noise, travel in a car, etc., but with my curiosity and the great openness that I have shown towards everything, I know that I can achieve all this in no time.

I currently live in a group of dogs with two females with whom I get along very well. From the way everyone has evaluated me, I am and will be a dog without problems: I am not a dog that wants to have everything under control but rather wants to explore all new situations and interactions with animals and humans with curiosity and courage.

If you think I can fit into your life (and for this I need someone active, not someone who wants to watch Netflix all day), please contact my caregivers!

SPONSOR ME!

All animals available for adoption have a microchip and passport. They have been tested for common diseases (Leishmania for dogs, FeLV and FIP for cats). Adult animals are fully vaccinated and castrated.

* Until complete adaptation, adult supervision with small children is essential.

** This means we have tested the dog with cats in the shelter and has shown no reactive behaviour, but this does not guarantee 100% compatibility with cats. Therefore, we always advise that cats and dogs are together only under surveillance.
