  • Protectora Scooby – please help feed our animals

    Horses donkeys hay 400
    From Scooby Protectora.

    Last year, climatologically speaking, was very bad for our sanctuary residents, and this year is coming just as or even worse…
    The forage is scarce and we are having to buy a lot of thought to elders to keep our animals well fed, assuming this a great economic discharge.
    We have sown alfalfa and we are hoarding and taking advantage of all that we can, but this is not enough for the 50 horses and donkeys and the 46 sheep and goats who live in our Sanctuary, so we ask help for them, so they can have the happy life that they deserve.
    Any contribution will be more than welcome.

  • El Refugio de Leo Shelter, Axarquia – dreaming to improve our shelter

    El Refugio fundraiser 400 8 2023
    El Refugio de Leo is a non-profit association registered in the Registry of Associations of the Junta de Andalucía. Most of the people who care for it are volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to help and care for abandoned and mistreated animals in the Axarquia.

    The animals we have stay with us until they find a home.

    Our Mission is to welcome them, give them shelter and basic care such as food and hygiene, veterinary care, affection and prepare them for a second chance.

    Leo’s Refuge survives thanks to membership fees, donations, sponsors and events organized by our volunteers.

    We invite you to browse our website, get to know us and our animals and help us in any way you can.

    El Refugio de Leo are now running a fundraiser. Here’s what they say about it.

  • Puntanimals Shelter, Umbria, Huelva – dozens of galgos needing forever homes

    Puntanimals Esperanza 400 8 2023
    This is the story of Puntanimals Shelter in Umbria, yet another area bad for hunting dogs. (This stunner is Esperanza)

    ‘https://www.puntanimals.org/nuestra-historia/

    Puntanimals is a non-profit association created to help abandoned and mistreated animals. The idea was born from the hands of a fighter, animal lover who wanted his dream of helping those most in need to come true. We are located in the town of Punta Umbría (Huelva). Since before having the shelter, we already collected the animals that we found and we looked for a home where they were safe and had their needs covered. Officially we have been operating since 2011, it was when we decided to rent a place to be able to protect all the animals while we look for a definitive and responsible adoption for them.

  • Virtual Adoption with Protectora Scooby animals

    Scooby Granny 400
    If you haven’t room in your home to adopt anymore deserving animals, why not try Virtual Adoption. Virtual Adoption is where a person or organisation supports an animal in a shelter rather than taking them into their own home. Scooby Medina has animals which they would love finanaia help with their feeding and care.

    There are lots of animals to choose from, including:

    Granny – an oldie
    Donja – has only one ear
    Zuki – had gangrene before arriving at the shelter and lost both of her back paws;
    Paris – the gentle giant and an old faithful
    Alba the albino horse is there with
    Cayenne y Pepper, the donkeys and Axel & Robin our new goats. All overseen by Blackie the head
    of the cats in our cattery!

  • I-CAD, Europenet.com, Check a chip.com – microchipping is compulsory for dogs, cats, horses and ferrets

    Petlog_logo_350
    A new programme on UK TV is called ‘Lost Dogs Live’ which is about getting the watching public involved in tracing lost dogs. One of the startling pieces of information to come out of the programme was that in the UK there are 15 registered microchip companies. Besides the importance of microchipping your dog, it is also vitally important that up-to-date information is registered with the microchip company about the address at which your dog/cat lives.

    It is commonplace to assume that once you register with a veterinary clinic and they record your pet’s microchip, if the animal goes missing they will be able to trace if it turns up elsewhere, especially if it is suspected stolen.

    Not the case!
