Pay for the adoption cost
Our cats and dogs need a second chance, a home to forget difficult and traumatic moments of abandonment. This is why our main goal is adoption. Bear in mind that, by adopting, you save two lives: that of the animal you adopt and that of the animal that can take its place in the shelter.
In our search engine, you can find daily updated information on the animals we collect and take in. Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and you must take deeply into account everything that implies bringing an animal home. Therefore, before coming, we recommend filling in the adoption form and then we will set a date for you to come.
Thank you for your understanding! And most importantly: let our caregivers advise you and you will find your four-legged soulmate!

Adoption campaigns
The most important thing to us is that all animals arriving at our shelters are adopted. This is why we want to support the families that give a chance to animals having a more difficult situation by helping them with an adoption campaign: ‘the Unwanted ones’.
For the animals in this campaign, the adoption cost is only €60 regarding the microchip, and we support the adopter according to the problem that the adopted animal has.
In the case of potentially dangerous dogs, their adoption costs only €35, to compensate for the expense of adopting the cost of license and psychotechnical.
What are the animals that no one wants and what help do we offer?
Sick cats and dogs. Their adoption cost is only €60, and we offer veterinary support at reduced prices in our facilities regarding the disease the animal is suffering from.
Very old cats and dogs. Their adoption cost is only €60, and we offer veterinary support at reduced prices in our facilities regarding the health problems the animal may have.
Cats and dogs that may have adaptation problems in the new home. Their adoption cost is only €60, and we offer support with an educator to ease their adaptation to the new family.
Dogs of the misnamed group of ‘potentially dangerous breeds’ (PDD). Most people coming to the shelter tell us they don’t want a PDD. To balance these dogs’ stigmatization, we have included them in the Unwanted ones campaign. Their adoption cost is only €35, and we offer a discount on the psychotechnical test price.
NOTE: If an animal shows two or more traits of the ones listed above, it will have all the benefits. For instance, if a dog is PDD and it also has an adaptation problem and is sick, it will have veterinary support at reduced prices regarding its disease, educator support to ease its adaptation to the new home and a discount on the psychotechnical test.
