How It Works

Adoption

To adopt a dog from us, let us know which dog you are interested in by completing the short form on this page. We will get back to you and arrange a time to visit to the dog. If the visit goes well, we can arrange a home visit to check that your property is suitable for the you’ve dog chosen and if everything is OK then a home trial. If the home trial goes well for both you and the dog, the adoption will be confirmed and adoption paperwork will be completed including the change of microchip and the adoption contract. We also ask for an adoption fee of €100 for puppies and €150 for dogs which includes sterilisation.

If you live outside of Portugal we can still arrange adoptions. Please reach out to us if you are interested and we can explain the process.

Sponsor

If you are unable to physically adopt a dog from us, you could choose to sponsor one of our sanctuary dogs for €25 per month. Some of our dogs are unable to be rehomed due to health or behavioural issues and will stay with us for the remainder of their lives as a sanctuary dog. The monthly donation helps us to cover food, medications and medical bills for your chosen dogs. To virtually adopt one of our sanctuary dogs please contact us with your chosen dog and we will let you know the payment details. We will regularly send you updates of your dog and you are welcome to visit them.
