Find your new best friend
We are a volunteer-run association that rescues, cares for and rehomes abandoned animals. At our shelter in Igreja Nova, Mafra, close to 100 animals are waiting for a family. Every adoption frees up space to save another life.
They are waiting for you
We care for those without a voice
We rescue animals from abandonment, abuse and danger. We give them veterinary care, food and, above all, time and love.
At our shelter on Rua do Murtal in Igreja Nova (Mafra), close to 100 dogs and cats are in our care. Some live in foster homes until they find their forever home. We are run by volunteers, and every helping hand makes all the difference.
