Female, European shorthair, spayed

Characteristics:

• Affectionate and very sociable
• Paralysed — unable to move her hind legs
• A fighter with an immense will to live and to love

History and personality:

Chantal was found on the street after being hit by a car and left out in the open. Nobody stopped to help her. Fortunately, she crossed paths with us — and we knew from the very first moment that she deserved a chance.

The accident left her with irreversible paralysis in her hind legs: Chantal cannot move them. But that has not slowed her joy or her will to live for a single instant. Little by little, thanks to the rehabilitation she is receiving, she is feeling better and better. She is an affectionate and very sociable cat — a wonderful adventure companion through whom you will discover what true love really means.

What she needs:

A home, or a sponsor, who wants to be part of her story and give her all the love she deserves.

Veterinary information:

Spayed. Irreversible paralysis of hind limbs. Currently undergoing rehabilitation.

Characteristics:

• Affectionate, cheerful, fun, balanced and very sociable
• Gets along beautifully with other dogs, other animals and children
• So loyal she can walk off-lead, always by your side
• Equally happy playing with the energy of a puppy or resting quietly — a perfectly balanced companion

History and personality:

There are special dogs. And then there is Chata. She is one of those dogs who, when you meet her, makes it hard to understand how she still doesn’t have a family. She has a way of looking at you, of being by your side and of enjoying life that wins anyone over instantly.

Chata is happy by nature. She always seems to be smiling, always ready to share a walk, a moment of play or simply to accompany you wherever you go. She has the energy and enthusiasm of a puppy when it is time to play, but she also knows how to relax and rest quietly. She is an incredibly well-balanced companion.

She loves being close to people. She is so loyal that she can walk off-lead, always attentive to being by your side. And at the same time, she also manages perfectly well on her own when needed. She has that wonderful ability to adapt to any situation. She lives happily alongside other dogs, male or female, and other animals too. Her noble, patient and affectionate nature makes her an ideal companion for any type of family, including those with children.

What she needs:

All she needs now is a home where she can carry on doing what she does best: loving. Chata doesn’t need grand things to be happy — just a family to share walks, play, cuddles and many years of love with. We are certain that whoever meets Chata will not just be adopting a dog. They will be taking home an absolute treasure.

Veterinary information:

Spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport. Tested positive for leishmaniasis, fully controlled with daily medication. Otherwise enjoying a good quality of life.

Characteristics:

• Very affectionate, calm and extraordinarily noble
• Gets along beautifully with all other dogs, regardless of size or gender
• Loves human contact, cuddles and his daily walk — he calls from his pen when it’s time to go out
• One of those dogs who always leans in close, as if quietly saying thank you for being there

History and personality:

Charlie arrived at the shelter after being found alone, wandering in a nearby village. He was frightened and had a deep wound on the right side of his jaw, likely caused by the bite of a larger dog.

What surprised us most was discovering that, despite everything he had been through, Charlie holds no grudge. He is an incredibly sweet dog who gets along wonderfully with any other dog, male or female, big or small. His character is as noble as his gaze — though he does seem to be a shy one, as he tends to close his eyes in front of a camera. His wound was treated from the very first day and is healing well. During veterinary tests we also discovered that Charlie has leishmaniasis, which, combined with his age, may mean his recovery takes a little longer.

Today Charlie is a completely different dog from the one who arrived. He is relaxed, enjoys his routine and looks forward to his walk every day. He loves to stroll calmly, receive strokes and stay close to the people who care for him. He is one of those dogs who always seeks to lean against you, as if wanting to thank you simply for being there. Charlie has won the hearts of everyone who has met him — he has that special sweetness that only some dogs carry, and right now, an immense happiness that is impossible not to feel.

What he needs:

We are looking for a home where he can enjoy the peace, affection and stability he has probably never known. A family that sees in Charlie everything we see every day: a wonderful, grateful companion full of love to give.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport. To be neutered shortly. Tested positive for leishmaniasis, currently under treatment and being monitored.

Characteristics:

• Affectionate, cheerful and playful — she brightens up the day just by being there
• Loves cuddles: she rolls onto her back in the lap of whoever is next to her, waiting for the strokes to never end
• Walks beautifully, calm and without pulling on the lead
• Sociable with other dogs, quickly bringing out her most joyful and fun side

History and personality:

Samba arrived at the shelter after being found alone on the street. Fortunately, before reaching us she was lucky enough to cross paths with a wonderful family who took her in for a few days and gave her the affection and security she so needed.

She is a young dog, full of life and with an enormous desire to enjoy the world. She loves to play, run and discover everything around her, but if there is one thing she loves even more, it is cuddles. She has a habit that melts our hearts: she rolls onto her back in the lap of whoever is beside her, just like a little cat, waiting for the strokes to never end.

With other dogs she gets along very well. She may seem a little unsure at first, but she quickly understands that she has new friends to play and share adventures with. Samba is one of those dogs who brightens up the day just by looking at her. She has an expression full of light, an infectious joy and an enormous capacity to give affection to everyone she meets.

What she needs:

All she needs now is a family who will love her forever. A home where she can grow, play, receive all the cuddles she loves so much and live the happy life she deserves. We are certain that from here on, only wonderful things await her.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport. To be spayed shortly. Tested negative for all infectious diseases screened.

Characteristics:

• Sweet, sensitive and calm — a noble little dog with a lot of love to give
• Sociable with other dogs, regardless of size or gender
• Walks beautifully on the lead, relaxed and without pulling, once she accepts it
• Needs time, patience and a calm hand to discover that she is already safe

History and personality:

Fay arrived at the shelter after being found alone on the street. We don’t know her history, but we can see the marks it has left on her. She is a dog who still lives on high alert, who doesn’t allow herself to be touched easily and for whom something as simple as a lead seems to be a completely new experience.

Every day we work with her to help her build confidence and to show her that she no longer needs to be afraid. And although there is still a way to go, Fay constantly shows us the wonderful dog hiding behind her insecurities. Because as soon as she manages to relax and feels she can trust, something beautiful happens: she melts completely. She comes closer, lies down beside us and seeks physical contact with a tenderness that is deeply moving.

Little by little, the real Fay is beginning to emerge: curious, affectionate and full of light. The company of other dogs gives her a great deal of confidence, though she can also be on her own. We are certain that her fear is something she will be able to overcome, because behind that tense body and cautious gaze is a young dog who simply wants to feel protected and loved.

What she needs:

We are looking for a patient and respectful home for Fay, one willing to accompany her through this process and give her all the time she needs to blossom. She just needs a calm hand, a gentle voice and someone who can give her the security she probably never had. We are certain that whoever opens their heart to her will discover an exceptional companion.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport. To be spayed shortly. Awaiting results of infectious disease tests, though she appears to be in good health.

Characteristics:

• Calm, serene and full of quiet wisdom
• Enjoys gentle walks, strokes and a comfortable bed
• A gentle old soul whose peace touches everyone around him

History and personality:

Séneca was found alone, walking the streets, his body exhausted and silently asking for help. We were alerted because it was clear something was wrong. Tests revealed what we had feared: a highly advanced abdominal tumour compromising nearly all of his vital organs. A CT scan confirmed that, given its size, how long it had been developing and the internal damage caused, the mass is inoperable. His age and physical condition mean that surgery would carry too great a risk to his life.

With that, we made the most respectful decision we could: to accompany him through palliative care, with one single goal — that he lives free from pain, with dignity and as comfortably as possible.

He is a being of light. A gentle old boy who, despite everything, still finds joy in the simplest things: a quiet walk, a stroke, a soft bed. His calm and wisdom touch us deeply. He is, without a doubt, a teacher to all of us.

What he needs:

Séneca will need medication and specialist nutrition for the time he has left. We are deeply grateful to be by his side during this chapter, and to finally give him everything he was missing for so long: care, respect and love. Séneca will never be alone again.

Above all, we are looking for sponsors who want to be part of his journey and help us cover his treatments, medication and special diet. Because every life matters. And Séneca deserves, more than ever, to be loved and cared for until the very end.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport. Currently receiving palliative treatment.

Characteristics:

• Playful, affectionate and grateful
• Loves cuddles and human contact, and places full trust in people
• Gets along well with other cats and is suitable for homes with children
• Requires special care and ongoing veterinary follow-up

History and personality:

Minu arrived at the Sanctuary with a difficult past, but with a strength that is truly moving. When she was very young, she was found on the street with a spinal injury that left her paralysed. It is an irreversible condition, but her will to live is unstoppable. Because Minu is not her injury. Minu is light, tenderness and a little fighter who enjoys life in her own way.

She is a beautiful, sweet and deeply affectionate cat. Despite everything she has been through, she trusts people completely and lets herself be cared for with a gentleness that is impossible not to fall in love with. Here she lives alongside Chantal and Nórdica in a space specially adapted for paralysed cats, where she can get around in her little wheelchair and share her daily life with others like her.

What she needs:

Minu requires more attention than most cats: special care, veterinary follow-up and consistent dedication. Finding a family for her would be a true miracle. But if that day never comes, she has a forever home here. Above all, we are looking for sponsors who want to be part of her story and help us ensure she never goes without. Because Minu deserves a long, dignified life full of love — just like every animal does.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

Características:

• Sensible y noble, con una gran capacidad de superación
• Disfruta de los paseos, las chuches y el contacto con personas de confianza
• Puede convivir con otros perros tras una correcta adaptación

Historia y personalidad:

Hugo es un perro muy especial, de esos que han pasado por la oscuridad pero aún así siguen guardando luz dentro. Fue encontrado atado con su propia correa a un palo, completamente solo, sin nadie alrededor. No sabemos cuánto tiempo llevaba allí ni qué había vivido antes, pero su miedo hablaba por sí solo.

Al llegar al refugio estaba aterrorizado; durante un tiempo era imposible tocarle sin que se asustara y saliera huyendo. Pero poco a poco, con paciencia, respeto y mucho cariño, Hugo ha ido cambiando. Hoy ya no es aquel perro paralizado por el miedo: ahora viene a saludarte por la mañana, disfruta muchísimo de sus paseos, le encantan las chuches y empieza a descubrir el maravilloso mundo de los mimos. Cuando ve a las personas que lo cuidan se llena de alegría, casi como un cachorrito, con una mirada llena de amor que emociona.

Aun así, Hugo sigue siendo un perro sensible que necesita un entorno tranquilo. Los movimientos bruscos o los ruidos inesperados todavía pueden asustarlo, por eso buscamos para él una familia paciente, de manos suaves y rutinas calmadas. Un hogar donde no tenga que demostrar nada y donde, por fin, pueda sentirse seguro.

Con otros perros puede presentarse de forma intensa al principio, pero después convive correctamente. Ha compartido espacios con machos y hembras de distintos tamaños, e incluso en ocasiones invita al juego. Ver cómo un alma que ha sufrido tanto aún conserva esas ganas de disfrutar nos llena el corazón.

Hugo merece conocer la vida que siempre debió tener: una casa, una cama cómoda, paseos tranquilos y personas que lo quieran tal y como es. Detrás de su historia dura hay un perro noble, agradecido y lleno de amor esperando su oportunidad.

Lo que necesita:

Busca un hogar sereno y paciente que le ofrezca seguridad, cariño y estabilidad para siempre.

Información veterinaria:

Castrado, vacunado, desparasitado, testado negativo en enfermedades infecciosas, con chip y pasaporte UE.

ANALYSIS: Negative in Mediterranean diseases upon arrival

A few days ago, when a volunteer arrived at the shelter, she found Mango and her partner Mora sitting at the door: both were waiting for someone to arrive, totally confused, not knowing what had happened.

Possibly someone arrived with their car and left them at the door.

Mango is a 5-year-old male Labrador and just by looking at his face you can see that he has had a very hard life: it seems that years ago he suffered a serious blow to his head that has been left a little deformed, you can also see chronic edema in his right eye also caused by this old trauma.

They are old injuries that have no cure but do not cause any type of disturbance so that you can lead a normal life.

He is a kind and friendly boy who deserves to be loved and cared for like never before. His eyes reflect the hardness of the life he has had to live until now.

He is sociable with male and female dogs, also very sociable with people (men, women and children). In the first tests we have done, he is compatible with the cats in our cat flap, but if the family that wants to adopt him has cats, we would do new tests and videos so that the family itself valued.

Mango is a very polite and obedient boy who loves to walk on a leash and receive lots of cuddles, an ideal companion for an active and kind family that wants to know the true love that only animals are capable of giving.

Someone who can fill your life with joy, someone who needs to be seen and who needs an opportunity to give all the love he has inside.

He’s very clean in his place too.

If you have fallen in love, if you have felt it inside…write us!

He is sociable with other male and female dogs but he doesn’t like to be bothered a lot, he prefers to be calm, age things!

Not suitable for living with puppies or high energy dogs. Shows no particular
interest in children.

He walks very well on a leash and although he only learned how to use it here, it looks like he will need the leash for life!

If it is compatible with cats you need further testing. If there are any interested families that
have cats, we can send a video of their reactions!

It is clean in the house. You’ve had a lot to learn since you arrived!

Trueno suffered a lot, his look and his gestures spoke to us of fear, loneliness, mistrust…

One of his eyes is completely blind, it seems to be the result of a serious ulcer that has not been treated in the past, now there is nothing we can do.

We believe his suspicions also had to do with the lack of vision and the severe trauma
he suffered. Now, in a safer environment, his perspective changes.
