Animal Rescue Algarve

We are a NGO formed to help abandoned and mistreated animals in the Algarve, South of Portugal.
Our kennels are beautiful little wooden houses, fully insulated, where we pair 2 dogs maximum in each kennel so they have a peaceful place to chill and sleep. All our dogs go for walks and have fun time at our parks every day.

We have a very motivated team that genuinely love animals. This place has proven to be a healing place not only for animals but to a few good human souls too :) Our goal is to give a second chance to those abandoned dogs and cats by finding them new loving families and homes, locally and abroad :-) We also aim to educate and inform the local population about the benefits of sterilising their animals and the raise awareness about animal welfare.

Choosing ARA as my first volunteer project was the best decision I could have made. The animals, the people, and the whole place grow incredibly dear to you very quickly. The work and the working hours are really fair, and you also have plenty of free time! The entire team is very friendly, open, and always helpful, so you quickly feel welcome and integrated. All the dogs and cats are really well cared for, and it's a joy to be able to help out with that every day. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and can wholeheartedly recommend a stay at ARA to everyone!! :))

Charlotte volunteered with our dogs and cats shelter for four weeks, and she was an excellent volunteer throughout her time with us. She was reliable, hardworking, and always completed her tasks with care and dedication. Charlotte worked very well with both the animals and the team, showing kindness, patience, and a positive attitude every day. She was friendly, respectful, and always willing to help wherever needed. Her contribution was truly appreciated and we would be happy to have her back!
