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.

Vitor volunteered with us for almost a month at our shelter. From the very beginning, he brought a friendly attitude and a great vibe that was felt by both the team and the animals. He was always willing to help, never hesitating to offer his suppor. Vitor approached every task with kindness, responsibility, and care, and his positive energy made our daily work lighter and more joyful. We are very grateful for his time, dedication, and the love he shared with our animals and the people!

Mathew stayed with us for three weeks and came during the Christmas period, which was an especially busy and important time for our team. His help was truly valuable and greatly appreciated. He is a dedicated, kind, and reliable volunteer who always approached his tasks with care and responsibility. Mathew showed great empathy with the animals and created a special bond with Tuna, one of our most lonely dogs, giving him attention, patience, and companionship.We are very grateful for his support!

I had an amazing experience at the Shelter. The people there were incredibly kind and welcoming from the first day, and it never felt like work because it was so much fun.

Taking care of the dogs and cats was truly rewarding the dogs are wonderful, and you can really see and feel that the work you do makes a difference. It’s very meaningful to help abandoned animals and be part of something so positive.

The location is also great, which made the whole experience even better. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves animals and wants to have a fullfilling experience:)

Ronja volunteered with us for two weeks and proved to be an excellent and dedicated helper. She approached both dogs and cats with great care, patience, and genuine affection, quickly earning their trust. Ronja was always reliable, positive, and willing to help wherever needed. What truly stood out was her initiative: she often chose to walk the dogs even during her free time. Ronja would be a valuable asset to any organization she chooses to support!

The work is well structured and meaningful, and I always felt welcomed and appreciated as a volunteer. ARA is a place where compassion and responsibility come together, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals. The dogs and cats are lovely and friendly. A really cool experience.

Sara stayed with us for two weeks in our shelter, and we were truly happy to welcome her back after her stay last summer. Her return during the New Year’s Eve period, when we have fewer volunteers, was especially appreciated. She is always willing to help, even on her days off, and approaches every task with kindness, dedication, and responsibility. Sara spent a lot of time with Brutus and formed a strong and positive bond with him. We are very grateful for her support and would have her back!
