The sanctuary will take on any dog, no matter age, health, or condition. They will be cared for and rehabilitated, found homes or can stay here in our care for the remainder of their lives. We help dogs in the kill stations of Spain to find freedom and safety. Over ons Barkinside redt honden uit de omgeving en in heel Spanje. Ik assisteer ook andere reddingsacties die mijn hulp nodig hebben indien gevraagd en in staat ben (bezoek de " onze vrienden " pagina voor meer info). Het opvangcentrum kan elke hond aan, ongeacht leeftijd, gezondheid of conditie. Ze worden verzorgd en gerehabiliteerd, krijgen een thuis of kunnen de rest van hun leven bij ons blijven. Wij helpen honden in de dodingstations van Spanje om vrijheid en veiligheid te vinden. We hebben lokale pleegouders die me helpen bij het geven van huizen en stabiliteit aan de reddingsacties. We redden honden waar we kunnen die niet meer te helpen zijn, te oud, te ziek, te gewond, tot mentaal getekend/bang te zijn (bezoek de " onze reddingen " pagina voor hun verhalen en onze huidige oproepen). Wij zijn geen pensionkennel. We zijn ook geenprotectora (officiële Spaanse dierenwelzijnsorganisatie) dus we kunnen lokale zwerfhonden niet legaal oppikken. Voor deze service moet u een van de lokale hondenreddingsorganisaties Alma 622708013 of Hondon Valley Animal Rescue 676558432 bellen. Deze website promoot de honden die onder onze hoede zijn en geeft regelmatig updates over hun vorderingen en welzijn. Foto's en informatie over elke hond en het dagelijkse leven van het opvangcentrum en opvangcentrum en het werk dat we hier doen. Al het werk dat hier gebeurt, wordt gedaan door mensen met niets dan liefde in hun hart voor de honden en andere reddingsacties in residentie. Barkinside heeft een geweldig ondersteuningssysteem binnen de hondenredding en de lokale gemeenschap zonder wie we niet verder zouden kunnen. This website promotes those dogs in our care and gives regular updates on their progress and welfare. Photos and information on each dog and the daily life of the Rescue centre and sanctuary and the work we do here. All of the work that goes on here is done by those with nothing but love in their hearts for the dogs and other rescues in residence. Barkinside has a great support system within the dog rescue and local community without whom we could not carry on.

Casa de Griffon Creating awareness of the plight of the beautiful Spanish dog known as Griffons Hi, I have run Casa de Griffon for 5 years, heres a bit about my background in animal rescue. After fostering several griffons in England and hearing about the terrible abuse that Spanish Griffon Dogs go through, I decided to make the move to Galicia, northern Spain. Casa de griffon was set up 5 years ago to save as many dogs as possible from the horrendous abuse that they suffer here. Since arriving Casa de Griffon has taken care of over 500 dogs in all shapes and sizes Over Paraíso del Perro The Galicians are a large hunting province and their dogs of choice tend to be Griffons, Beagles and Podencos. The pounds are overflowing with several hundred dogs who are locked in concrete cages 24/7 unless they are released to adopters and rescuers. From pregnant old girls to ex hunting dogs who have been beaten and tied to short chains, this is the continual abuse these beautiful dogs have to endure. Just over two years ago, a property was found in northern Galicia and we have been busy building indoor enclosures and secure outdoor exercise areas where the dogs are assessed and rehabilitated so they can be adopted to the forever homes. Since arriving Casa de Griffon has taken care of over 500 dogs in all shapes and sizes Dougal and Nicky Alegria and Nicky Neem contact op met Paraíso del Perro Neem contact op met Paraíso del Perro Neem contact op met Paraíso del Perro

Where Dogs with a Story Find Their Forever Home High on a mountain between La Romana and Novelda, where on a clear night you can see the lights of Alicante sparkling in the distance, lies a very special place. This is where Jacqueline Roberts and her partner Roy run 'Barkinside Sanctuary '. It is not your average shelter, but a loving haven for the region's most vulnerable dogs. We visited Jacqueline to talk about passion, sacrifice, and the unconditional love for dogs. Jacqueline is a well-known face in the world of canine rescue. She has lived in Spain for 25 years. "Even as a child, I wanted to do something meaningful for dogs," she says with a smile. In England, she was heavily involved in fostering, but when her health declined, doctors advised her to move to the Spanish climate. After a period in La Manga and a brief return to England, love for Roy brought her back to Spain for good. "I always said I'd never come back, but look at us now: out here in the campo, in total peace, surrounded by our animals." The birth of a mission It all started 11 years ago. Although Jacqueline was working as a secretary for a charity at the time, she didn't quite find her niche there. However, the problem of abandoned dogs in the region was too large to ignore. When 24 dogs suddenly had nowhere to go and no foster homes available, Jacqueline and Roy made a bold decision: they built their own kennels and took them all in. Over the years, Barkinside evolved into a professional, independent organization. "At one point, we had an average of 60 dogs. When I turned 65, I thought: right, I'm retiring. We went back down to eight dogs, but I only lasted a week. I missed the work far too much." Jacqueline laughs when talking about the current number of residents: "I thought we had 20, but Roy says it's 43. Apparently, I can't count!" A sanctuary for the 'specials' Today, Barkinside has become a true sanctuary. This means the focus is on dogs with a 'backpack'** (special needs) . Think of blind dogs, disabled dogs, or those who can only get around with the help of a wheels. Whether it's dogs whose owners have passed away or those who were simply dumped, at Jacqueline's, they are given a life of dignity. The dedication is immense. Jacqueline lives in a caravan on the property, and alongside the dogs, the sanctuary is now also home to horses, donkeys, and cats. "It's hard work, but it's a wonderful life. Fortunately, we don't do it alone. With the help of five regular volunteers and a fantastic dog groomer who treats our dogs for free, we are able to keep this work going." Community support To cover the high costs of care and medication, Barkinside organizes numerous activities. Twice a month, they hold popular boot fairs (every second Sunday at Tipsy Terrace and the last Sunday in El Canton ). The lunches at Tipsy Terrace are also very well attended. The community is incredibly supportive, but extra help remains essential. "People donate food, blankets, and medication. Sometimes we even receive building materials like wood and nails, which we use to repair or improve the enclosures," Jacqueline says. She has a specific request for greeting cards: "Whether it's for birthdays or get-well wishes, we can really use them. You can drop them off at Tipsy Terrace or during our markets." Every donation, in whatever form, is incredibly welcome and makes a direct difference. A look at the future In the past 11 years, Barkinside has taken in 738 dogs, 650 of which have been rehomed. From dogs now living a life of luxury in Thailand to those adopted locally, the contact with new owners is never lost. Jacqueline notices that awareness in Spain is slowly growing. Through years of visiting schools and organizing events, she sees the attitude toward animal suffering changing. For Jacqueline and Roy, the goal remains simple: giving every dog a chance. "The dogs are our lives. There is joy when things go well, and sadness when we have to say goodbye to an old friend. I wouldn't want it any other way."

Friends of Barkinside, other rescues and sanctuaries we help and support. Onze vrienden ABOUT MASCOTAS de ZERO (Albatera) - Alicante "We are a company dedicated to the collection, shelter and custody of abandoned animals. We work with various town councils in the area of Murcia and Alicante, to whom we provide our service. We were formerly known as Agrupación Cereco, but we have recently changed our name to MASCOTAS DE ZERO, since over the years we have evolved and adapted to our values and social demand. Our most significant change arose in August 2019, when we relocated all our facilities to Albatera, becoming a single center. Our way of working is with ZERO SACRIFICE, which is why we have decided to include it in our new name. We believe in animal welfare and that is why our objectives are to improve to be able to meet the needs of animals. Our center has a reception area, where we care for pets once they arrive at our center, as well as an operating room where minor surgery and day-to-day tasks are treated. We publish all the animals we pick up, almost in real time, making it easier for owners to check that their pets are at our center and come pick them up. If after 21 days no one has claimed them, we will look for new families for them by putting them up for adoption. AVAILABILITY From 12:00 to 14:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Saturday. By appointment only.
