Goldra dog Sanctuary is a private run dog shelter overlooking Loule, Algarve. We look after about 70 unwanted dogs and puppies, many of our adult dogs are very old or have health or human issues. We constantly have puppies in our care and have a good foster home support until they can be adopted. Funds raised will be used for food, medications and veterinary costs. Jan Henderson runs the shelter and has been onsite since 2011. Canigoldra Associacao is a non-profit organisation.

Benafim Dogs is a privately run dog sanctuary in the Algarve. We care for up to 30 dogs of all ages and sizes. The dogs have either been abandoned, surrendered or rescued from situations of cruelty and abuse. In addition we provide support to municipal kennels in the Algarve by taking out dogs who often have been incarcerated for years. Our ultimate aim is to rehabilitate and rehome each dog. We need your support to provide the care every single dog needs on a daily basis in the meantime.
