Abrigo de Carinho - Associação Amigos dos Animais is a non-profit dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals, currently caring for 140 dogs and 40 cats. Every year, 30,000 animals are abandoned on Portuguese streets, facing neglect and abuse. They provide medical care, sterilisation, and work tirelessly to find responsible homes for these at-risk animals. Operating with limited resources, they rely on donations and support from those who share their passion.

Our donation will have a significant impact, covering veterinary costs, improving food quality, and supporting adoption efforts, directly benefiting the animals in their care and ensuring the continuation of their mission.

Associação Midas, a non-profit founded in 1998, has operated a shelter in Matosinhos since 2006. They rescue, treat, and rehome around 300 dogs and cats each year, giving them a second chance at a life of respect and love.

They believe that caring for animals leads to a fairer society. Their work includes educational campaigns in schools, participating in CED (Capture, Sterilize, Return) programmes, and supporting families in need with food and veterinary care.

Our donation will cover the total cost of veterinary care and food for one month.
