Fighting for those without a voice

We search for kind, caring, patient forever families in the UK to adopt Spanish Stray dogs that have been rescued from the streets of Spain. Our dogs have mostly known sadness, cruelty and have only known a life of neglect and abuse. If you would like to offer one of our dogs a home please contact us.  Since 2012 we have helped over hundreds of Spanish Stray Dogs find forever homes in the UK.

As well as searching for forever families to adopt our dogs, we also fund-raise for money that can help pay transport costs and cover things like vet bills for our dogs. We also constantly collect donations of flea and tick products, treats, toys, and light weight blankets to send to the dogs in Spain. If you would like a postal address to post your donation to please email us.

Spanish Stray Dogs UK is a UK registered charity set up in 2012. Our SCIO charity number is SC043486 and we are regulated by the OSCR.

We work closely with the Spanish Charity SOS Los Barrios www.perreradelosbarrios.com.

Testimonials

Spanish Stray Dogs truly do such an amazing job, the transition from initial contact to a rescue in your arms and heart is easy and so rewarding

Emma Davis

Helping to get a dog out of a pound is such a rewarding thing to do by adopting, but the next best thing is to foster. It is so heart-warming to see these beautiful animals given the chance to show what they are capable of with love and care before they go to their forever home.

Amee lives for helping dogs and has helped to raise many thousands of pounds to improve the living conditions of the dogs that remain at the Los Barrios Municipal Kennel, where she once was a volunteer, as well as funds for castration projects and running costs.
