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 our sister organisation register charity Spanish Stray Dogs (charity number G93320919) and remain in close contact with the dogs we bring to the UK during every part of their rescue.

Amee Nicol
Founder
Amee founded Spanish Stray Dogs, our sister organisation, in 2010 whilst she was living in Spain in order to help a stray dog called Ben.
Since 2010 Amee has run Spanish registered charity Spanish Stray Dogs and helped to find homes for hundreds of dogs all over the world, as well as helping to save 40 Laboratory beagles in Barcelona who were due to be euthuanized https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCps1uHVVaA .
During her time in Spain Amee worked as a volunteer for two years at a Spanish council kennel and knows first hand the sadness and cruelty that these dogs endure. 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.
Since 2012 she began to bring dogs into the UK and Spanish Stray Dogs UK was born . Amee lives with her two Spanish Stray Dogs called Sir Pete and Dennis
