The Mission
The Los Barrios dog pound must relocate — urgently.
The pound sits on a floodplain.
The Palmones river rises and floods the site.
As storms get worse, the dogs are at greater risk.
Volunteers are forced to evacuate more than 300 dogs.
The current site is no longer safe.
Help the dogs move to higher ground. — Watch Perros
The Problem
The Solution
To date around €250,000 has been raised.
With these funds the volunteers have secured 3 hectares of land close to Los Barrios but on higher ground.
The site has been cleared and fenced — but they need much more funding to begin construction.
An additional €900,000 is required to take the pound from from a muddy field into a purpose-built animal shelter.
The New Location
The solution is a new, purpose-built shelter.
The volunteers have secured land away from the flood risk.
Planning approval is in place.
Dry, secure kennels — with safe exercise areas.
Proper space for care, recovery and adoption.
The pound can operate safely all year round, without the constant threat of flooding.
Now they need funding to build it.
