Together, we save lives

THE Under Dog animal rescue service in the Torre del Mar area is facing a severe financial crisis. Historically, abandoned puppies brought regular income through quick adoptions. However, in February 2023, two puppies contracted Parvovirus, and while they survived, the financial burden was heavy.
Impact of Parvovirus Outbreak on Operations
Post-Parvo, they couldn t take in puppies for 8 to 12 months, so they welcomed three ‘older’ dogs in need. Additionally, two dogs were returned, one severely traumatised. Currently, one Parvo survivor is still unadopted. Most of their dogs are large and older, making adoptions harder and more costly due to their higher food requirements.
The Urgent Need for Financial Assistance
With only €102 left, they struggle to afford necessary treatments like tick, flea, and leishmaniasis protection, and they emphasise the importance of quality food for the animals health.
To raise funds, The Under Dog has organised events, and more events and a Summer hamper raffle are planned.
