Need a shelter?

Like all other animal shelters, we receive quite a number of phone calls asking us to take in an animal, often from far away. As you will know, it is very hard times for everybody and even worse times for charities: donations go down, while the prices go up and we are always shorthanded on volunteers (hint, hint!). Except for exceptional cases, we can therefore only consider helping the animals that live in our area.

If you have found an abandoned animal from outside our area, please consult this spreadsheet listing most of the animal shelters in East Spain. If you don't have Excel, a viewer can be downloaded from here from Microsoft.

Al igual todos los refugios de animales recibimos algunas llamadas pidiendo que acceptamos animales abandonados, a menudo de muy lejos. Como usted sabra, es un momento muy dificil para todos y aun peor para las organizaciones beneficas. Donaciones bajan y los gastos suben y necesitamos desesperadamente mas voluntarios. Salvo en circunstancias excepcionales solo podemos ayudar a los animales en nuestro area. Si ha encontrado un animal abandonado fuera de nuestra area, por favor consulte de aqui la lista de la mayoria de los refugios de animales en el este de Espana. Si usted no tiene Excel se puede descargar un visor de aqui de Microsoft.

Who are we?

Who are we? LAPS is a registered charity based near Pego (Alicante), Spain. Its aim is to offer medical aid and re-homing to local animals in need.

We are sponsored by The Charity Bookstall, so please buy your books in their stall on Pego market every Thursday!

LAPS would not be able to operate without help from supporters. We welcome donations of money so we can pay vet bills, buy food, beds, medicine and other necessities as well as maintain and expand our shelter. Donations of goods, for example unopened tins and bags of dog and cat food, leads, bowls, bedding material for our residents in the shelter are also very welcome. We are also desperate for volunteers helping with administration, cleaning, DIY work etc. a couple of hours every week.
