Transforming
Animal Welfare
Across Spain

No animal belongs on the street. Spain leads Europe in pet abandonment — a crisis made by human decisions, not by animals. We're here to change that: empowering animal welfare associations, volunteers, communities and municipalities with the tools, training, and tech to save lives and reshape the future.

292,000 pets abandoned annually in Spain. That puts Spain as number one in Europe. Both in total and per capita.
292,000 abandoned animals means 292,000 human decisions.
It's not an animal problem. It's a human problem.
What we can all agree on?
Whether you love animals or hate them, no one wants them on the streets. We all share a common goal.
Our Mission & Vision

Building Communities
That Care for Animals

We believe that no animal should be on the street, and all animals should be treated with dignity. Our mission is to create a future where all animals are cared for, lost and abandoned animals are a thing of the past, and everyone has the knowledge and resources to make responsible decisions about animal welfare.
We strive to develop scalable solutions that can be widely adopted, leading to lasting, positive change in animal welfare practices. We do so by supporting the volunteers who are already taking on problems caused by human decisions, often with little recognition or support.
No animal should live on the street, and no volunteer should work alone.

Many well-meaning animal welfare efforts struggle not from lack of passion, or expertise, but from lack of systematic operational support. Our approach applies proven organizational development principles to bridge this gap, providing the coordination tools and standardized resources that help good intentions translate into effective action.

Our long-term vision: A Spain where systematic prevention reduces animal abandonment from 292,000 to under 100,000 annually. This represents not only reduced animal suffering, but significant savings for Spanish municipalities currently spending millions of euros on crisis response and animal control services.
