We found the place for our animal shelter!!! Up on the mountain, in Maima, far away from houses or neighbours, who might feel disturbed.

It's a big piece of land (12000 sqm). For now we will fence in a small piece in a protected area
Since we are still at the beginning, we only have few animals to take care of. As soon as there will be more, the fence can be expanded as needed (and according to our financial possibilities).

A lot of work has been done, mainly by volunteers. The property and building was tidied up and a part fenced in.

Unfortunately the last part of the access road is in very bad condition and we can’t drive there, even with a Jeep. The municipality has promised to fix the road. As soon as this has happened we can continue: stabilizing the fence with cement, building dog kennels, etc.

Currently we only have water in water tanks, and to refill those we need a drivable road. The municipality has also agreed to connect the animal shelter with a water pipeline.

We will probably be able to accommodate the first animals from September onwards.

In the meantime, we are trying to find other solutions for a few dogs that we already have in our care.

Since we depend on donations for our projects, we have put donation boxes in several shops, hotels and bars to ensure that the many animal lovers who visit our island in the summer season can support our work.
