Spain is renowned for its year-round sun, sparkling sea and stunning landscapes. But this beautiful country has an ugly side. Every year, hundreds of thousands of dogs are abandoned, abused and mis-treated in ways which seem shocking for an EU member country.

Costa Canine Rescue UK works to support and re-home Spanish strays. There are lots of ways to help - adopt a dog, become a foster carer, volunteer, fundraise or make a donation. Please. We know we can't change the whole world but, with your support, we can change it for one dog at a time. Thank you.
