Vallirana Becomes a Shelter of Hope for Abandoned Dogs and Cats

Vallirana becomes a refuge of hope for abandoned dogs and cats

The Animals Sense Sostre shelter, together with the Patas Arriba Foundation, fights to offer a second chance to hundreds of animals in Spain

In Spain, the abandonment of animals continues to be a worrying problem, but organizations such as the Patas Arriba Foundation and Animals Sense Sostre in Vallirana work tirelessly to change this reality. Between rescues, adoptions and daily care, these groups have become a benchmark for animal welfare.

Rosa Castañer, president of Animals Sense Sostre, explains how her team faces the challenges of caring for abused or abandoned animals on a daily basis. Each pet that arrives at the shelter represents a unique case and an enormous effort to ensure its recovery and adaptation.

Among the most striking cases is Aroma, a dog collected last year in critical condition. The illness and previous poor care forced him to lose his sight and fight Leishmaniasis. Today, under Castañer's care, Aroma receives constant medical attention and lives in foster care while she waits to be adopted.

The shelter's objectives are clear: to offer help to as many animals as possible. “Although conditions have improved, the shelter is always full. More are adopted, they are not sacrificed, but abandoned litters continue to arrive,” says Rosa. Reality shows that, despite progress, abandonment continues to be a constant.

Animals Sense Sostre resources come from various sources. The shelter maintains agreements with local councils, which provide financial support when an animal is rescued. In addition, donations and money raised through adoptions cover the costs of food, medication and veterinary care.

The process of integrating an animal into the shelter requires time and care. First, wait 20 days in case the original owner wants their pet back. Afterwards, the animal is castrated, vaccinated, dewormed and evaluated. Each stage is crucial to ensure that the animals can adapt and eventually find a forever home.

The work of volunteers is also key. Beyond basic care, they are responsible for socializing the animals, providing affection and accompanying them in their recovery process. The daily dedication of these people makes the difference between survival and definitive abandonment.

In addition to rescues and adoptions, the shelter organizes awareness campaigns. These initiatives seek to educate the population about responsible ownership and the importance of preventing abandonment, especially in times when abandonments increase, such as vacations or changes of residence.

Currently, Vallirana has become an example of social commitment and love for animals. The cooperation between foundations, municipalities and volunteers shows that, although abandonment remains a challenge, it is possible to offer second chances to those who need it most.

The Patas Arriba Foundation, for its part, complements this work by supporting various protectors throughout Spain. Their work consists of mobilizing resources, organizing urgent rescues and promoting responsible adoption. This collaboration has allowed many pets to find a safe home, away from suffering and neglect.

Rosa Castañer highlights the importance of each action, no matter how small it may seem. From a donation to the daily care of an animal, everything helps keep the wheels of rescue, recovery and adoption turning. The passion and commitment of everyone involved is the true driving force behind this work.

The future of Animals Sense Sostre involves continuing to expand its network of collaborators and consolidating the shelter as a safe and sustainable space. Education, awareness and solidarity are the keys to reducing abandonment and guaranteeing that each animal can enjoy a dignified and full life.

In summary, the work of this protector shows that, with dedication and joint effort, it is possible to transform lives. Dogs and cats that previously suffered abandonment now find care, affection and the possibility of being adopted, reminding us that every action counts and that empathy towards animals remains essential.
