Hi woofers! Yesterday we went on a trip 🚌! First some sightseeing, then a pizza lunch break and in the afternoon swimming in the river 🛝 Rainbow got to be the driver 🫣 Rubio didn’t want to come on the trip as he gets car-sick. (With RB driving we all did…🤢) but we brought him pizza and the humans had a long drink with him afterwards. What a day! # enjoythemoment

Hi Woofers, today we want to put these two wonderful women in the spotlight 💡: Andrea and Candela. We’re told they are volunteers which means they come out of their own free will! No hard cash involved 💰Every Monday they walk with us, cuddle us and give us treats! We are completely in love. Help us give them a ❤️ # enjoythemoment

One year ago already, we got the terrible news we would never see you again wondering around the shelter, hugging dogs, teaching volunteers, convincing adoptants, making things right that were wrong…. Always giving more than 100% of yourself, doing things in your own typical way.
I remember receiving the voice message on my way from ‘your’ London to Madrid, just before having to turn off my phone for take off. What a strange coincidence in the light of your working career…
The day after when walking the dogs I first saw this ‘door to heaven’. I imagined you flying around in your taupe coloured Toyota picking up all dogs on their way up, taking care of them like you always did, only now without worries; They would never be hungry, abandoned, in pain or endlessly waiting for an adoption anymore. I’m sure they immediately made you manager of doggy heaven 🧡
And that same walk, when the sky cleared up, I saw this pronounced rainbow, following me persistently along my way as if you were saying that you would always be there keeping an eye on everyone of us. Thanks Barbara-ann White for all you’ve done and for who you were. We miss you lots.

Good day Woofers! Today I want to share with you a hiding technique 🫣that I think I’m very good at: pretend being part of the interior. I apply this when I do not want to get out of the bus 🚌. Although it does not always work perfectly. Have to practice a bit on my performance there…🐶 # enjoythemoment

Three things we love most about cleaning our dog villa…? 1. We don’t have to do it ourselves…🪣 2. Quickly sit on carpets and couches when the vacuum cleaner comes to get extra attention 3. When they take a coffee break☕️, we get the cookie 🍪 yeah woofers..it is a tough life 🐶 # enjoythemoment

DIGNITY - one of the pillars of our forever home - Sanctuary Piña and Pepe - is that it is giving us back our dignity. After a life where we were used, neglected, abandoned and treated as if our lives had no value, we now can be who we are and are loved for it. Thanks for following us ❤️ # enjoythemoment

Hi woofers, it has been a while. It’s because we’re so busy helping mom doing all the things to start the Casa Rural. So people can come for a short stay and besides hiking, enjoying nature or visiting Madrid or surrounding, they can also visit us!! Tell you more about it later. Now back to work ❤️ # enjoythemoment

Hi Woofers, Torrone here. My gurl Kitty got some nasty spots on her skin about a week after our arrival in Spain. Perhaps from stress or food; no idea. So she went for a first visit to and Kitty told me they have snacks there! With a special shampoo & cream, a couple of days a treat-funnel and lots of love from me Torrone and our hoomans, she became a beautiful princess again and smelling incredibly nice as well. Love her to bits! ❤️

09/08/2023

Kitty is discovering she loves to play. And she really wants to invite Torrone to play along and feel the same happiness ❤️

Hi Woofers! So here are some nice family pictures from us, Torrone and Kitty, enjoying our new life and each-other. We hope our sanctuary family will grow a bit further but for now we have the whole villa, garden, swimming pool and all humans just for ourselves ❤️ and boy do we like our home!
