WHO WE ARE:

APAP-ALCALÁ IS A NON-PROFIT PRIVATE ENTITY

It has been legally incorporated and registered with the Registry of Associations of the Community of Madrid under number 2995. It is a member of the Board of Animal Protection and Welfare of the Community of Madrid, a consultative and advisory authority on animals, formed by representatives from the Regional Ministry of the Environment, Directorate General of Agriculture, Federation of Municipalities, SEPRONA, Royal Dog Society, Animal Protection Associations and the Veterinary Associations AMVAC, AVEPA and the Veterinary Medical Association

It forms part of the Federation of Associations for Animal Protection and Defence in the Community of Madrid (FAPA), founded in Madrid in 1999.

IT IS FUNDED BY CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY THE MEMBERS, SUPPORTERS AND SYMPATHIZERS. IT HAS A SHELTER FOR ABANDONED DOGS

The shelter and adoption centre is managed by a team of volunteers; we work to make this animal protection centre a decent shelter, where our animals feel protected, are fed, have a clean place, where they get veterinary assistance, training, exercise and a lot of love, while they wait to be re-homed.

As one of our main aims, we want to provide the dogs in our shelter with a decent life in the shelter, as we are aware that, for some of them, the shelter will be their home for a long time. We want it to be a place where dogs with a problem may improve and recover. We want it to be a stepping stone to prepare them for adoption.

Our dogs ARE NOT PUT TO SLEEP, except for specific cases, a terminal disease or if there is no cure for them and this prevents them from having a normal and decent life, and always following the advice of a veterinary surgeon and without causing any suffering to the animal.
Our shelter has a special area where newly arrived dogs are isolated. During the quarantine several tests are done to the dog, the dog is vaccinated, dewormed externally and internally, and neutered. Once his/her general condition has been checked and his/her character has been assessed, the dog is moved to an area where he/she will share his/her life with other dogs.

Dogs are assigned to different kennels made of brick and with insulated wooden floors, with individual areas where the dogs can walk and a bigger common area where the dogs can run and play. This will be their new home until a new and final home is found for them.
The main aim of the Association is to offer ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY to abandoned animals, to find a new home for them, and to make sure that re-homed dogs are not abandoned or badly treated again. Please, visit our Happy Ending section. We also work to make our society aware and to educate it to respect and look after “our best friends” by doing several campaigns, giving courses, lectures at universities and schools, etc.

If you would like to help us carry on doing this work for abandoned animals we are currently in urgent need of donations to build a new shelter for our friends. At present we are renting a piece of land where our shelter is located but we are trying to build a final, safe and modern place for them, while we find a new home for them.

Dear friends:

APAP-ALCALA needs your help to make our dream come true. The installations of our animal welfare are located on a rented plot of land, which we must leave within one year, for which reason we will soon start the construction works for a new shelter. This new shelter will attempt to make for the deficiencies in the current shelter, improve the life of the animals there and guarantee a stable future for them, safe from any unexpected event. But this project is not simple and we need all possible collaboration. For this reason we want to share our dream with you, for you to help us with the huge financial effort entailed in the construction of our new shelter.
Therefore, we encourage you to make an effort and help us finance our dream, even if you think that you can do very little… for the animals it is very important.
- Donations may be general or specifically for the construction of a particular area. For this, we have calculated the unit price for each space of the various modules:

Module Price
Kennels € 1,500
Quarantine and post-operation recovery € 2,000
Walking area (price per area) € 2,500

Once the construction works have been completed each module will have a plaque with the names of all the people and companies that have made financial contributions to finance the new shelter:

o For the people or companies who contribute the full amount of one kennel, if they thus wish, there will be a personalised plaque with their names or the name of the animal chosen by them.

o All the people who make a contribution shall be registered, if they thus wish, in a common plaque which we will have in the new shelter. In the meantime we have this virtual appreciation plaque where you will see your names.

When you make the contribution it is important to write your name and surnames and to provide a telephone number where it says “Concepto”.

… And, finally, OUR ACCOUNT:
