Help by donating time
Help on site at the Tiny Shelter
The Associação Tiny Shelter is purely donation-based. This means not only dog food and veterinary costs are financed by donations, but also all helpers do this voluntarily in their free time. Including Isabel.
This requires a great deal of commitment. And so that the many dogs can be adequately cared for, a lot of helpers are needed.
Therefore, all (people and dogs) are always happy about every visitor who wants to help. In addition to manual skills for minor work (the shelter just moved to its current location in June 2023), everyday help in caring for the dogs is, of course, needed.
So if you should ever go on vacation to the Algarve – come and visit the Tiny Shelter for a few hours or a day and get a personal impression of the whole thing!
The daily work includes cleaning the facility, feeding, medical care and – of course – extensive cuddling and playing with the dogs.
Do you live in the Algarve and want to get involved? Then come by, get a personal picture of the Tiny Shelter and become a regular helper!

Volunteer
If you just can’t get enough of dogs, why not pitch your “tents” directly on site as part of the volunteer program. You can come with your Camper or literally with a tent. Or you visit our profile on Worldpackers and apply for a free place: Tiny Shelter on worldpackers.com
There is a studio with two beds available directly at the shelter. So you can be right in the middle of it, helping to feed the dogs and clean the enclosures and the entire facility. Medication must be given and above all the dogs long for freedom and need to get out of the enclosure and go for a walk in the beautiful and quiet surroundings. Besides, all these wonderful furry noses want so much to trust humans again, be it through cuddles, training or lots of attention.
