Altarriba Foundation was created in 1998 to develop projects for the protection of animals and the environment. Among other milestones, it managed to promote the modification of the Penal Code to make animal abuse a crime and to help change the law so that animals are not killed in shelters.
The Foundation's Bú Bup Parc shelter is a dog shelter in the middle of nature. In it, the animals receive a perfect environment to be calm, as soon as they enter they are dewormed and identified, and the staff starts the adaptation phases, first with the rest of the animals and then with emotional therapies with humans.
The dogs at the shelter live very well, they have a large area to run and play, an artificial lagoon that relieves the heat in summer, and special attention 365 days a year from the staff. For many of the dogs in the shelter, the option of being adopted is practically impossible, either because of their physical characteristics (dogs incorrectly classified as potentially dangerous), chronic illnesses or age; they will spend their entire lives in the shelter. That is why financial support is so important.
