Give a Dog a Second Chance at Life
Every dog that arrives at our shelter carries a story of abandonment. Together we can change their fate. Find your lifelong companion and give them the home they deserve.
Our Impact
Numbers that tell stories of love and second chances
Changing a life changes yours too
Adopting a dog from a shelter is not just an act of kindness. It is one of the best decisions you can make.
Unconditional Love
An adopted dog knows you gave them a second chance. That gratitude becomes an unconditional love that no words can describe.
Rewarding Experience
Watching a scared dog transform into a confident and happy companion is one of the most enriching experiences a person can have.
Joy and Smiles
Studies show that having a dog improves mental health, reduces stress, and increases happiness. Every day with your dog is a better day.
Our Dogs
Each of them has a unique personality and so much love to give. Could the next home be yours?
Fighting animal abandonment since day one
CAPA Póvoa de Lanhoso is a volunteer association committed to animal welfare. We were born from the need to fight dog abandonment in our municipality. Since then, we have dedicated ourselves to rescuing, treating, and finding loving homes for every animal that comes to us.
Every dog that passes through our shelter receives veterinary care, food, affection, and the attention they deserve. Our team of volunteers works every day so that no animal is left behind.
