An Insider’s View on Volunteering with Dogs in the Algarve 🐶🇵🇹

What is “A Place for Strays?”

A Place for Strays is more than just a dog shelter. It is a refuge for abandoned, injured, and distressed dogs, who are cared for here with a lot of love and dedication. Founded and run by my friend Elena, the shelter and its dedicated team are committed to protecting street animals in the Algarve, with the aim of finding loving homes for the dogs.

On my first visit, I fell head over heels in love with the dogs, the team, and the mission, and I realized that Place for Strays would be a part of my life forever. Especially, when I adopted my dog ​​Peach 1.5-years ago.

There is room for up to 30 dogs on a spacious property near Albufeira with nine enclosures. They not only receive medical care and food, but also emotional support to help them regain their trust in people. The aim is to give every dog ​​a second chance at a happy life.

And I can promise you one thing: the dogs give you soooo much back! There is no better feeling than looking into the grateful eyes of the little furry friends and seeing how they slowly build up trust. Apart from the great weather on the Algarve, you are guaranteed to feel warm inside at Place for Strays.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
