This beautiful boy, FRODE, slipped out of the door of his home in Caliço Caravan Park in the area of Vila Nova de Cacela at around 22h00 on Tuesday, 8 September.
He has a brown leather collar, but NO harness.
If anyone spots him, please immediately contact any of the numbers on the poster! Please don't approach him.... he'll certainly be very scared and may run away!
Your assistance would really be appreciated!

Maisy
This very sweet girl with lovely eyes, is still learning that the world can be a wonderful place. Maisy is 2 years old and while she can be a little shy at first, there is a playful, gentle friend waiting underneath that initial uncertainty. She enjoys playing, particularly with other female dogs and she’s making great progress as she learns to trust and feel more confident.
Maisy is looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take a little time. Someone who will give her the love, patience and attention she needs to come out of her shell and discover just how lovely life can be. She may need a quieter environment where she can settle at her own pace but once Maisy feels safe, you get to see more and more of her beautiful personality.
We know there is a special home out there for this lovely girl, one willing to give her the time she deserves and in return, watch her confidence blossom.
Could Maisy be the girl you've been waiting for? 🐾. If you’d like to know more about Maisy, please get in touch with Cacela Dog Haven through our contact form on this website.
Helping cats in our community....
At Cacela Dog Haven, we often try to help support urgent animal welfare cases brought to our attention within the local community.
Recently, this injured colony cat was brought to Faro for emergency care and with the help of VRSA Cat Rescue, we were able to contribute towards some of the veterinary costs to ensure that this sweet little cat received the care needed.
Support from our followers and donors allows us to continue helping with special cases like these, whenever the need arises and we'd like to express our sincere appreciation to those friends and supporters who make this possible!
Our doggies waiting to be adopted....
.....every dog deserves a loving home!
We'd like to introduce you to the dogs that ready for their "furever" homes...... they're all chipped, fully vaccinated, sterilised and ready for adoption. Where pups are not old enough for sterilisation, CDH will follow up with the family at the appropriate age to ensure that sterilisation has been organised. Whilst waiting for their new family, our dogs are walked regularly by a really great team.... we're fortunate to be in an area where it's safe (....and pretty lovely) to exercise the dogs. We take the time to introduce them to basic commands and of course, their meals and their health are carefully monitored. Click here if you'd like more details!
Volunteering, Fostering and Dog Walking....
From time to time, CDH is in need of supporters who are able to foster a dog, usually for a week or two but we do have semi-permanent fosters too.... it all depends on your preference. Whilst some families may not be able to offer a full time home to any of our rescues, it may transpire that they'd enjoy a temporary house guest. CDH will cover the related costs, such as food, veterinary services, etc. If you'd like to become a foster family, please click here to send an email to Sharron, who deals personally with those wonderful folk who help us so much, in this area.
CDH Volunteering.... As is the case with volunteering, it often happens that people are away or leave the area
So.... we are always looking for volunteers to work at the haven. The chores are not back-breaking and volunteers are encouraged to spend time socialising our rescues which is always fun for those who love animals.... our dogs are quite comfortable accompanying our volunteers to a local café for a cup of coffee or for a run on the beach! At the haven, the kettle is always ready for a drink and the biscuits are great!
Please click here to complete and submit an online application form specifically for working at the haven.
CDH Dogwalkers.... We are so fortunate to have a really great team of dogwalkers..... dogs are usually walked in the morning on Mondays and Fridays, depending on the weather. From a socialisation, mental health and physical strength point of view, the value added to the wellbeing of our residents is so gratifying. Additionally, thanks to the introduction of some basic commands and obedience training, our dogs are well prepared when an opportunity to live with a 5* family arises.

PAWS Charity Shop Volunteers.... In Cabanas de Tavira, the haven has a great charity shop.... Our volunteers are committed, dedicated, flexible and friendly.... we're really grateful for their help and support. Comprehensive training is provided and the two daily shifts are 3-hours each (10.AM and 1.PM) and there are usually four volunteers per shift. (Tues, Wed, Fri AM+PM, Thurs AM, Sat AM). It's a great opportunity to make new friends and have a good laugh.... whilst picking up a bargain or two, helping to support our haven!
