Dad was a dog lover too, in their short time together I know how proud he was of Barkinside and the selfless efforts they put in to rescuing animals that society just throws away. I really want to raise some money for this wonderful cause which is why I am running this years London marathon in aid of Barkinside. Please give whatever you can. Those 26 miles are nothing compared to the tireless efforts of my wonderful aunt and her team of volunteers." SAMS MESSAGE Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Link kopieren This is why we are so grateful and excited to announce that one of Barkinsides friends and supporters is running this years London Marathon to raise the desperately needed funds which enable Barkinside to continue its key role in animal welfare in Spain.

Similarly to many of you, our basic running costs have increased sharply recently (for example our vets bills, which despite the kindness of our amazing vets, now run into the thousands of Euros every month. OUR MONTHLY VETS BILLS HAVE ALMOST DOUBLED BUT OUR INCOME HAS NOT We dont need to tell you that the economic outlook is bleak and shows no signs of slowing up. But giving in or stopping what we do is not an option for Barkinside. We cannot turn our back on the never ending flow of new cases who are desperate for our help, we also cannot suddenly withdraw the help and support for those who are permanent residents at the Sanctuary. Its not something we can consider. Our residents have experienced nothing except hellish conditions and abuse their entire lives. Their naturally trusting and loving natures have made them vulnerable to all kinds physical and mental violation. It is imperative that they have no doubt that never again will the trust they put in us be broken. Our commitment to them is for the whole of their lifetime, unfortunately maintaining this costs a lot of money. We cannot survive without all the help, donations and support we receive from our many friends. The more successful we are in our rescue mission, the higher our day-to-day costs are.

Sharing online via social media and emails, in real life by word of mouth, and mentioning it as we go about our everyday lives. Alternatively please consider sharing the post from the Barkinside Blog, which can be found here. Our mantra is our promise, because everything that Barkinside does is done by volunteers, right from physical support at the Sanctuary, being involved in caring for or rescuing desperately hurt animals, through to action taken online, 100% of every cent or penny raised goes to help those we have rescued.

The sanctuary will take on any dog, no matter age, health, or condition. They will be cared for and rehabilitated, found homes or can stay here in our care for the remainder of their lives. We help dogs in the kill stations of Spain to find freedom and safety. Über uns Barkinside rettet Hunde aus der Region und ganz Spanien. Ich helfe auch anderen Rettungskräften, die meine Hilfe benötigen, wenn ich darum gebeten werde und dazu in der Lage bin (bitte besuchen Sie die „ unsere Freunde " Seite für weitere Informationen). Das Tierheim nimmt jeden Hund auf, unabhängig von Alter, Gesundheitszustand oder Zustand. Sie werden betreut und rehabilitiert, finden ein Zuhause oder können für den Rest ihres Lebens hier in unserer Obhut bleiben. Wir helfen Hunden in den Tötungsstationen Spaniens, Freiheit und Sicherheit zu finden. Wir haben örtliche Pflegekräfte, die mir dabei helfen, den geretteten Tieren ein Zuhause und Stabilität zu geben. Wir retten Hunde, wo wir können, die als hilflos gelten, zu alt, krank, verletzt oder geistig vernarbt/verängstigt sind (besuchen Sie die „ unsere Rettungen "Seite für ihre Geschichten und unsere aktuellen Appelle). Wir sind keine Tierpension. Wir sind auch keinBeschützer (offizielle spanische Tierschutzorganisation), sodass wir streunende Hunde vor Ort nicht legal abholen können. Für diesen Service sollten Sie eine der örtlichen Hunderettungsorganisationen Alma 622708013 oder Hondon Valley Animal Rescue 676558432 anrufen. Diese Website fördert die Hunde in unserer Obhut und informiert regelmäßig über ihre Fortschritte und ihr Wohlergehen. Fotos und Informationen zu jedem Hund und zum täglichen Leben im Rettungszentrum und im Tierheim sowie zu der Arbeit, die wir hier leisten. Die gesamte Arbeit, die hier geleistet wird, wird von Menschen geleistet, die nichts als Liebe im Herzen für die Hunde und andere Rettungskräfte vor Ort haben.

Friends of Barkinside, other rescues and sanctuaries we help and support. Unsere Freunde ABOUT MASCOTAS de ZERO (Albatera) - Alicante "We are a company dedicated to the collection, shelter and custody of abandoned animals. We work with various town councils in the area of Murcia and Alicante, to whom we provide our service. We were formerly known as Agrupación Cereco, but we have recently changed our name to MASCOTAS DE ZERO, since over the years we have evolved and adapted to our values and social demand. Our most significant change arose in August 2019, when we relocated all our facilities to Albatera, becoming a single center. Our way of working is with ZERO SACRIFICE, which is why we have decided to include it in our new name. We believe in animal welfare and that is why our objectives are to improve to be able to meet the needs of animals. Our center has a reception area, where we care for pets once they arrive at our center, as well as an operating room where minor surgery and day-to-day tasks are treated. We publish all the animals we pick up, almost in real time, making it easier for owners to check that their pets are at our center and come pick them up. If after 21 days no one has claimed them, we will look for new families for them by putting them up for adoption. AVAILABILITY From 12:00 to 14:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Saturday. By appointment only. ( For any questions, or to make an appointment , please contact us by email, or by Telephone, within the hours listed above please use the buttons below, or use the Contact Us page of this website) Phone Mail

Barkinside rescues dogs from the local area and throughout Spain. We also assist other rescues that need our help, if requested and we are able. Paraíso del Perro PELUQUERIA CANINA Where dogs are pampered like true VIPs Während meiner (Jacqueline Roberts) 34 Jahre in dieser Funktion, von denen ich 9 in Spanien verbracht habe, bin ich stolz darauf, sagen zu können, dass ich das Privileg und die Ehre hatte, an der Rettung und dem Leben von über 600 Hunden beteiligt zu sein! Ohne Hilfe hätte ich das nicht geschafft! Bei Barkinside haben wir das große Glück, eine fantastische Gruppe von Unterstützern und Freiwilligen hinter uns zu haben, die immer bereit sind, sofort zu reagieren, um sicherzustellen, dass die Rettungsaktionen fortgesetzt und erfolgreich sind. Ihre unendliche Freundlichkeit bietet uns eine breite Palette an physischer, emotionaler und finanzieller Unterstützung, ohne die wir Schwierigkeiten hätten, weiterzumachen, was wir tun. Für all das sind wir und die Tiere in unserer Obhut unsagbar dankbar. Ein Teil unseres fantastischen Unterstützungsnetzwerks ist Paraíso del Perro, ein freiwilliger Hundepflegedienst, der von unserer Freundin, der fantastischen Machteld De Dier, betrieben wird. Machteld beschreibt sich selbst als professionelle und leidenschaftliche Hundepflegerin und Freiwillige mit einer tiefen Liebe für unsere vierbeinigen Begleiter. Wir kennen und lieben sie als jemanden, der den Hunden in unserer Obhut freiwillig seine wunderbare Fellpflege anbietet, was offensichtlich von jedem einzelnen von ihnen in vollen Zügen genossen wird. Ihr professioneller und zutiefst mitfühlender Ansatz gibt den Tieren die Möglichkeit, einer Person zu vertrauen, oft zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit. Auf magische Weise baut ihr warmherziger und liebevoller Ansatz genug Vertrauen auf, damit die Hunde die erste Berührung zulassen und die Fürsorge und Heilung spüren, die sie anbietet. Paraíso del Perro kann ihnen beweisen, dass ihr zuvor missbräuchlicher und schmerzhafter Körperkontakt mit Menschen vorbei ist. Ihre Berührung gibt ihnen Hoffnung. Von diesem winzigen Funken an verwandeln sie sich schnell in die liebevollen, vertrauensvollen Wesen, die sie sein sollten. Es gibt keinen einzigen Hund, dessen Vertrauen Machteld nicht gewinnen konnte. Dies ermöglicht es Paraíso del Perro, ihnen eine dringend benötigte Wäsche und Bürste zu geben, und in vielen Fällen übernimmt die Fellpflege eine ernstere Rolle als medizinische Notwendigkeit und bietet Linderung von gesundheitlichen, schmerz-, alters- und behinderungsbedingten Problemen. About Paraíso del Perro A passionate dog groomer and volunteer by Machteld De Dier Welcome to my world of wagging tails and fluffy coats! Who Am I? I'm a professional dog groomer with a deep love for our four-legged companions. My area of operation lies in the picturesque villages of Hondón de las Nieves, Hondón de los Frailes and La Romana, nestled in the heart of Spain. My Mission: My mission is simple, to make every dog feel pampered, loved, and ready to conquer the world with a fresh haircut! What I Do: Rescue Dogs: I dedicate my skills to grooming rescue dogs who are still waiting for their forever homes within various rescue organisations. Foster Dogs: Those adorable pups (or larger) in foster care also get the royal treatment too! I ensure they look their best before joining their new families. Private Dog Owners: Whether it's a fluffy Pomeranian or a playful Labrador, I'm here to transform their fur into a masterpiece. Fees? Nah! I don't believe in charging fees. Instead, I encourage everyone to contribute by dropping a donation into the boxes placed in my cosy salon. Join Me! Let's celebrate the joy of grooming, one wagging tail of a time .

Barkinside rescues dogs from the local area and throughout Spain. We also assist other rescues that need our help, if requested and we are able. Dog collars impregnated with deltamethrin are used to control the infection of reservoir dogs. Leishmaniosis cannot be transmitted from dog to humans Barkinside advises that all dogs in and from Spain should have a blood test annually. LEISHMANIASIS Seroprevalence : "...the frequency of individuals in a population who have a particular element and especially antibodies to an infectious agent in their blood serum..." If caught early and not affecting the main organs, Leishmaniosis can be treated and controlled very effectively and the dog can lead a long and happy life. Dogs are the main host and main reservoir of Leishmania infantum, a parasite that causes death in symptomatic dogs (canine leishmaniasis), when not treated. This parasite is transmitted through the bite of a sandfly (a small insect related to mosquitoes and flies) in tropical and subtropical countries, but direct transmission between dogs, and from pregnant dogs to their puppies, exists. A dog’s immune response can contain the infection, preventing active disease, for months-to-years; it can take up to 7 years from the point of infection before signs of disease develop. Canine Symptoms commonly include: skin problems (especially around the head and pressure points), enlarged lymph nodes enlarged spleen, eye problems, weight loss, lethargy, reduced appetite, nose bleeds, and vomiting and diarrhoea. There are many common blood test abnormalities seen in Leishmania infection – although none of these are specific for the infection. Canine leishmaniasis is expanding to the Northern Hemisphere, where it was barely known.This is due to climate change and the importation of dogs. Several vaccines have been developed in the last decade, but their efficacy is limited and not guaranteed to be 100% effective, this includes the innoculation available in Spain. Veterinary researchers are still waiting for the ideal drug that can eliminate the parasite from target organs and limit transmission. How it spreads: When female sandflies bite and feed on blood of an infected host, they can acquire the Leishmania parasites. These parasites can then be transmitted to another host by the same sandfly species during a subsequent blood meal. Additionally, Leishmania can be passed from a mother to her child, from a female dog to her puppy, or through the sharing of syringes. In southern European countries, Canine leishmaniasis, (now referred to as "CanL"), seroprevalence reaches high levels. Prevelance in Spain: CanL is widespread in Spain. It can be considered endemic in almost the entire territory. In the southeast section of the country, the seroprevalence was calculated at 23.7%. Hot spots have been found in the Axarquia region (Malaga). Figures are lower in central Spain (1–5%) and in the North, whereas in the Pyrenees and northeastern areas, 19.5% prevalence was found, mainly among the hunting dog population. Low prevalence numbers (0–2.5%) were found in the Canary Islands, although imported cases were not ruled out. This disease is mostly unknown by veterinarians outside the endemic areas. In Humans the parasite manifests in various forms, causing visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in populations in the Mediterranean Basin, North Africa, South America, and West Asia. Cutaneous leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania tropica), causes skin sores which are often self-healing within a few months, but which may leave ugly scars; it occurs worldwide, including the Mediterranean coast. Visceral leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania infantum), causes systemic disease, presenting with fever, malaise, weight loss and anaemia, swelling of the spleen, liver and lymph nodes; most of the cases reported worldwide occur in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan. Risk for people A noteworthy number of leishmaniasis cases in the European Union (EU) come from outside Europe, often due to travel to tropical countries where leishmaniasis is more prevalent. Vaccination and treatment: Currently, there is no available vaccination for this parasite. However, various treatments exist, although over time, the parasite has developed resistance to some of these medications. Protective measures include: using methods like mosquito nets treated with insect repellent, applying insect repellent directly to your skin, managing the presence of insects around your home.

FAQ's about those dogs in our care and regular updates on their progress and welfare. We also post photos and information on each dog and the daily life of the Rescue Centre and Sanctuary and the work we do here. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQ General What is Barkinside? Barkinside rescues dogs from the local area and throughout Spain. I also assist other rescues that need my help if requested and am able (please visit the "our friends" page for more info). The sanctuary will take on any dog, no matter age, health, or condition. They will be cared for and rehabilitated, found homes or can stay here in our care for the remainder of their lives. We help dogs in the kill stations of Spain to find freedom and safety. We have local fosters who assist me in giving the rescues homes and stability. We save dogs where we can who are deemed beyond help, to old, to sick, to injured, to mentally scarred/scared (visit the "our dogs" page for their stories, and our current appeals). We are not a boarding kennels. We are also not a protectora (official Spanish animal welfare organisation) so we cannot legally pick up local stray dogs. For this service you should phone one of the local dog rescue charities Alma (click here) or Hondon Valley Animal Rescue (click here). This website promotes those dogs in our care and gives regular updates on their progress and welfare. Photos and information on each dog and the daily life of the Rescue centre and sanctuary and the work we do here. All of the work that goes on here is done by those with nothing but love in their hearts for the dogs and other rescues in residence. Barkinside has a great support system within the dog rescue and local community without whom we could not carry on. How can I contact Barkinside?

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Due to our already huge workload, the additional preparation and work required to support our new weekly fundraising Car Boot Fairs has meant we've had to rearrange visiting times at Barkinside. These take place on the last Sunday of each month at El Canton New School Hall. (For location, booking and info, click here to open WhatsApp, or message us on 697122883). The new visiting times are Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm. Strictly by appointment. You are welcome to come and visit us, I love nothing more than visitors, (to play, walk or just sit with the dogs, there are areas set aside just for this) or bring donations, items for the Boot fair or hopefully adopt/sponsor a dog. But for the sanctuary to continue running safely and effectively, we need your co-operation, so we would very much appreciate if everyone could please respect the new arrangements above. More detailed information about our new arrangements is available here. Many thanks. How do I make a donation? Barkinside is supported by donations and gifts from individuals, we cannot survive without all the help we receive from our many friends and supporters.

If you would like to sponsor a dog or donate to those in our care, this would be very gratefully received by us and all the animals we help. 100% of all money received is used to help those we have rescued, none of it is spent on staff or administration because we all work on a voluntary basis. Scan the QR code, or click here to donate via our FetchPay account. Many thanks What food and cleaning materials can I donate? Many of you have asked me what to buy if you want to make a physical donation rather than cash. Our Food and Cleaning Materials page can be found here. We are so lucky through the kindness of supporters to be offered food and cleaning materials. We have over the last 10 years tried everything, (all our products come from Mercadona (in Spain)), the regular foods listed below offer the dogs a good nutritionally balanced diet and rarely give any of them an upset tummy and they love it. We don't like to mix (with other brands or products, as the dogs don't like it and we get dicky dogs). The cleaning materials (towards the bottom of this section), do a great job, don't irritate the skin and smell lovely. FOOD The orange food for the bigglies (Compy con Pollo Ternera Frutas Verduras /Compy with Chicken, Beef, Fruits and Vegetables. Complete food for adult dogs of medium and large breeds.) approx. €5/4kg or €17,50/18kg Link to Mercadona online shop here The yellow and purple for the littlies (A good balance and no upset tummies.
