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. Over ons Barkinside redt honden uit de omgeving en in heel Spanje. Ik assisteer ook andere reddingsacties die mijn hulp nodig hebben indien gevraagd en in staat ben (bezoek de " onze vrienden " pagina voor meer info). Het opvangcentrum kan elke hond aan, ongeacht leeftijd, gezondheid of conditie. Ze worden verzorgd en gerehabiliteerd, krijgen een thuis of kunnen de rest van hun leven bij ons blijven. Wij helpen honden in de dodingstations van Spanje om vrijheid en veiligheid te vinden. We hebben lokale pleegouders die me helpen bij het geven van huizen en stabiliteit aan de reddingsacties. We redden honden waar we kunnen die niet meer te helpen zijn, te oud, te ziek, te gewond, tot mentaal getekend/bang te zijn (bezoek de " onze reddingen " pagina voor hun verhalen en onze huidige oproepen). Wij zijn geen pensionkennel. We zijn ook geenprotectora (officiële Spaanse dierenwelzijnsorganisatie) dus we kunnen lokale zwerfhonden niet legaal oppikken. Voor deze service moet u een van de lokale hondenreddingsorganisaties Alma 622708013 of Hondon Valley Animal Rescue 676558432 bellen. Deze website promoot de honden die onder onze hoede zijn en geeft regelmatig updates over hun vorderingen en welzijn. Foto's en informatie over elke hond en het dagelijkse leven van het opvangcentrum en opvangcentrum en het werk dat we hier doen. Al het werk dat hier gebeurt, wordt gedaan door mensen met niets dan liefde in hun hart voor de honden en andere reddingsacties in residentie. Barkinside heeft een geweldig ondersteuningssysteem binnen de hondenredding en de lokale gemeenschap zonder wie we niet verder zouden kunnen. 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. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Link kopiëren share buttons share buttons share buttons PLEASE NOTE 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. They are Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm. Strictly by appointment only. On Saturday's we are now busy preparing for the boot fairs, and making some time for ourselves on Mondays gives us breathing space and time to unload the van, vets etc. Our working day averages 14 to 16 hours, with 36 dogs, horses, cats etc, so please be patient with us. More information about the Boot Fairs can be found on our Events page. They are on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month at Tipsy Terrace in Hondon de las Frailes , and on the 2nd and last Sunday of each month at El Canton.

Where Dogs with a Story Find Their Forever Home High on a mountain between La Romana and Novelda, where on a clear night you can see the lights of Alicante sparkling in the distance, lies a very special place. This is where Jacqueline Roberts and her partner Roy run 'Barkinside Sanctuary '. It is not your average shelter, but a loving haven for the region's most vulnerable dogs. We visited Jacqueline to talk about passion, sacrifice, and the unconditional love for dogs. Jacqueline is a well-known face in the world of canine rescue. She has lived in Spain for 25 years. "Even as a child, I wanted to do something meaningful for dogs," she says with a smile. In England, she was heavily involved in fostering, but when her health declined, doctors advised her to move to the Spanish climate. After a period in La Manga and a brief return to England, love for Roy brought her back to Spain for good. "I always said I'd never come back, but look at us now: out here in the campo, in total peace, surrounded by our animals." The birth of a mission It all started 11 years ago. Although Jacqueline was working as a secretary for a charity at the time, she didn't quite find her niche there. However, the problem of abandoned dogs in the region was too large to ignore. When 24 dogs suddenly had nowhere to go and no foster homes available, Jacqueline and Roy made a bold decision: they built their own kennels and took them all in. Over the years, Barkinside evolved into a professional, independent organization. "At one point, we had an average of 60 dogs. When I turned 65, I thought: right, I'm retiring. We went back down to eight dogs, but I only lasted a week. I missed the work far too much." Jacqueline laughs when talking about the current number of residents: "I thought we had 20, but Roy says it's 43. Apparently, I can't count!" A sanctuary for the 'specials' Today, Barkinside has become a true sanctuary. This means the focus is on dogs with a 'backpack'** (special needs) . Think of blind dogs, disabled dogs, or those who can only get around with the help of a wheels. Whether it's dogs whose owners have passed away or those who were simply dumped, at Jacqueline's, they are given a life of dignity. The dedication is immense. Jacqueline lives in a caravan on the property, and alongside the dogs, the sanctuary is now also home to horses, donkeys, and cats. "It's hard work, but it's a wonderful life. Fortunately, we don't do it alone. With the help of five regular volunteers and a fantastic dog groomer who treats our dogs for free, we are able to keep this work going." Community support To cover the high costs of care and medication, Barkinside organizes numerous activities. Twice a month, they hold popular boot fairs (every second Sunday at Tipsy Terrace and the last Sunday in El Canton ). The lunches at Tipsy Terrace are also very well attended. The community is incredibly supportive, but extra help remains essential. "People donate food, blankets, and medication. Sometimes we even receive building materials like wood and nails, which we use to repair or improve the enclosures," Jacqueline says. She has a specific request for greeting cards: "Whether it's for birthdays or get-well wishes, we can really use them. You can drop them off at Tipsy Terrace or during our markets." Every donation, in whatever form, is incredibly welcome and makes a direct difference. A look at the future In the past 11 years, Barkinside has taken in 738 dogs, 650 of which have been rehomed. From dogs now living a life of luxury in Thailand to those adopted locally, the contact with new owners is never lost. Jacqueline notices that awareness in Spain is slowly growing. Through years of visiting schools and organizing events, she sees the attitude toward animal suffering changing. For Jacqueline and Roy, the goal remains simple: giving every dog a chance. "The dogs are our lives. There is joy when things go well, and sadness when we have to say goodbye to an old friend. I wouldn't want it any other way."

ROSIE & REGGIE, LENA & FOXY Recovering from a life of horror by Barkinside "Now their journey to a new life begins" Towards the end of November we were told about several dogs who were in a desperate situation and needed our help urgently. Barkinside responded immediately. After a long and difficult struggle we had four new babies taking sanctuary with us. This is their story, and a gentle appeal for help with our escalating costs. The 12th of December 2024 marks a milestone in the amazing story of the recovery of the four new dogs that came to join Barkinside two weeks ago. It was an especially big day for the amazing Little Foxy and our beautiful old girl Lena who were both rescued together. Today they they were treated to a professional grooming session courtesy of our very kind friends at Parìso del Perro .

Today, at around 1pm (16th of March 2024) everyone's hero, the spectacular being that we all came to know and love as "Noble" came up against something so big that no one, not even he or his Mum, the amazing powerhouse behind this organisation, Jacqueline, could beat. Noble In Loving Memory 2019-2024 Today, at around 1pm (16th of March 2024) everyone's hero, the spectacular being that we all came to know and love as "Noble" came up against something so big that no one, not even he or his Mum, the amazing powerhouse behind this organisation, Jacqueline, could beat. This was the message that greeted us all online today, from his grief stricken friend, mum and rescuer at Barkinside. "I don't know where to start. How do I tell you all. How do I even begin.. This morning, our hero, our lion, our magnificent Noble left us. He went into acute kidney failure and there was nothing I could do this time to save him. The only reason I know I am alive is because I am still breathing. I decided to let him go with Grace, with so so much love, with Peace. I held him, told him how much I loved him, how you all loved him, how we would be together again. That he can run with Oscar, Louis , Nina, Munchkin, Beti, Lola, Spartan and all the most beautiful souls, no longer in this realm. Yes, I am sobbing , my heart is broken. But I had the absolute joy of having this beautiful boy in my life, even for far to shorter time. I held him. And he knew only love. Run free my Angel, Sleep well sweet Prince, till we meet again." 1/1 NB: Please note. The pictures below are of Noble when he was first rescued by Barkinside. His whole life he had been the innocent victim of abuse, these pictures reflect that. This is at the request of Jacqueline who rescued him, she wants to include all aspects of his life, saying that, "It's the complete story of an incredible dog." 1/1
