StreetLife needs volunteers - please lend a hand.....

With the increased need for the StreetLife's sterilisation services, our teams are in need of some assistance. We're wondering if any of our friends and/or supporters would be able to spare a few hours each week or a few €s each month.......

StreetBuddy.....

With a commitment of just €5

per month, our efforts to

sterilise stray and/or abused

animals can continue. Read more.....

StreetSaver.....

Never underestimate the power of a coin...... StreetLife would be thrilled to take your coins. Read more....

StreetEyes.....

This is an area where we really need just a few hours each week. For those able to communicate in Portuguese, we would be so grateful for your contribution. Our StreetEye volunteers assist with the identification of pet owners in the community who would benefit from StreetLife's assistance. We are so keen to continue our work to alleviate suffering and cruelty in our region. Read more on this site ..... Click here for the poster.

"Howl-o-Ween" Fun at Apetit's......

The very first event organised by our new StreetLife Social Butterfly team

at Restaurante Apetit’s, Moncarapacho, was a spook-tacular success.....

raising around €1,200 for our brand-new StreetLife Puppy Programme!

Soon to be announced!

Huge thanks must go to Bruno and his amazing team for transforming the restaurant into a

haunted hideaway and to all the staff who dressed up so fabulously. Around 80% of guests

came in full costume - witches, ghouls and ghosts and many other Halloween horrors! With

a fantastic food service and flowing wine, Tracy & Paul had everyone dancing all night to a

fang-tastic music mix - thank you both for bringing the party spirit!

A massive shout-out to our supporters, our StreetBuddies and our sponsors - without YOU, none of this could happen. ❤️ For 2025, we’re proud to be supported by many local businesses including:

Restaurants: Alagoas, Antónios, Apetit’s, Bamboo, Barbacoa, Tribulum & Yu
Hair and Beauty: Cara Hair & Beauty, Elle Day Spa, Philippe Stabile Hair & Beauty, The Beauty Lounge
Other: Apolónia, Golf Pro-Eddie Tittensor, Monterosa Olive Oil, Octant Praia Verde Hotel, Real Marina Hotel & Sesil Home

Thanks to their generosity and our supporters, StreetLife’s sterilisation total has now reached an incredible 1,550 dogs - and counting!

Here’s to more fun events in 2026 - keep your ears pricked for news of our Full Moon Summer Ball, Wine Tasting & Dinner at Octant Vila Monte, and our Christmas Dinner Dance!

Be wise........

......Sterilise!

Because every wagging tail deserves a chance at a better life!

A sad farewell to a wonderful friend - Terry Norman......

At StreetLife, our entire team was so saddened to hear about the passing of a legend.

Terry was on the StreetLife Management Committee.... from Day One, supporting our Animal Sterilisation Programme and helping us to become an Association.

He will be greatly missed by StreetLife and our local community.

Terry was a "larger than life" character; very family oriented and a well known dog lover.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to his wife, Myriam and their family.

Thank you Terry, for being part of

our team.....

RIP dear friend.

Donation - €2,000 - Glitz & Glamour Evening......

Sincere thanks to Roger and Julia who organised this event and donated the

proceeds to our StreetLife Animal Sterilisation Programme..... we are so grateful!

A quick look at how we spend your donations!.....

So far this year, we have received over 254 applications (up to the end of August).... during the same period in 2024, we had received

206 applications; an increase of 28%. StreetLife's mission, visibility and activities are clearly gaining ground!!!

Spending on sterilisations in 2025 so far have amounted to €37.395.65 giving an average of €4,675 per month.

Take a look at a more granular breakdown.... it's only with thanks to our friends and supporters that we've been able to achieve these amazing results! Every euro translates into less unwanted litters of puppies and = less suffering!

StreetLife and ARA become Partner Associations.....

The importance of associations working together is vital to enable us to help as many animals as possible and we are always stronger as a team!

StreetLife is therefore pleased to announce that we have become a Partner Association with

Animal Rescue Algarve - ARA. StreetLife can only help with the sterilisation of dogs so

we've been keen to find Partner Associations who can help with the sterilisation of cats.

We are often approached with such requests and it would be wonderful to be able to refer

anyone who asks StreetLife for help, towards another association near to the area they live.

Basically, we will work together and support each other when we can. Sterilisation is

important to both associations and is an area of animal welfare very dear to our hearts.🐱

Animal Rescue Algarve - ARA is happy for StreetLife to refer anyone in the Loulé area asking for help sterilising cats, to them using this email address..... viladosgatos@animalrescuealgarve.com 🐕

In return, if any locals approach ARA asking for help to sterilise their dogs they will refer them to StreetLife - email.... info@streetlife.pt or use our online application form...... https://www.streetlife.pt/pt-online-application 🐕

ARA will help to distribute StreetLife posters in their area to spread the word about our StreetLife Sterilisation Programme. 🐕 StreetLife will keep ARA updated about any BE WISE - STERILISE CAMPAIGNS; once again they'll let the locals know how we can help to sterilise their dogs.

StreetLife went to visit ARA on Friday (8 August) and had a meeting with Sid & João. We had a good chat about their association and StreetLife described their setup and processes. It was a very productive and interesting morning, exchanging ideas. One area we are both adamant about is the importance of sterilisation!

We were there for over two hours and also had a tour of their very impressive shelter, which includes 15 play parks for the dogs they are currently looking after. The maximum they will take is 80/90 dogs and they work to strict protocols. They also have a team of volunteers who have accommodation on site and a waiting list of eager helpers who want to help the dogs, but ARA are only interested in volunteers who have a passion for animals! 🤗

StreetLife thanks ARA for their hospitality and time and we look forward to working together when we can.
