StreetLife "Be Wise... Sterilise!" 2024 Campaign..... UPDATE!
We're thrilled to advise that the next phase of our "Be Wise.... Sterilise!" campaign has been a great success - we'd like thank our Partner Vets, our Partner Shelters and of course, our StreetLife friends and supporters... the image below provides figures:

In expanding our sterilisation programme across the Eastern Algarve (please click here for a map), StreetLife invited private shelters in the area to become a Partner Shelter and work with StreetLife on our Be Wise.... Sterilise! campaign.
When considering a mutually beneficial relationship, the value of a collaborative partnership is a win-win and we were thrilled that a few private shelters agreed to work with us. Our StreetLife Partner Shelters were encouraged to spread the word about our Sterilisation Programme to families on low incomes living in the areas surrounding their shelters, displaying and circulating our Be Wise.... Sterilise! posters.
StreetLife provided financial support with shelter related sterilisations, helping them with the strays and abandoned dogs they look after until they are hopefully rehomed. Our local shelters are overloaded with stray and abandoned dogs. The number of puppies they have rescued, many newborns that have been dumped in bins, is unbelievable. That’s why sterilisation is so important… but without shelters what would happen to these dogs? This was one of the many reasons working together made sense... the attempt to stop the problem of unwanted puppies. The number of stray animals in Portugal has increased enormously over just the past two years, certainly exacerbated by the Covid epidemic! Many families found it almost impossible to feed themselves, let alone their pets so there have been numerous pets abandoned or surrendered. Prior to the havoc of Covid, local authority kennels were already overflowing with no solution in sight so it's easy to appreciate the sheer numerical enormity of the current problem. In March 2021, we put together some information on the subject “Stray Animals in Portugal” ....(click here to see the article) and in October 2023, we circulated an update published in the The Portugal Resident.
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 allevia suffering and cruelty in our region. Read more on this site ..... Click here for the poster.

ABBA Dine & Party Night to Celebrate StreetLife's 7th Birthday.....
What a great evening! With 82 guests celebrating StreetLife’s 7th Anniversary, going by the amount of dancing at the end of the evening, it was clear that ABBA music is still popular with our supporters! With the majority of funds coming from the event, we raised additional funds from many of those who were not able to enjoy the evening with us, but wanted to celebrate StreetLife's birthday….. we managed to raise a whopping €1715!
So many wonderful friends and supporters to thank and so many
photos as a tribute to a wonderful event.... an event that will enable
the StreetLife Sterilisation Programme to continue in its efforts to
alleviate the unavoidable suffering associated with unwanted litters
of puppies. Click here to read more and to see some wonderful
photos!

Happy 7th Birthday to StreetLife.....
On this day, SEVEN years ago at 11:15 our president Graeme, launched the StreetLife Animal Sterilisation Programme by zipping across the Guadiana River (click here to see the article in the Portugal Resident). As an organisation dedicated to raising funds for the sterilisation of dogs we certainly have much to celebrate.....
-
the sterilisation of nearly 1200 local dogs;
-
awareness... applications are being received daily;
-
our area of operation has been extended to fully cover Sotavento;
-
we support SIX animal shelters... known as our Partner Shelters; and
-
we enjoy an association with ELEVEN Partner Vets!
Thank You to our supporters..... our StreetLife Animal Sterilisation Programme would not be possible without you! Every supporter is part of our StreetLife family and helps to make a difference!
To celebrate, we are asking as many of our friends and supporters as possible if they could donate €7.00 to represent €1.00 for each year since our launch. Please click here to go to our DONATE page.... it's quite a simple process to donate to StreetLife and we're so grateful for your generosity.
