Although Tina has faced a few challenges with the Algarve weather recently, having to move her canvases into the warmth of her home, she's poured her energy into a work she's so rightly, truly proud of..... her beautiful March Charity Painting. This abstract is a personal favourite, inspired by dog walks through the local shrublands, capturing those greens that only the cooler months reveal. Look for the hidden Iberian patterns and structures woven into the layers.
Tina has also produced a reel posted on her Instagram Account..... please click here if you'd like to see a litte more about the motivation behind this "Art for Dogs" artwork!

StreetLife's "StreetPuppy" Scheme.....
We're thrilled to let our friends and supporters know that we've sterilised our first puppy under the banner of our new StreetPuppy scheme! BROWNIE is also StreetLife's 1635th sterilisation!!
BROWNIE's owner, Maria who lives in Tavira, applied to StreetLife when he was 5 months old and at 6 months, he was "snipped"!
This programme is designed specifically for low-income families across the Sotavento/ Eastern Algarve, with the clear goal of reducing the number of unwanted litters, abandoned puppies and shelter over- crowding. StreetLife is committed to alleviating the suffering and cruelty associated with unwanted puppies being dumped in bins, in plastic bags as though they were no more than garbage!!

StreetLife's "StreetPuppy" Programme......
StreetLife is proud to annonce the launch of our new "StreetPuppy Programme" a vital
community initiative offering FREE sterilisation for puppies under a year old. Older
puppies are not eligible without a contribution from the owner. This programme is designed
specifically for low-income families across the Sotavento/Eastern Algarve, with the clear
goal of reducing the number of unwanted litters, abandoned puppies and shelter over-
crowding.
Working hand-in-hand with Partner Shelters.... StreetLife is extending this support
directly to local Partner Shelters. Shelters may now offer free sterilisation for any puppy
they successfully rehome, simply by submitting a quick application form at the time of
the adoption. This gives adopters reassurance, eliminates future costs and prevents
accidental litters.
StreetEyes... our front-line animal guardians... if you know of puppy owners in your
local community who may need help, or if you see puppies at risk of never being
sterilised, our StreetEyes can initiate the application and have them enrolled in the
programme.
Why this programme matters.... Each year, East Algarve shelters are overwhelmed because of unplanned litters, abandoned puppies and strays. Many puppies are born simply because families cannot afford sterilisation and/or just don't know where to go, for support.
Key Points...
-
sterilisation is FREE if the puppy is registered before turning ONE YEAR OLD;
-
StreetLife pays the full cost;
-
Puppies over a year old are not eligible.
We need your help to spread the word! We are asking local magazines, newsletters,
Vets, shelters and the wider community to publish this release.... please share the
poster and help vulnerable families to access the programme.
