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.

Tina McEvoy's "Art for Dog" Painting - July......
This time, Tina has produced a painting (Paper Flowers II) that she's framed.
Whilst visiting a DIY store, Tina was inspired by a roll of wallpaper......
something about it; the colour the texture, made her stop and this beautiful
piece of art was the result.
Tina will use the donation from the sale of this painting for her "Art for Dogs"
initiative and the funds will go to either StreetLife to support our Animal
Sterilisation Programme, or to Benafim to assist them with ongoing
shelter running costs. The buyer gets to choose!
Please click here to read the story about this beautiful painting. If you'd like more information, please contact Tina by email on tinamcevoy16@gmail.com and please do visit her website to see the amazing art that she's produced over the last years.

A story about why we do, what we do......
It happens from time to time, that StreetLife extends the helping hand in cases
where sterilisation is not the only solution to the problems we encounter. We're
deeply concerned about the future rehoming of the animal.... here we have just
such a case and we felt that it was worth reporting to our friends and supporters.
Fara and Francelina are both female and around 5 years old. They were abandoned
outside Makro; fortunately, the staff at the supermarket were feeding them.
StreetEye Roseane immediately responded to a call from a lady reporting this
situation and went to investigate. Thse two girls were quite dishevelled and clearly
needed attention, so she took them both home.
Fara had a rather large tumour and Francelina's coat was badly matted.....
Roseane took action!! They were both groomed and had a "doggie makeover"....
we're sure you'll appreciate the "before and after"..... what emerged were two
pretty, sweet girls! Then they were both sterilised by StreetLife and at the same
time, we ensured that Fara's tumour was taken care of.
They're both doing so well now.... safely in the care of Roseane! The "cherry on
the top"?? Our great StreetEye Roseane has found homes for them both.
Wagging tails all around.... even the humans!! A "from rags to riches" story and a great team effort. Thank you!

Welcome to Debbie, our Media Officer......
Debbie lives in the Moncarapacho area and is one of our StreetBuddies! She has supported StreetLife
for a long time and at many of our events, Debbie has been there with camera at the ready and has
taken some fantastic photographs which we've used on many of our social media postings and for
Newspaper articles. Debbie is a very talented lady!
We approached Debbie to see if she would be interested in becoming our StreetLife Media Officer
looking after the editorials associated with newspaper articles and media postings about our Fundraising
events, also getting involved in any other media projects she feels may be of interest to our supporters.
We are open to ideas!!!
StreetLife is growing daily which is why our dedicated volunteers and supporters are so important to us. They all help to spread the word about our Animal Sterilisation Programme. One person cannot do it on their own!
Welcome on board Debbie – it's great news that you are officially part of our StreetLife Team / Family.

Welcome to our new StreetEyes......
What is a StreetEye? These amazing volunteers form a major part of our StreetLife Team! They assist in identifying pet owners needing StreetLife's help to sterilise their dogs, often visiting applicants on our behalf to assess their individual situations. Our unsung heros!
Therefore, it's with great pleasure that we'd like to introduce you to Natalie and Brenda.... our two new StreetEyes.
Natalie, who I am sure many of you already know is in the Fuseta area and has been
a StreetBuddy for a number of years.... she's also volunteered at a few animal
shelters on the eastern Algarve and is deeply committed to alleviating the suffering
associated with unwanted dogs and litters of puppies! Thank you Natalie.
If anyone would like to know more about becoming a StreetEye click here for more information, or send us an email: info@streetlife.pt or send us a message via Facebook.
Brenda lives in the Santa Catarina area and has supported StreetLife and many other animal welfare associations for many years… she is an absolute animal person. Already, Brenda regularly submits application forms on behalf of families who need help! So, at our last StreetBuddy Coffee Morning Brenda spoke to us about the possibility of becoming a StreetEye and said she’d like to “give it a go”. Good news for StreetLife.... a warm welcome to Brenda!

Wow!! 1400 Sterilisations.....
WHAT A TEAM! We could not have achieved this without YOU.... OUR StreetLife supporters, our StreetEyes, our StreetBuddies, our Partner Shelters and our Partner Vets! You have all played a huge part in making such a difference to our local lcommunity and our doggies.
We'd like you to meet Nini, No 1400.... "A pretty little girl who is 8 months old and lives in the Loulé area with her owner, Maria.
Maria contacted StreetEye Dineke who visited the family in April. Shortly thereafter, Nini went on heat and of course, every male dog in the area took an "interest". Needless to say, little Nini fell pregnant and we had to get her to the Vet as soon as possible.
Now, she'll be puppy-free and can live happily, knowing that the suffering associated with unwanted litters of puppies will not be in her future!"

More on the Launch of our New Venture... StreetLife & DPDSAA Working Together.....
We have exciting news to share with you.
StreetLife and DPDSAA have a common view about the importance of sterilisation and we have now joined forces to tackle the never-ending problem of unwanted puppies and dogs in the East Algarve (Sotavento) area.
StreetLife and DPDSAA are working together to spread the word. We are a team supporting families on low incomes and helping our StreetLife Partner Shelters to sterilise the dogs they rescue and go into their care.
Over a three-year timescale, DPDSAA will be helping to fund the sterilisations of female dogs in the East Algarve area with a generous grant of 3,600€ per month - a total of 129,600€.
StreetLife will continue with the operational activity involved with our Animal Sterilisation Programme (male & female dogs). The primary responsibility associated with all applications and day to day activities is with StreetLife. All male dogs will be covered by StreetLife and any female dogs not covered by the Joint Venture will be financed by StreetLife and our other supporters.
To launch our new Joint Venture: during June there will be a "Be Wise - Sterilise Campaign".... FREE sterilisations will be available to help families on low incomes to sterilise their dogs - subject to the approval of StreetLife. Support to our Partner Shelters will continue as usual.
Who are DPDSAA (Dispencario Portugese De Saude As Animais)? They are a UK based animal charity focused on Portugal. The charity/trust was originally set up by their benefactor, Nina Pearson. DPDSAA have previously provided funding for several animal welfare organisations in Portugal and have so far awarded grants in the region of £401,000. They are very sterilisation-focused to help reduce the suffering of animals in Portugal. Please visit their website at dpdsaa.org.uk.
I am sure you will agree that this is an amazing opportunity for StreetLife and our Animal Sterilisation Programme. We are proud to be working with DPDSAA. Every single supporter, sponsor, StreetEye and StreetBuddy is helping to improve the lives of so many dogs and jointly, we are making a difference!
Thank you from the StreetLife Team.

A New Venture... StreetLife and DPDSAA.....
A BIG thank you to DPDSAA for their very generous donation of 8,000€ to help StreetLife with our Animal Sterilisation Programme. Our last Be Wise - Sterilisation campaign depleted our funds tremendously (over 26,000€) and we had to put the brakes on for a while to replenish the pot. Our reputation and message are growing rapidly and we are receiving new applications for help with sterilisations on a daily basis.
DPDSAA has come to our rescue with this incredible donation so that we can continue “business as usual”. StreetLife and DPDSAA have also been talking about ways in which we can work together in the future to spread the word about the importance of sterilisation in helping to reduce the number of unwanted puppies and dogs in the East Algarve / Sotavento area.
We will post more information soon about this exciting new venture, but in the meantime, their initial help really is so very appreciated.

A Lovely Surprise....
Sincere thanks to Jill who surprised us with a €500 donation! It's a much appreciated contribution to the StreetLife pot.... without your kind generosity we would not be able to help stop the cruelty and suffering associated with unsterilised dogs!
