Sterilisation Awareness Month - February

Help solve the problem, Be wise …. Sterilise!

​

You can help us reduce the number of unwanted puppies and strays in the East Algarve.  We need you to help StreetLife spread the word.  Social media is very good at communicating to those who have mobiles, laptops and Wi-Fi; but what about those who live in the countryside who do not have access to all this technology.  That’s where we need your help.  

Keep sharing information about StreetLife because every single one of our supporters must have family, friends and neighbours who need help with their pets who don’t know there is help available.  We need our supporters to put posters up by their bins, in their supermarkets, restaurants anywhere there is space for a poster pin it!  Talk to anyone with a pet who hasn’t had it sterilised.  gain!  

Please click on the links below to access posters that you can use for distribution purposes.... in this month of promoting sterilisation, it would be great to see these posters everywhere on the Eastern Algarve!

StreetLife "Time to Smile" Competition

1 to 28 February..........

​

This is a little reminder that our "Time to Smile" Competition closes on 28 February.

​

It doesn't matter where you live, or where you are, we all like a SMILE!  I'm sure many of your have lovely dogs who smile from ear to ear or on occasions, give you a goofy look.  Why not share that look or smile with others so they can SMILE too?

​

Let's brighten up our days... let's have some fun.  We already have entrants from all over the Algarve, some now coming in from supporters in other parts of Portugal... and even in other countries. 

​

Animal shelters can enter their dogs for free.  How about all the lovely dogs StreetLife has sterilised?  I'm sure they have something to smile about!

ZERO Strays in Holland.....

Continuing with our "Sterilisation Awareness" theme for February, we've looked at success stories in other countries.  This week, we'd like you to read about Holland's amazing achievement in reducing strays in that country.  With a little motivation, money and compassion, they've overcome the heartbreaking sight of litters of puppies being dumped in garbage cans.  The research is done...... the strategy works. Please click here to read the article in English and click here for the Portuguese version.

​

Please remember to send in your entries for our "Time to Smile/Goofy Look" Competition.  We have an online form on our webiste - please click here to go to the form and enter as many dogs as you'd like.  We also have a gallery with the photos of the dogs that have been entered.

Sterilisation Awareness Month - February.....

SOS Algarve Animals, APAR, Cacela Dog Haven and StreetLife are “coming together” during February to tackle a problem: unwanted animals in the East Algarve. Working together makes sense and we're endeavouring to help pet owners on low incomes with sterilising their pets and to end the suffering of dogs and unwanted litters of puppies. StreetLife will concentrate on dogs/puppies and SOS Algarve Animals will focus on cats/kittens. A joint project will be launched in February with the mission to reduce the number of abandoned and dumped pets.

Our objective is to educate pet owners, government and local Camaras about sterilisation.  It is the only way forward in the quest to reduce the number of unwanted animals. February 23rd is World Spay Day - what better way than to have a Sterilisation Awareness Month to highlight a solution to a problem and a fun competition to find the nicest smile.... or goofy look. 

                                           Be wise - sterilise!

The Algarve Daily News has written an article about our proposed joint effort with SOS Algarve...... click here to read all about it.

January StreetNotes....

​

Each month an email goes out to all of the StreetBuddies, StreetLife QuizWhizzers and StreetLife supporters to keep them up to date with current news and what’s going on.

We thought it would also be a good idea to shares these StreetNotes on our website so our supporters know what’s going on between our Newsletters.

First of all we need to tell you who our January lucky StreetBuddy is for our monthly draw: SB 067 Ben who lives in the UK. This month's "thank you" gift has to be something that we can get to the UK... so it is a Marks & Spencer “Dine in for Two” Voucher, which can all be sorted on line.
