LIZZIE DESERVES A HOME!
Not a return to the shelter 💔

After everything she’s been through — surviving on the streets and being used for breeding — Lizzie finally got to know the safety and comfort of a home. Now, through no fault of her own, she may lose that again. We have no judgement on that, we just want to focus on finding a new home for Lizzie.

Lizzie is a gentle, shy girl who would love a quiet home and, ideally, another kind dog to help her feel safe. She loves peaceful walks, pottering in the garden, and simply being somewhere calm and secure. She can be timid and wary of new people and men, given her background; but she could also be the most gentle companion.

Please help us find Lizzie a foster or forever home so she doesn’t have to go back to the shelter.

She is available on free adoption. And if you can’t adopt, please share — her person may be just one post away.

🐾 WHY HASN'T ANYONE CHOSEN FRED? 🐾

We honestly don't understand.

Fred has spent more than 6 months waiting at the SCAN Shelter in El Verger, watching other dogs leave while he stays behind.

He's still just a young boy with his whole life ahead of him.

Everyone who meets Fred falls in love with him. The volunteers adore him. He is friendly, gentle, affectionate, and one of the easiest dogs to spend time with.

❤️ Loves people

❤️ Loves other dogs (especially the ladies!)

❤️ Loves walks and adventures

❤️ Loves his food and his comfy bed

❤️ Loves life

But what Fred wants more than anything is a family of his own.

At around 25kg, Fred is the perfect size for someone looking for a loyal companion to share beach walks, countryside adventures, lazy afternoons, and everyday life.

Every evening he returns to his kennel and waits for another day.

Another day hoping somebody will finally choose him.

Could that somebody be you?

📍 SCAN Shelter, El Verger

📩 Please contact us for more information or to arrange a meeting with Fred.

Even if you can't adopt, please share this post. The person who changes Fred's life may be just one share away.

🐾 Sylvester is such a special boy, and it’s impossible not to fall for him. He is loving, affectionate, sociable and full of joy — the kind of dog who brings warmth and happiness wherever he goes. Seeing how beautifully his sister Lexi has settled into her new home in Orba only shows just how wonderful Sylvester truly is. 💛

Sylvester has so much love waiting to give. He loves people, enjoys the company of other dogs, adores his food, and is always happy to head out for a good walk. He has all the qualities anyone could wish for in a companion, and yet he is still spending his days in the shelter, waiting for somebody to choose him. 💔

Dogs like Sylvester should not be growing old behind shelter walls. He deserves a soft bed, loving arms, daily walks, and the safety of a home where he can finally relax and belong. He really is the perfect package, and he needs to be out of the shelter and into the life he deserves. 🏡

If you have room in your heart and home for a dog who will give back every bit of love and more, please think about Sylvester. He is ready to be someone’s whole world — now he just needs someone to give him that chance. 💛

🐾 Sweet Lexi has officially left the shelter and started her new life with her loving family in Orba 💛 — and their words say it all: they already can’t imagine life without her. 🏡

She settled in almost straight away and has been an absolute joy.

✨ At home, she’s nearly perfect, with the occasional happy zoomie, and she adores her family, her cosy bed, and of course, her food! 🐶🛏️🍽️

Her new family are helping her enjoy everything life has to offer — meeting people, making doggy friends, going on lovely long walks, and even visiting the local bar where she gets a biscuit from the landlord. 🐕🌿🍪 She’s sociable, trusting, and taking every new experience in her stride. We are so proud of Lexi. ❤️

And here is the part that truly tugs at the heart: Lexi’s brother, Sylvester, is still waiting at SCAN for his forever home. 💔 The two lived together before coming to the shelter, and in so many ways Sylvester is just like Lexi — the same lovely nature, the same potential, the same chance to make a family incredibly happy. 🐾

Seeing how beautifully Lexi has settled in is a wonderful reminder of just how much love Sylvester has waiting to give. 🏡

If Lexi’s story has touched your heart, perhaps Sylvester is the one you’ve been waiting for. 💛

SCAN CHARITY QUIZ!

HUGE thanks to everyone who came to support our Fun Charity Quiz, held at El Forn Vell in Orba, yesterday. We had 9 teams and nearly 50 players, who enjoyed a 8 fun rounds of general knowledge, picture and table quizzes, arranged by Lisa, SCAN volunteer.

Tracey at El Forn Vell served up 45 suppers in record time. Our sincere thanks to the brilliant bar team, who kept all our players fed and watered!

Also huge thanks to Tracey for donating 5 amazing hampers, for the Raffle and the winners, who were Team Cat Scan. 🏆

We are delighted to say we raised a whopping 670€, which included a very general donation of 100€ in small change in a bottle from the bar.

Thanks also to other raffle donations, from friends of SCAN.

If you want to join in next time, we hope to return to the Forn Vell, later in the year.

Thanks again to everyone!

PUPPIES INCOMING!

Next week, we’ll be welcoming four gorgeous puppies into our care — and we already know everyone is going to fall in love with them. If you hear a rumbling from El Verger, its just the stampede of our volunteers rushing in to meet them.

What makes this story especially lovely is that these little ones have not been abandoned — they’ve been cared for at home with their mama, and the family has worked closely with us. Exactly how it should be - working as a team!

TOGETHER, we’re making sure the puppies’ welfare comes first, supporting mama to be sterilised, and putting everything in place so each puppy can have a safe, legal and loving future home.

Now we need your help — can you suggest some names for them? We have two tan-and-white girls and one black-and-white girl and a tan and white boy. . Pop your ideas in the comments below on our Facebook post, and we’ll put the favourite names to a vote at the shelter next week.

The puppies will be going into foster care and will be available for adoption once they’ve had all their vaccinations. They were born on 1st March and are a Breton Spaniel x Ratanero cross — what a wonderful mix!
