For anyone that met or knew Gregory Evans you'll know he was a kind big hearted man that would do anything for anyone and his support and work at arc over the years is testament to that.
Its with so much sadness we have to announce his passing after a short battle with a brain tumour. Arc managed to get his beloved dogs down to the hospice to see him before he died which truly made him happy...

All are welcome as are any photos or memories

There really is nothing better than taking a dog back home to his beach after a little help from . ❤️

Big Red was spotted by some lovely ladies visiting from the UK, who knew that if he was neutered he would have a much better chance of a safer, healthier life, with less risk of getting into fights.

Thanks to their kind donation, ARC was able to act quickly. After a few days of recovery, Big Red was returned to his familiar spot on the beach, where he belongs. This video tells the story better than words ever could.

A huge thank you to the wonderful ladies who made this possible. Your kindness has made a real difference to Big Red’s life. 🐾

Puppy burrito anyone? 🐶🛁🌯

Here at ARC, we’ve got lots of adorable puppies in need of a good scrub… and trust us, there’s nothing cuter than a freshly bathed “puppy burrito”!

If you’re in the Canacona (Palolem Patnem included) area, why not pop in and lend a hand? We’re always looking for volunteers to help in the mornings from 830 or from 3pm in the afternoon – even an hour makes a huge difference.

Whether it’s bath time, cuddles, or just giving these little ones some love, you’ll be helping them on their journey to a happy, healthy life 💛

Visitors and donations are always welcome, and every bit of support helps us continue the work we do.

Come and meet the team (and the puppies!) – we promise you’ll leave smiling 🐾
