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.....

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.

StreetLife's Coffee Morning.......
What a wonderful morning! ..... StreetLife's twice-yearly StreetBuddy Coffee Morning brought together our amazing community of supporters and we couldn't be more grateful. Click here to see a few photos.
We were able to provide some really good news!!
-
Over 1,750 success stories - and counting! Every one represents a dog sterilised, microchipped and given a better future in the Eastern Algarve.
-
An amazing €36,000 raised by 80 dedicated StreetBuddies since the programme launched in 2019
-
Already 126+ applications received in just six weeks during our recent April-May free sterilisation campaign - with the final count still to come!
To stay connected during COVID and when fundraising events were not possible, we began the StreetBuddy programme. It's grown into a family of buddies.... and what a family it is!
Did you know that StreetLife itself was founded in 2017 and we've been "snipping and chipping" our way to a far better East Algarve for dogs and families, alleviating the suffering associated with the proliferation of unwanted litters of puppies. None of the effort involved happens without our StreetBuddies, StreetEyes, Partner Vets... Shelters... and Associations. Never forgetting, of course, the applicants themselves - over time, it seems that as awareness grows and education improves, the value of StreetLife's programme is being recognised.
A huge thank you to Dizzie, Jean, Maggie and Janet for organising the morning; to Dinis of Churrasqueira de Marim for hosting - a loyal StreetLife supporter for many years - and to StreetLife President Graeme, for personally covering the costs of the event, together with StreetBuddies making kind donations for cakes and plants. Every bit makes a difference!

What if for the price of one coffee a month, you could change a dog's life - and the lives of countless puppies who would never be born into suffering? For just €5, you can become a StreetBuddy and join our growing family of 80 supporters who have already raised €36,000 to sterilise and microchip dogs across the Eastern Algarve. It takes minutes to set up - a monthly or quarterly standing order, bank transfer or PayPal - and every single euro goes directly to the dogs who need it most.

StreetLife's Beyond Sterilisation Story!.....
With some regularity we find that during the pre-sterilisation Vet check, there are additional issues that require attention..... at StreetLife, we will always try to take on those surgical/ medical necessities to further enhance the future life of that dog. To avoid suffering as much as possible, there are these times that StreetLife will help with costs, over and above the fee for sterilisation.
In this particular case, poor OLLIE (about 8 years old) who lives in the São Bras area, contacted one our StreetEyes... Marie.... to ask for help. After a visit, Marie found that OLLIE lives with her family plus two other dogs and a cat. There were tumours that Marie noticed immediately due to their size and the StreetLife Partner Vet consulted, asked us whether we'd be able to help with the surgery for the tumours..... of course, we agreed. The surgery was deemed urgent after x-rays and blood tests and because OLLIE was biting the tumours, causing them to bleed. She was immediately fitted with a pemanent plastic cone and given antibiotics. It was decided that because there were mammary tumours on both sides, they could not all be removed during one operation. OLLIE will have the second surgery in a few months time.... which StreetLife will also support.
Thanks to Marie for responding so quickly...... and taking care of arrangements!
This is StreetLife's 1721st sterilisation!!!!
