Vila do Bispo
Mayday Algarve
A volunteer-run sanctuary giving abandoned dogs safety, care and a way home.
Our mission is to create a safe haven for dogs whilst they wait for a new loving home.
We take in any kind of dog when we have space for them and make sure they receive any medical treatment they need, along with regular deworming, heartworm protection, flea and tick prevention and vaccinations.
Meet the dogs
Every dog at Mayday has their own personality, story and journey. Take your time, get to know them and find the companion that feels right for you.

From the moment a dog arrives, everything is about giving them what they need next. Care, safety, patience and the right people around them, until home is finally within reach.
Rescue
Every dog’s journey starts with safety, medical care and the chance to begin again.
Recover
Time, patience and consistent care help them heal and learn to trust again.
Belong
The right home is not the end of the story. It is the life they were waiting for.
