How to be a hero without wearing a cape. Although you absolutely can.
The honest version
Running a rescue like Mayday Algarve isn't only cuddles, sunsets and cute puppy eyes. It's vet bills, food, medication, transport, repairs and about a thousand unexpected things every week.
So if you've ever thought, “I wish I could help somehow,” this is your sign. Pick the kind of giver you are and jump in.

A present with a real purpose

07
Practical treats for busy paws
We love snacks and the dogs definitely do too. Air-dried meat treats help keep teeth clean, occupy busy minds and make brilliant rewards on walks.
If you're nearby, Pet Shop Sagres stocks the good stuff, only around ten minutes from Mayday.

A gift that helps the dogs
Make a donation in someone's name and Mayday will create a personalised digital certificate featuring one of our dogs. It is a thoughtful gift for somebody who already has enough things, and one that helps cover food, veterinary care and daily essentials.
Include the recipient's name and chosen dog ambassador in your donation note, or email Mayday after donating.
If timing matters, ask Mayday about the current format and fulfilment time before making the gift.

Every bit counts
Every euro, every wishlist item, every monthly donation means real impact.
We and the dogs appreciate it more than we can ever put into words.
