SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa - Animal Rescue Organisation

The SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa is an Animal Rescue Organisation in Calpe that takes care of neglected, abused and abandoned animals, mostly dogs and cats. It has a No-Kill policy and provides a safe and caring environment until the animal is either reclaimed by its owner or placed in a new home.

The Charity SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa, or Sociedad Protectora de Animales Calpe-Benisa, is a Society for the Protection of Animals (in German: Tierschutzverein Calpe-Benisa). They are a non-profit association which cares for abandoned and abused cats and dogs in Spain. Since 1982, the SPA rescues them from the animal pound in Calpe, so they won’t be destroyed and bring them back to full health, this involves veterinary care, inoculation, castrations, operations and blood tests, etc. The SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa in fact have a contract with Calpe townhall to help rehome the dogs found in Calpe, and also pay for the castrations & some of the medical bills of the dogs in the Calpe municipal pound (or perrera). SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa is a registered Charity. Charity No. 5971 from 1st of March 1982. All of the animals are given a health certificate, passport and microchip when homed in Spain, Switzerland & Germany. SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa works together with mediation services Sternenhunde, Katzen Engel and Tierschutzverein Europa to place dogs and cats in good homes.

Animals in Spain In Spain, as in many other southern countries not all dogs are "mans best friend", he is only a guard and hunting machine. A lot of these dogs (usually Galgos, Podencos, Pointer...) are killed when the hunting season is finished or they become "too old" at 4 years!! for hunting. A "good" hunting dog gets the "grace" of a quick death, a bad dog will be tormented: they are shot, hanged, abandoned, burned or flogged to death - or they are given to a 'perrera' where they are killed after 10 days in a cruel way.   Animals for adoption There are currently over 30 dogs in the care of SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa, and about 20 dogs at the perrera of Calpe. Most of the dogs are in foster homes. All of the animals that can be adopted - including the ones at the perrera - are on the SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa website. Also take a look at the SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa Facebook page for more information and recent additions (incl. lost/found dogs). Adoption Fee All of the animals are castrated and are given a health certificate, passport and microchip and they are then homed in Spain, Switzerland & Germany, etc. SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa charge between 180 and 250 euros for the animals which does not cover the cost of their rehabilitation in a lot of cases. All their work is voluntary and they rely totally on public donations! Toby

What can you do? Caring for the animals costs a lot of money; there are mouths to feed, veterinarian services to be paid, and these are only two of the most important items. SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa relies solely on donations and on volunteers who help them in any way they can.   There are numerous things you can do to help. Anything you can do, whether big or small, counts. For example, you can:   - be a foster home - sponsor a dog - walk, groom & play with the dogs - adopt one of their dogs! - help during fundraising events - help with the stall on Calpe Saturday market - organise a fundraising event - take a dog to its new home abroad (via air or road) - raise awareness - help with administration, translations, marketing & communication - look for new homes - share on Facebook - donate food, your old blankets, brushes, leads, etc. - etc. Any ideas are most welcome! Read more about what you can do on their website. In any case, SPA TSV Calpe-Benisa would be very happy to answer your questions. Give them a ring or write them an e-mail or message via Facebook.
