The DogSmith of Estepona is raising funds for the dogs at 4 Paws Adoptions

About 4 Paws Adoptions

4 Paws Adoptions is a registered non-profit Spanish charity (Charity no.10067) solely dedicated to saving the lives of dogs that have been abandoned here in Spain. All the dogs saved are rescued from potential life or death situations and cared for by 4 Paws Adoptions until a suitable home can be found for them.

All the work at 4 Paws Adoptions is carried out by the head of the charity herself and supported by volunteers. All costs associated with the rescue and care of the animals is met by donations or funds raised through charity events.

4 Paws Adoptions is a small charity and, as such, fails to attract the same support of the larger charitable organisations. However, their size does not distract from the valuable work they do. All the dogs they rescue are medically checked, lovingly cared for and trained to a basic level in order to facilitate adoption. They spend quality time with the dogs and provide them with the love and attention they so desperately seek.

Every DogSmith will work toward a world where people and their pets live together to the mutual benefit of each. Through our efforts, skills and training, we can significantly reduce the number of unwanted pets.

The DogSmith Mission

The DogSmith of Estepona...

is committed to helping pets become family.

We would like to ask you to help us raise funds for 4 Paws Adoptions. On the 19th May, owner and head trainer of The DogSmith of Estepona, Louise Stapleton-Frappell, will be testing her nerve by zip-wiring from Spain into Portugal over the River Guadiana, on the first cross-border zip line in the world - LimiteZero

Along the 720 metres joining the two countries users cross over the river at speeds between 70 and 80 kilometres per hour, literally flying through time and gaining one hour because of the time zone change between both countries.

Louise is scared of heights so we hope that your kind donations will spur her on! She will be accompanied by her nephew, James Stapleton, who is assisting in this fund raising endeavour. Please wish them luck!
