Refuge
Welcome to ACE|SHIN
ACE|SHIN stands for 'Animal Care España’, Spaanse Honden In Nood, SHIN for short. In the Netherlands we communicate under the name ACE. In Belgium, our organization is known as SHIN. ACE|SHIN is committed to combating the abuse and killing of dogs and cats in southern Spain, takes care of them, finds them a good home, and sets up castration projects locally. Our Refugio (shelter) houses 500-700 dogs and cats per month, who receive the care they need day in, day out, such as food and medical care. Every dog and cat, sick, old or disabled, receives at ACE|SHIN a fair chance.
Rabane-D
Dog long stayer of the month:
"Rabane"
We would like to update you on Rabane, our handsome crossbreed Fila Brasileiro who has been in our care for over two years now. Together with his brother Paco, Rabane came to us after their original owners could no longer care for them due to deteriorating circumstances and illness. Paco has now found his forever home, but Rabane is still patiently waiting for his chance. He is incredibly sweet and affectionate and has made many dog ​​friends in the past years and clearly enjoys their company. Although he and his brother sometimes had the tendency to chase other dogs, Rabane is an exemplary and calm dog in the house.
Maca_2-D
Cat long stayer of the month:
"Maca"
Maca's sisters have already found a new home. In the meantime, Maca has become great friends with Rocío, long-term resident of the month December. Both are very social cats, and would love to be adopted together. They can also be placed separately, but given their social nature, we would like to see them live together with another cat.

Give a Spanish Adoption Dog or Adoption Cat a Chance!

 Adopting a dog or cat from abroad saves lives! You can hear their voice in the stories of our lucky ones in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, UK or elsewhere… “You cannot save all the animals in the world, but you can save the world of one dog or cat.”

Dog of the week

These three little ones were the last ones of a hunter who was accused of neglect. Three survivors of a family were the only ones left. They fought and fought, but no one took them. They are nevertheless enormous sweethearts, and we therefore adopted these last three into our large family.

Their brother has been enjoying his Forever Home for a while now, these 2 boys are a bit reserved at first but towards people they know they are real pearls! Where can these brothers enjoy their own Forever Home forever and ever?!

Cat of the week

Sometimes things can go strangely with close friendships. Ceres and Afrodita have both chosen their own paths and we noticed that they slowly started to need each other's company less and less. They have gained enough self-confidence to go their own way. That is why we have decided to no longer offer them as a duo.

Ceres and Afrodita come from the same home, they were given up due to lack of time.
The first week they were both very scared, they were curled up together and wouldn't even look at us. Afrodita was the first to approach her, she carefully came for a sniff and you could also stroke her perfectly at that moment. Ceres only watched it from a distance, but a few days later he stood up to Aphrodita. This nice duo remains a bit timid but has a golden character.

ACE Blogs

Fabienne, founder of ACE|SHIN, shares in her diary – almost daily – the stories of life within the rescue center “de refugio”; place of recovery and hope. More than 20.000 dogs and cats have already left here for their Forever Homes in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain or elsewhere….

Adopters regularly share their experiences with adopting a foreign dog/cat through the stories of their ACE|SHIN dog or cat. They are the best voice for those who got a rematch, sometimes against various prejudices! Read their happy, funny, moving and special stories in the Geluksvogels Journaal.

ACE|SHIN has a large group of animal lovers who support our Foundation through volunteer work (such as taking in animals or collecting goods), sponsoring, promotion and actions or organizing activities. In Barking News we share all the news and updates here!

The In Memoriam diary is the last diary of our adopted four-legged friends. Often they have gone into the beloved hands of their owner. The dogs and cats that die in the refugio during the year are remembered annually during the ACE|SHIN anniversary on December 11.
