At the beginning of February StreetLife launched a competition to try and find the Best Smiling Dogs in the East Algarve.  So much doom and gloom was around that they thought a few smiles were needed to lift our spirits. 

Castelo de Sonhos which supports low income families and married couples, and individuals living alone. Although the area covered by the charity is Silves and outlying areas, in more recent times they are collaborating with the Centro de Apoio Familiar e Aconselhamento Parental (CAFAP) which is currently supporting families who live in Portimão.

More good news! Ourém, featured in the ADN in January, has been adopted! Best wishes to "the girl with blue eyes" who is adapting well, adored and adoring!
Our cat of the week this week is Cátia...

More good news: ´Tareco´, a cat recently featured here on ADN, has now been adopted! Best wishes to Tareco and his new family, who adore him! Our Cat-of-the-week this week is ´Tikru´or ´Tigger´.

Great news - thanks to ADN support one of the cats we showcased earlier this month, Mimi, has been adopted! Best wishes for Mimi and her new family. But there is no shortage of other beautiful cats available for adoption at ADAPO. Marmelito is just one gorgeous body hoping to be chosen....

This week Tareco and Maria are looking for the fur-ever homes. They are both neutered, fit and healthy.... and beautiful!

ADAPO is a non-profit group, established in May 2004 in Olhão, with a mission is to improve the living conditions of the animals. It is dedicated to reducing the local feral population of cats and dogs by neutering and rehoming. Can you help?

There is so much doom and gloom around at the moment that StreetLife decided it was time to try and generate a few smiles. StreetLife is looking for the best smiling dogs in the East Algarve.
