14 years saving lives
Hello and welcome!

I am very happy that you visit us in this “virtual home” that is our website and I hope you enjoy everything we have prepared to show you.
Between all of us we have created a space free of speciesism: an animal sanctuary within whose physical limits they are neither consumed nor advertised as products.
Its facilities are adapted according to the needs and interests of each individual and according to their personal characteristics. Protection spaces or parks where different species coexist in peace and harmony, without cages or fences that hold us back or isolate us from each other.
There are 30 hectares of immeasurable beauty in which some animals now live happily that were victims of situations of exploitation, abandonment or extreme suffering:

These pillars are built on the basis of:
