Welcome to APASA
Apasa is the official dog shelter and re homing centre in Javea where their aim is give all stray and unwanted dogs a new foster or forever home.
Most communities in Spain maintain a “perrera”, a dog Shelter, where strays, homeless ill-treated or merely lost dogs and cats can be cared for. There are rumours that if the animal is not claimed in 21 days, it is sacrificed. In APASA this NEVER happens.
Would you like to give an APASA dog or cat a new home for life? we call this one Charlie!!
Their goal, is to find every dog an appropriate new home. At the end of 2016 they have 280 residents. Click on Dogs for Adoption to find a suitable one for you. They always have several Podencos, which the locals use as hunting dogs and are very often ill-treated or abandoned. They make wonderful loyal pets.
Where are we?
The shelter is in Cami de les Sorts, next to the Ecopark, click here for a map. Here we protect about 280 dogs. From here it is convenient to walk dogs. This is where you can view dogs for adoption.
