"All creatures on earth feel like we feel, endeavor for happiness like we do.They love, suffer and die like we do. All beings in distress have equal rights for protection. Not to cause our humble brothers in pain is our committment to the animals. But to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission to serve them whenever they need us." - St. Francis of Assisi
'ACE' stands for Animal Care of España. Since 2001 the founder and President of ACE, Fabiënne Paques, daily takes care of saving animals, which are brought to the killing station "El Refugio" in Mijas.
Dogs who have been wandering around for a while, dogs beaten up and neglected, dogs tied up at the gate of the shelter, puppies left in paper boxes, puppies found in garbage containers, dogs more dead than alive along the highway, or dogs just been dumped because of no reason by their owner, etc. Without Fabiënne's help these poor things would await euthanisation after a 10 days stay in the killing station.
Thanks to an agreement between ACE and El Refugio, these dogs are saved from death.
All dogs are being castrated or neutered, except for little puppies, and tested on several mediteranean diseases. Please read more in the chapters you find in the menu about ACE and how you can help us...
