About the shelter
SOS Animal is a Lisbon-based animal welfare association best known for its Clínica Veterinária Solidária (CVS) on Estrada Paço do Lumiar, where low-cost veterinary care is offered to families in difficulty and to rescuers. A small group of resident animals lives at the clinic while waiting for a permanent home, and each of them can be met in person at reception.
Mission
SOS Animal defends animal welfare in Portugal through its Solidarity Veterinary Clinic in Lisbon, affordable veterinary care, sterilisation campaigns and the adoption of the resident animals living at the clinic.
History & background
SOS Animal has campaigned for animals in Portugal for decades, combining petitions and public awareness work with hands-on veterinary support. The Solidarity Veterinary Clinic and the association's sanctuary projects grew out of that work, funded by members, donations and sponsorships.
Geographic service area
The clinic and adoption centre are in Lisbon (Paço do Lumiar), serving adopters across the Lisbon metropolitan area.
Animals rescued
SOS Animal rehomes the dogs and cats resident at the Solidarity Veterinary Clinic. Animals that cannot yet be adopted can be sponsored, covering their food, treatment and monthly care.
