Last Hope Sanctuary

A home for dogs, cats, and other animals who need a break.

Dogs, cats, horses and pigs

We want to give animals a better chance at enjoying their lives. But please don’t dump any animals at our gates without consultation. We’d be happy to support you if you think an animal on the island is suffering from the way humans are treating them.

A place animals can be free and safe

We’re trying to find all of them a home, but not every home wants an old dog, or donkey. But these are glorious animals with their own unique personalities and we love them all. But if you have a dog or animal friendly environment and can manage the responsibility of taking one of our animals, let’s talk.

“I’m Rosalita the goat, but I prefer the company of dogs and cats to other goats.”

“I’m Roger the Pot Bellied Vietnamese pig. I like pears and I just turned up at the sanctuary and have been here ever since.”

“I’m Dolsa the donkey and I often snaffle the cat food left out for the my feline buddies.”

Some of our other residents

    Helga is a Mallorquin horse trainer who has a great talent with animals.

    Aston has limited mobility. He gets about though dragging his rear paws and maintains a positive outlook on life.

Would you like to sponsor an animal?

We can’t give every animal who has endured maltreatment a home in our retreat in Mallorca. So if you can offer a contribution to help us meet the vets bills, we’d love to hear from you.

We believe animals deserve the space and saftey to be themselves.

A different attitude to animals

Last Chance isn’t about breeding puppies nor is it about delivering breeds to the masses. We simply believe that all animals are owed some quality of life. If they’re an old dog with the odd behavioural issues, we feel we owe it a few good years while it’s in our care. After all, why shouldn’t a dog have some of the good things in life? If you have some ‘animalista’ sympathies and can help us on this mission, why not get in touch?
