Little Pod is a non-profit association that raises funds to help animals in the Orihuela Costa region. The charity aims to reduce the number of suffering animals and give them a second chance in a happy home, which is something it believes they all deserve. Every cent helps. It relies solely on donations to be able to continue its work, which includes:
• Rescuing abandoned and ill-treated animals off the streets and from overcrowded shelters
• We ensure all animals receive blood tests for diseases, vaccinations, a microchip, a passport for travelling and are neutered/spayed
• Veterinarian treatment is given for those who require it
• Time is spent with each animal to help them adjust to their new environments
• Rehoming to loving, caring homes in Spain, UL and other parts of Europe

A range of local bars, businesses and restaurants have supported the event by donating prizes or giving cash donations.
