It's quieter at the Centre (for the moment, we don't expect it will last!) as we have seen a few departures recently.  Our lovely Snowy, who has been with us for many months will be missed by our volunteers (here Sheila is saying goodbye to our lovely boy). After his...

Elly has been working for some time with little Rio who is fast learner. This week she has also been working with some of our volunteers, giving them an introduction to her training methods. As if she was not kept busy enough at ARCH, she has kindly offered to start...

  Bonnie and Clyde were also rescued recently.  A diminutive pony mare and a small donkey stallion. Confiscated from their owner whom SEPRONA considers incapable of looking after them, the pair had  been wandering the campo together for several weeks. Fortunately...

August 10th. We have three new rescues at the Centre who arrived on Saturday evening. They had been roaming loose on waste ground around an area in Malaga and the police had been receiving complaints from residents that they had been in gardens and near roads. They...

The local TV station came to film a short piece on ARCH recently to find out how we had been managing during the strict lock down. We have been extremely fortunate to have had such dedicated core volunteers as access was very restricted and they were often asked to...

And here we have ....... MERCEDES! Our donkey matriarche was 24 years old on June 1st. Mercedes came from a trekking centre several years ago and suffers badly from arthritis, though she can get to her feed bucket at an amazing speed!. She has also been known to go...
