About Us
Our mission is to fight against pet abandonment in Portugal.
Our Story
Founded in April 2001 by a group of animal enthusiasts, Amigo Fiel emerged from a shared distress over the plight of sick, hungry, and weary stray animals roaming the streets of Bombarral.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide a nurturing and secure haven for stray and abandoned dogs, and to ensure they find their forever homes through adoption. We are driven by the belief in the right to happiness and well-being for all our furry friends.
A Second Chance
At Amigo Fiel, we look after dogs that are abandoned, surrendered, or rescued from neglectful and abusive environments. We dedicate ourselves to their care, recovery, and preparation for a new chapter with a loving family.
Our commitment extends beyond rescue and rehoming. We work hard to socialize our rescue dogs, teach them basic commands, and train them to walk on a leash. This helps to enhance their adoptability and ease their transition to a new environment.
Join Our Pack
At Amigo Fiel, we are fervent advocates for animal welfare. We raise awareness of animals in distress and collaborate with educational institutions to teach kids about animal care. As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of donations and the invaluable support of volunteers to sustain our mission.
Every dog deserves a loving home. We are committed to turning that belief into reality for as many dogs as we can. If you are moved to adopt, volunteer, or donate, we warmly invite you to join us in our quest.

Às instalações estão sempre muito limpas e os cães têm conforto Obrigada por tudo o que fazem!Eve Kirby2024-04-04Amigo Fiel Bombarral were absolutely fantastic in helping us to adopt a dog. The whole process was really straightforward. Volunteers helped us choose the right dog for our family, we discussed our criteria and they encouraged us and supported us in that decision. We were constantly updated throughout the whole process and were grateful to receive photos of our beautiful dog whilst waiting for him to arrive. It's obvious how much the all the volunteers care for each and every dog. I would highly recommend adopting a dog from Amigo Fiel Bombarral. We are so very lucky that we now have Nero, a gorgeous, family dog living with us.
