🐾 Dog Walking at CRO Canil Santa Cruz
★ A Heartwarming Local Experience ★

If you're looking for a meaningful way to spend a few hours on Madeira, this is it. At the Santa Cruz animal shelter (CRO Canil), you can just show up weekdays between 09:00 and 16:30 and help walk the dogs — no appointment needed, no paperwork. The dogs love it, the shelter needs it, and you’ll walk away with a full heart.

This is more than a “thing to do” — it’s your chance to give back. Whether you’re solo, traveling with friends, or part of a group, this is an unforgettable way to connect with locals, animals, and nature at the same time.

👉🏼 Just say “Hi from Figo” — they know me. 🐶

Insider Tip:
• Wear comfortable shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting a little muddy.
• Bring water – for you and possibly the dogs!
• Combine it with a beach stop in Santa Cruz after – you’ve earned it.

Let me know if you’d like a ride or to join with others from Homeoffice Madeira!

EDIT: there are more shelters on the island, just google CANIL + the city you live in and call them or just pass by. Sooo many dogs waiting for you to walk them 🥺🥺
