Animal shelter in Cuevas de San Marcos, Málaga
El Arca De Cuevas
El Arca de Cuevas is an animal shelter in Cuevas de San Marcos, Málaga. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs and cats for adopters in the Málaga area, Spain and also abroad. Many of our former guests are now living their best lives in loving homes across the region and beyond.
Dogs available for adoption
Come walk with the dogs
We are always looking for volunteers!
We’re always looking for kind volunteers to take them out for walks, stretch their legs, and give them the love and attention they deserve.
Walk times
In winter we usually walk around 9:30 in the morning and around 17:00 in the afternoon, before it gets dark. In summer we start a little later: around 8:30–9:00 in the morning and around 19:30–20:00 in the evening, adjusting as the heat increases.
We have an active WhatsApp group where we always agree on the specific times. If you would like to come walk the dogs and get to know us, please write first so we know you are coming and can confirm the exact time.
Whether you come once a week or every day, your time means the world to our dogs. No experience needed—just bring your good energy and love for animals!
Roles you can help in:
- Feed the dogs and fill their drinking bowls
- Clean the common area while the dogs are walking
- Walk with the dogs
- Take a dog to stay with you over night
- Come to the events to collect donations
