Chuck & Vinnie

Vinnie and Chuck were born into unimaginable suffering in Portugal. Their mum Nina was chained in a concrete yard, forced to give birth in a hole in the ground. The puppies were kept in a tiny wooden box, the floor soaked in faeces, their world defined by neglect and misery.
In November 2025, they were rescued in a joint operation between Famalicão Sem Correntes and Unchained. Today they are ready for their forever homes.
Since their rescue the pair have been living in a kennel-free dog rescue where they have discovered joy, freedom and kindness for the first time. They are available for adoption.

Sirius

Sirius was barely alive when Unchained helped rescue him in a joint operation with Famalicão Sem Correntes. He had spent 10 long years living on a small circle of concrete. Sirius has severe arthritis and cataracts in both eyes. However, he is now living happily in a kennel-free sanctuary where he has made lots of new doggy friends! Please sponsor Sirius so we can provide him with the pain relief and veterinary care that he needs.

Pancake

Pancake spent over 10 years chained up outside. The long years of exposure have left her with a serious heart condition. Since her rescue, a joint operation between Famalicão Sem Correntes and Unchained, she has been living happily in a kennel-free dog sanctuary where her condition is being treated – and where she has learnt to love the luxury of a roaring open fire! Please sponsor Pancake so we can provide her with the veterinary care that she needs.
