Discover the APAD Charity Shop in Jalón!
Where second-hand items become second chances.
Have you ever wondered what happens to the things people donate to APAD?
Or do you have something special you no longer use that you’d love to give a meaningful new purpose?
In addition to the daily work at APAD’s shelter in Dénia, there’s another beautiful way to support our dogs:
our charity shop right in the heart of Jalón!
Here, second-hand items are transformed into something much more meaningful:
care, food, and new opportunities for APAD’s dogs.
It’s another — equally important — way to sustain everything we do for them.
The shop was founded more than 20 years ago by the beloved Betty Smith, an APAD volunteer who lived in the Jalón valley. She dreamed of creating a place where all proceeds would go directly to the shelter. She made it happen with passion and effort until she passed away. Since then, other volunteers have lovingly continued her legacy.
Today, the shop is still full of life, thanks to a dedicated team and visitors from near and far looking for treasures, bargains, and the warm atmosphere that defines us.
It’s a store run 100% by volunteers, with lots of love and care.
Our team speaks Spanish, English, Dutch, and German.
Prices are very affordable, and once basic operating costs are covered, all profits go directly to the care of APAD’s dogs.
