Meet all the awesome animals who are part of the MGF Network and learn their stories!
Help Build The MGF Sanctuary!
We are the Maureen Gray Foundation and we are working to improve the lives of animals in a world desperately in need of a helping hand to change their treatment, attitudes towards them and their well-being.
We are a young team of Portuguese & English animal lovers and go-getters. We have spent many years volunteering for multiple charity organisations both in Portugal and the UK. We see the same shortcoming everywhere; A lack of education and support for the communities at the heart of these issues. Resulting in a terrible cycle of rescue – rehome and rescue again.
We are hoping to make a massive impact on community education and also fighting to change the laws surrounding animal care by setting an example of the highest standards, and practising what we preach, creating a rescue centre built on the core foundations that we believe in and with work carried out only by volunteers with the same morals and determination to change the current problems we face today not just in Portugal, but around the world.
We are dreaming big, very big in fact, but we know we have to start local…
We are asking you to support us in raising funds for the purchasing of land and the construction of a facility that will rescue, rehome and care for 100’s of dogs a year.
This will help us get our plan off paper and into a physical reality and allow us to really start making an impact in a space that very much needs yours and our help.
Many thanks for your time and attention. If you would like to reach out to us personally and find out more about the Maureen Gray Foundation, then please don’t hesitate to contact us directly, we would love to explain our ambitions and hear your thoughts or suggestions.
Best regards and wishes,
Natalya Gray – Founder/President
What is The MGF?
The MGF is a charity organisation which represents non-profit shelters who rescue and care for the animals shown on this site.
We are not a rescue shelter, nor do we directly look after these animals, however, we provide a crucial support and networking role to relieve our partners of the time, pressure and logistics of facilitating adoptions, whilst also ensuring this is a cost-free process for them every time.
The MGF handles all communications with the shelters and arrange for all necessary adoption processes through our trusted partners around Europe, making the whole thing efficient and easy for all, every time.
This allows the awesome volunteers on the ground to spend more time with the animals and continue their tireless work in rescuing and rehabilitating.
