The facility is a reference point for the entire Gallura region. The ASL Gallura veterinary service handles microchipping, the regional dog registry, sterilizations, and health management of stray animals. The Associazione Guardie Ecozoofile Sardegna (AGES) has operated since 2012 in animal protection and stray control across Olbia and Gallura, alongside the Associazione L'Arca dei Gatti in Santa Teresa di Gallura focused on feral cat colonies. On Adoot.me you'll find dogs and cats for adoption in Olbia and Gallura municipalities. Conditions vary by shelter — check each animal's profile for details or contact the association directly.
