GosSOS Launches 2027 Charity Calendar Featuring Andorra's Hard-to-Adopt Dogs

GosSOS has unveiled its 2027 charity calendar, titled Mirades d'esperança ("Gazes of Hope"), which features twelve dogs from Andorra's canine protection centre that may struggle most to find a home. The calendar will go on sale for 10 euros during the Andorra la Vella Trade Fair, running from 23 to 25 October, where the association will have its own stand.

The presentation took place on Wednesday at Plaça de l'Església in Escaldes-Engordany, with a group photograph bringing together participating photographers, GosSOS members and volunteers, staff from the protection centre, and representatives of Assegur, the project's official sponsor.

The calendar focuses on dogs considered potentially dangerous breeds, older animals and those with special needs, groups that tend to have fewer adoption opportunities. Twelve professional photographers from Andorra contributed their work free of charge: Montserrat Altimiras, Carles Esteve, Laura Gálvez-Rhein, Jean Luc Herver, Pablo Ledesma, Jessone Morillon, Celine Pech, Emilio Prenas, Sebas Roque, Èric Rossell, Facu Santana and Gustavo Subilibia.

GosSOS president Audrey Montel said the initiative has a dual purpose: encouraging responsible adoption of animals at the shelter and raising funds for programmes supporting the most vulnerable or abandoned dogs. She said the calendar not only showcases the animals' beauty and dignity but also invites reflection on their circumstances, adding that it offers an opportunity to change them.

All proceeds from sales will go to GosSOS's animal welfare and support projects, with Assegur's sponsorship allowing the full purchase price to be directed to that end. After the trade fair, the calendar will also be available at various physical outlets, which the organisation will announce on its social media channels.
