Adopting a Rescue Dog
I’ve had rescue dogs all my life, mostly from rescue associations. Most of them have come with problems, usually as a result of bad treatment in their past. One 4-year old galga took over 2 years before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog, and that was after living with 4 other housemates. My current Spanish podenca came with a fear of men – what a surprise – after spending the first 7 years of her life shut in a shed and just let out for hunting. Even after over 4 years in our home, she is still nervous of men and many life situations.
So it is vitally important to understand the problems which adopting a rescue dog will bring with them, needing much patience whilst they adjust to home life, new people and situations.

Spain goes from bad to terrible for the animals – join the march 30th May in Madrid
The future hunting law in Madrid will not only affect the animals slaughtered without mercy — it affects you too. If you go out into the countryside on weekends, you need to know this:
As soon as it comes into force, hunting days will effectively become 365 days a year. No breaks. No respite. Paths will be closed, as will riverbanks. It won’t matter whether you’re a hiker, a cyclist, or simply someone who wants to enjoy the countryside on a Sunday. The countryside cannot become a battlefield. Animals will have no escape. And citizens who want to enjoy the land peacefully—
We’re counting on you to make our voices heard. On May 30th, we’re demonstrating. Mark this date in your calendar!!
Plaza de Callao · 12:00 p.m. · Madrid
Come, spread the word, let everyone know!!
