Tina Solera is one of the British volunteers working in northern Spain helping abandoned dogs, especially galgos. She told me about a refuge in the mountains north of Madrid, El Refugio. It has over 200 dogs at the moment – and the hunting season hasn’t yet finished! This link takes you to the information of how you can help them, if you live in the same area.
Besides needing donations to pay for dog food, veterinary care, etc. they also have a range of T shirts and Sweatshirts at unbelievable prices!

Hi, this is a great charity to support. I am actually based at a dog refuge in Murcia but follow the work of el refugio Madrid. They were in Murcia protesting which led to an article in the local paper here but this is a story you covered previously.
Its chillyish here in Murcia and im watching two beautiful greyhounds snoozing on my rug…. if only all had such a good life!

Thanks, Tina.
This is the problem with living in France and
taking news from Spain. I have to rely on the information I am
given. But I hope to go down to Madrid in January and visit lots of
associations and shelters and refuges and – if I have enough emotional strength
– some killing stations, and then I can tell it all in my own words from my own
experience. As well as that of all the wonderful people in Spain who
support the fight for a better life for galgos and podencos.

Hi
Yes it must be difficult but you are doing such a great job covering all these stories and raising awareness of the cruelty that goes on. Anything I can do to help just ask!
