Abandoned galgos and podencos everywhere, as well as dumped in killing stations. Can you imagine dumping this little cutie in a killing station?! There is a team trying to catch the podencos in Valencia, (mentioned in a previous post), one of the dogs has disappeared; and there are dozens wandering the streets of Murcia.
Galgos del Sol have been collecting some, and are trying to catch others – too frightened to be caught, so needing to be tempted into a trap. When are the hunters going to realise that the majority of Spaniards despise them for the bad press they give the country around the world. And when are the laws going to be applied.
These dogs all rescued this week need their EU passports preparing
– microchip, vaccination, blood test, sterilizing, and vet treatment where injured. If you can donate towards these costs, please Paypal tinasolera@hotmail.co.uk. Or Sponsor a Kennel – from 3 euros a month, and help pay towards food and vet fees for all the dogs which will pass through. Read about it on the website or email Tina direct. Contact her if you can offer a forever home.
The brindle boy is Brac. Found outside a shopping centre in San Javier on Friday night and was so exhausted walked by the front doors hoping desperately to be rescued. We picked him up 11pm at night and have settled him down. His bone is sticking out, another snare trap perhaps. He is only young and extremely thin. Now treated by the vet, his leg is saved and he is on medication.
The black boy is Jet – he has been inside a kennel for 2yrs and no-one looked at him. He’s 2-3 years old, vaccinated and castrated, good with other dogs and people.
Jenny, a rough haired galga, has an injured leg and has been living rough on the streets of Murcia. Suzie arrives next week from the Jerez killing station, along with little Angela, and the black galgo by the bins has a badly injured leg and is around a gypsy camp.
