Jerez has two perreras, one municipal and one privately owned. This winter it has been difficult to keep up with the numbers of dogs in these places, especially galgos and some podencos. I haven’t been able to post them all on GN, but suffice to say that a few dozen have been taken out by rescue associations, before being killed. They range in age from a 5 month old podenca (Angela) to 1 and 2 year olds up to the mama breeding machines, 7 years upwards. Some of them are negative to diseases, others develope them after rescue and some are at the stage of simply wanting to give up on life.
Draco is one poor boy, thin, sick and with a body covered in scars.
Silvia of GalgoConnectionSpain is one of the amazing volunteers who has a special gift for nursing galgos which other people might give up on. She says ‘the first day he was cryiing and crying, we thought he has pain but he only wants to be with people,his eyes are so sad, is tired.
Draco came from Jerez, he is around 2-3 years old. He came in a really bad condition like you can see in the pictures. For now he stays in the vet clinic, he has leishmania, erlichia and rickettsia, is receiving treatment but it is difficult. The vet is feeding him because alone doesn’t want to eat; he needs special food and care.’
Please can anyone help towards the vet fees to give Draco chance to find out what it feels like to be loved, receive regular food, find a forever home. Donate by Paypal
