Pepis Dog Refuge – thanks to donators

Back from Spain now. Before I went, I scheduled some articles to publish whilst I was away and I hope you have found them interesting. One of the two refuges we visited was Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera and many of you very kindly sent parcels to me to take down to them. Below is Jane’s message to you all.

The weather was good whilst we were there but after we had left Pepis suffered yet another terrible mud slide all through the kennels and ground floor of the house – on Christmas Day! They have the most wonderful dogs at Pepis – over 70 – and some of them have been there since puppies – 3 or 4 years now (look at beautiful Sandy) – all waiting for forever homes. I’d have brought some of them back for me – except 5 dogs here is enough when taking into account dog food and vet fees/vaccinations etc! Please take a look at their dogs in adoption.

Sidney is adorable, he dances on his hind legs – can’t believe no one has taken him. And Leila just wants to make a fuss of you and get lots of fuss back. And cute little Samuel – and Pebbles, a stunning small Dalmation – together with Tsar, an English Setter just arrived! Bill and Ben are beautiful podenco x basenji – stunning dogs! And a bored labrador who chases his tail sometimes. All waiting for forever homes – all fabulous dogs.

Whilst we were there, we saw a galguero running his 6 galgos alongside his motorcycle. Along the dirt track he came, up the hill, and about 10 minutes later he was back along the lower track, still running the galgos. They had obviously had enough, were trying to trot down to walk but he ignored them – just motored on dragging them behind him!

We also watched another man setting traps on the hillside, probably for rabbits.

Here are Jane’s thanks. And I’d like to add mine – you are wonderful supporters of the appeals I run and this one was no exception. Many of the dogs coats were soon put to good use.

First of all we have to say how lovely it was to finally meet David and Beryl Brennan, when they visited our refuge this Christmas, bringing with them all the way from France, the many many things that had very kindly been donated, for David and Beryl to bring with them. These are just some of the things, many have already been put to use, due to the bad weather we had, so we would like to take this opportunity to thank
