The above was posted on a friend’s page. I thought I’d share it with you as I have learnt that one small association just rehomed a dog to someone who already has 18 dogs! Now, I have 5 dogs, french lurcher, 3 galgos and a podenco. All but one is too old to insure, so vet bills can be expensive. The old lurcher is on tablets which cost my hubbie 100 euros/month. On top of that, of course, we have dog food. I cannot understand how someone can afford 18 – soon to be 19 dogs!
I know the situation in Spain for the galgos and podencos is horrendous and associations are desperate to home dogs, to make room to rescue another one. But there has to be some sense applied in who is allowed to adopt. In France, if you have more than 9 dogs, you have to register as a kennels.

In Spain it is only 5 ANIMALS before you have to get the kennelpermit. They are more strict now in some parts of the country. And for each dog that comes in, it has to be registered at the Townhall, for, in a future having to pay a registration fee. But most of them are not prepared to do it yet.
