Over a dozen galgos have recently arrived at Galgos Rescue Almeria shelter. They all need vet checks, blood tests for mediterranean disease, microchips, pet passports prepared. This was a walk organised to raise much needed funds. If you want to donate, here’s the weblink.

I, [FULL NAME], holder of ID number [ID/PASSPORT NUMBER], submit this statement regarding the preliminary public consultation on the draft Royal Decree on traditional zoological centres to express my concern about its scope and consequences.
I support the submissions of Fundación AnimaNaturalis Internacional (CIF G67350462) and highlight the following:
– Definition of “traditional zoological centres”
The current definition, based mainly on exclusions, creates legal uncertainty and allows overly broad interpretations. Clear, positive and restrictive criteria are essential to avoid including animals or establishments that should not fall under livestock health regulations.
– Exclusion of hunting dogs and other non-productive dogs (more…)
From Scooby Medina. Lined up, handed over, saved. 25 galgos
Nieves and Fermin set off last week towards Extremadura (Badajoz) to collect 33 galgos and one Breton. With poor road conditions and severe weather alerts, this rescue could not wait.
In the end, 25 dogs made it out. For the galgueros, a handover without regret. For the galgos, the beginning of a new chance. It won’t be easy or immediate, but this is where everything begins. (more…)
Thinking of all the Spanish rescue shelters in Andalucia during the terrible Storm Leonardo and praying none of them are flooded out or suffer damage. This from PACMA – Partido Animalista.
We’re writing to you today at a particularly worrying time. Given the adverse weather forecast for Andalusia, we at PACMA have had to do what no other political force is doing: demand the activation of an emergency plan that includes animals.
While the authorities are preparing (and rightly so) to protect people and infrastructure, animals remain absent from official protocols.
Overcrowded shelters, volunteers without resources, animals dependent on humans completely exposed to the cold, heavy rain, or potential flooding. This is the reality that keeps repeating itself, and from which we never seem to learn. (more…)
Galgos amongst the 26 hunting dogs rescued.
This is the current state of the river running by Scooby Medina shelter. Many animals live out – horses, donkeys, sheep, goats.
Rescued galgos continue to arrive at the shelter.
