  • Ann’s Canine Care, Malaga – another needy soul saved off the street

    Ann MP galgo 1 400  2 11 2019
    From Ann Marie Payne of Ann’s Canine Care in Malaga.

    ‘We’ve had yet another emergency off the streets today. No chip, no name, so no justice for him. A piece of trash to his hunter/breeder. I’m beginning to hate them all with a vengeance. Don’t anybody ever tell me there are good hunters/ breeders. THERE REN’T ANY.

    This gorgeous boy was so exhausted he walked straight to his bed, got in and fell asleep. He has an injury to his leg/paw, not sure which yet but, he will be seen by the vet on Monday.

  • Protectora Scooby – saving the needy hounds

    Scooby galgo 1 400 10 2019
    ‘Elderly dogs, with tumors, with Leishmania or extremely thin… When we rescue animals we do it because they need help and because we’re worried about the fate that might await them without it.

    We don’t choose them for their color, size or age, nor do we care if they’re healthy or sick … We don’t select which dogs to help, we don’t think about whether they’re more or less beautiful or sociable, we don’t even consider if they will be easily adopted or if no one will want to give them a home and they’ll have to spend the rest of their lives with us in the shelter. None of that matters …

    In Scooby we are animal lovers and our main goal is to help the ones most in need as they also deserve the best life possible.

  • Galgo Dante hoping for a forever home

    Google translation from Spanish.

    ‘We tell you his sad story, Dante was rescued by a wonderful person with his sister Ágata, they were probably hunter waste, they were welcomed into a house but he asked us for desperate help because he had cats and Dante is not fit with them, so he we made room in our shelter.

    His sister Ágata was soon adopted instead for him nothing came out, Dante was very sad after the departure of his sister and to top it off other dogs did not accept him and beat him, he was welcomed and his welcome can not have him anymore, if nothing comes he will have to return to the shelter to a cold canine … Please help him, to go back to the shelter will take a toll,

    ANTE ️DANTE is a Barcino galgo of impressive beauty, he is only 2 years old, he is the embodiment of sweetness, a velvety rose with petals, he is a galgo for which there are no adjectives to describe him, his serene sweetness and his Immediate dedication to those who wish to share their lives with him . He is a calm calm, excellent companion for those who do not have a life too dynamic and love to walk. Sociable with other dogs. A home for Dante would be ideal where you can live with other dogs. He is not fit with cats. Walk great on a leash.

    He follows you without delay and wishes to see the moment of having a family with whom to share a true respectful and happy life.’
