  • Want a dog?

    Hug a Dog 400 7 2019
    Want a dog

    Wanting a dog does not involve just choosing which one you like more for your physical qualities or “race”, wanting a dog also implies to realize that you will invite him to share your life, your house, your space and that he also has needs and Many times will not fulfill your expectations.

    Wanting a dog is to be willing to love him in the good and bad, puppy, adult or grandfather, love him when he barks and have patience because something wants to tell you.

    Love him when he bites the walls and the armchair, when he runs and doesn’t listen to you because he’s expressing his nature free and playful. Take him to the doctor because he’s sick or hurt.

  • Toledo – galgo puppy for adoption

    Refugio Adopta galgo puppy 1 400 1 7 2019
    Refugio adopta Y Se Feliz

    ‘She is “fleeting” a beautiful pure galgo puppy, who has been born with a malformation in the right rear paw, so she is no good for hunting or racing! But she will have a normal life, walks and runs without a problem with the other dogs, is very good, and will be a beautiful little girl whose malformation will not prevent doing anything. In fact, with this poblem it has only served to ensure her life will be more happy from puppyhood.! She’s going to be a home, not hunting.

    It’s ideal. Mimosona and creamsicle.

    She will have a contract of adoption and sterilization before the year.

  • Scooby – saving the hounds is never ending

    Scooby birth galga 400 13 6 2019
    Scooby writes. ‘After 8 years of hunting and giving birth, this adorable galga has been abandoned by her owner. This is how many galgueros thank their dogs the loyalty they have shown towards them by hunting hares and giving birth to puppies to sell, exchange them or also use them for hunting. And it is that no matter how much the galgueros insist on denying it, thousands of galgos are abandoned in Spain every year.

  • More concerns for Spanish rescues homing hounds in the UK

    This is taken from Bev Farmer’s fb page Podenco Friends.

    ‘Changes to the entry of rescue dogs to the UK basically if the UK exit the EU with a deal or no deal the Euro tunnel will no longer be a designated Border Inspection Point for Dogs, Cats or Ferrets.. Some months ago the ferry companies stopped accepting transports with rescue dogs on and the only point of entry was the Tunnel. If this is correct the only means of transport will be by plane to the UK very few airlines fly dogs to the UK and the last one we flew over cost 600 pounds plus the cost of the crate paid by the adopter so will be beyond the affordability of most people .. I can not confirm if this is accurate information but

    I am aware many agencies have been lobbying to stop the import of foreign rescues due to animals arriving sick and with incorrect paper work. If anyone has any information regarding these changes please let us kno. This is a statement copied from a post by the group below
