  • Rescued galgo puppy PJ safe with Podenco Friends in Murcia

    Bev Carley and PJ on his own 400 3 5 2019
    Occasionally Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends gets a rescued galgo turn up. Here’s the story of this little one.

    ‘PJ is a very young galgo pup found in a dreadful state. He has gained a kilo, not that you would know, but he still is terribly thin. Had got him eating and he seemed a little brighter but sometimes you get this feeling things are not just right. So I took him to the vet and said ‘I’m not sure what is the problem with PJ. So we did a bank of blood tests. What a shocker! This pup has liver failure, I have never seen such a high count. Plus he is very anaemic.

    So there a few reasons why –

    Poor nutrition
    canine hepatitis
    Leptospirosis
    Liver shunt

    PLEASE DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SHARING

    Anns Canine Care power of sharing 400 25 4 2019
    One day a very special person called your guardian angel saw how sad you were because you thought that nobody loved you.

    But this angel saw your beautiful heart and wanted to share it, and just knew that there was somebody out there searching for this beautiful heart.

    Now a lady that was looking for your beautiful heart couldn’t find you. She searched everywhere, in the woods, over the mountains, and across the seas. She asked the moon and the stars and they didn’t know where you were, So she felt very sad too!

    But then one day a little bird visited the lady that was looking for you and your beautiful heart and told her There is a guardian angel on facebook and she is sharing a beautiful heart. Perhaps that’s the heart you are looking for.

  • Update on galgo Arkos – 405 euros still needed for the second operation

    Arkos face 400 1 5 2019
    Update on galgo Arkos.

    After a couple of blips with the dreaded bucket collar, Arkos’s first surgery is now healing well.

    Predictably, he absolutely HATES it and tried his utmost to get rid of it and give his incision a thorough ‘lick’! But needs must !! Of course, the most important thing is that his surgery was a success and all is healing well, and that there is no infection present.

    Time is flying by and his second (originally planned) operation (the broken Calcaneus in his hock) has just ended, which raised £565.43 , or €657 … we still need to raise €405. PLEASE, WILL YOU ALL CONTINUE TO HELP PAY FOR THAT AND GIVE ARKOS A NEW LIFE WITHOUT PAIN?
