Handicapped Galgo Polar – diary notes
For those of you who followed the story of disabled galgo puppy Polar – abandoned at the gates of Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville at 2 months old, here’s a update on his life at present, 2 years after he arrived to join our canine gang. (Photo of him nursing Alan Brian after heart problems)
He still doesn’t know he is handicapped on his rear left leg joint. He evinces no sign of pain and can run faster than the other 2 galgos…in straight lines! However, Bracken (with 4 good legs) can turn corners much quicker! He has a small scoop of MSM each day, is still collecting ASBOs – last night he destroyed one of the foam beds a friend made for the dogs to lie on the terrasse in the sunshine!

Mia Galga. seeking a special person
A beautiful galga needing a special forever home. Rosemary explains.
‘This is Mia, she is with us in a very small family run kennels. However she has come as far as she will there and needs to move into foster where she will get more one to one attention and bring her on the rest of the way It would be better if she went to someone with experience of dogs that are nervous? All her costs are covered, she is very good with other dogs.’

3-legged walk – Hove to Brighton – 19th July 2015 – please sponsor
From Tina Trussler
My daughter Georgy, her boyfriend Leigh and I are doing a three legged walk (or is it a 4-legged walk with 3 people?) this month (19th July) from Hove Lagoon to Brighton Pier to donate to a Dog Refuge in Spain. We have a passion to help abused and abandoned dogs. A lot of these dogs suffer extremely horrific injuries due to outrageous abuse.
We are raising money for Pepis Dog Refuge. They are based in Seville in Spain. Pepis Dog Refuge is run by two amazing people, Alan and Jane Brian! They work extremely hard, day in, day out in blistering hot conditions to look after the welfare of these dogs. They take the dogs in when they’ve been abandoned and abused and looked after them, and get them the help they need until they find them a suitable home. Alan and Jane do an amazing job. However, due to the nature of this job and the high levels of abuse they require a lot of funding. The Refuge is not government funded. It’s all run on donations.

Time for the EU to take action…Time for the FEG to take notice!
Another petition to sign…we have to keep pushing and publicising the plight of the galgos and podencos and the horrendous cruelty they suffer at the hands of the corrupt and unfeeling insensitive galgueros. If we don’t continue to speak up, nothing will happen. Change only come slowly, we have to keep trying.
