This little dog has been picked up by a lady who has just had a baby eight days ago, someone appears to have attempted to gouge his eye out…. the mind boggles????
She already has a few dogs and cannot keep this one so if anyone can offer foster care or a permanent home, please contact her on the email below.
She’s in Burgos, northern Spain.
Many of the email addresses did not work because they have been so
inundated by emails that either they have suspended the email address or
blocked them.
The association has managed to obtain a court injunction stopping the
removal of animals from the refuge.
The judge is still to rule if the association can keep the animals or
not.
We are in touch with the association and they appreciate the support you
have all given.
Thank you.
Saludos

Latest news is that the closure and withdrawal of animals is still going ahead.
Keep up to date with the story on the English language website for Centro Canino.
Also, emails to the Mayor have now been blocked, but you can still send your letter of protest through the post. Check links on main story for postal address details.
Latest news. Quick action by volunteers and rescue associations, already overflowing withg abandoned galgos, has resulted in the dogs being saved from being put down in the municipal dog pound.
Cristina de Luna is trying to find a permanent home for this little dog.
She is called NANA, she’s a crossed galga, very small.
She’s around 45 cm high and weights 10 kg., and is only 10 months old.
The photos show her in her foster home, but now her foster mum is very ill, and a refuge is the only other place open to her.
She cries the whole day and is very depressed because she doesn’t understand what happened.
If there is anyone looking for a small dog, this little girl is perfect.
PLEASE HELP US and “NO” we don’t need your Money!!
We run a dog rescue shelter in Mallorca, a small island off of Spain. > We are a member of WSPA and the RSPCA.
TODAY Palma Council plan to close us down. We’ve fought with them for years, but there’s every chance that on
VALENTINES DAY FEBRUARY 14TH, they’re going to send the Police into us & confiscate all of our resident dogs, cats, donkeys and horses.
Charlotte has just sent me this poster, and manifestation (.pdf). Apologies it is in Spanish. I’m desperately looking for someone to translate it into English for me, as she hasn’t time at the moment.
But basically it’s a protest against hunting with galgos and supporting animal welfare and the passing a new laws, everything we are fighting for, the national law will protect galgos, podencos and other Spanish hunting dogs.
If anyone can send me an English translation, I’ll be really grateful.
Nuria, from Amigos de los Galgos, tells the story.
‘We are horrified, just we have received 17 galgos. There was a rescue mission in a gypsies field, where 8 galgos were found, 2 puppies, and one was near death from hunger, he was only bones.
6 galgos were taken to the refuge also by the hunter.
If we won´t take them in the Pedro Munoz refuge, they will be put to a horrible torture until death. So we are obliged to avoid that so could happen.
There is a high bill due to the vet, we owe too much money there, and for the food.
Although he’s not a galgo, I’m including the story of Hallo, as he has been saved by a friend of Marisa’s.
Marisa continues his story.
Hallo is a really difficult case in Spain. He was found by a friend of mine in the centre of Seville last Halloween, jumping above the cars in a really big avenue.
She got him into the car and went home. Hallo was really frightened. The days passed and Hallo never lost the fear.
Marisa’s Story: I’m a volunteer with Sofía El Refugio Escuela, in Seville. Since I was a little child I have had a special love for animals.
Since the moment I’ve been able to help them actively, I started helping at a temporary dogs home and after that I found Sofía, and so I help also as a volunteer in the refuge.
