  • PACMA – raising funds for animal shelters on your Spanish tax return

    News from PACMA trying to raise funds for the animal shelters in Spain.

    ‘Can you imagine being able to check a box to help animals on your tax return?

    Well, it is not a dream, and from the Animalist Party we are fighting to make it a reality.

    This initiative could change the lives of tens of thousands of animals rescued by animal protection entities, who are going through real economic hardship to be able to support them.

    For this reason, the Animalist Party with the Environment (PACMA) has asked the first vice president and Minister of Finance of Castilla, María Jesús Montero, to include animal protection entities in the social purposes box of the Income Tax Declaration.

  • Galgo Senorito now with Galgo Rescue Almeria – a very sick galgo

    GRA Senorito 1 400
    From Galgo Rescue Almeria

    ‘ A few days ago we collected this galgo at Clínica Veterinaria Puerto De Mazarròn.

    In collaboration with Friends of Mazarrón Animals, this big boy, Señorito, can look forward to a new, different and better life.
    Unfortunately, he tested positive for both Dirofilaria and Leishmania, 2 of the toughest Mediterranean diseases. How much bad luck can you have.

    Both originate from a sting of an unsightly mosquito, but a sting with major consequences and if not treated eventually fatal. However, you can perfectly protect them against this with pipettes, collars or even a vaccination. But that costs some money and to hunters their dogs are not worth that to them.

  • Physiotherapy for your dog

    Several years ago when I adopted my galgo Polar from Pepis Refuge in Pedrera, I consulted a canine physio for treatment to his damaged hind knee joint. It was interesting to see that the work she did on him was very similar to that used by my physio on me when I injured my shoulder.

    ‘We have some beautiful perrigals and it’s amazing that they are still here at the shelter without anyone ever asking about them! They are brother and sister, very devoted to each other but no problem separating them either. Still pretty young, about 2 or 3 years old, very playful, great with other dogs and love people. They have all the good of galgos, just a little fatter. Their names are Dorotea, chip: 8428 and Gonzalo, chip: 9239. Adorable and need out of a kennel now!
