Mairena perrera – more cheap accommodation in Spain!
The Mairena perrera rears its ugly head again. Podencos and galgos amongst the poor souls dumped there to be killed, even a puppy, also a black and white spaniel; living in horrendous conditions. It’s cold, wet, dirty – they are starving – why feed a dog when it’s going to be killed! Cry for these poor souls. If any one can help save them from a miserable death.

Cheap accommodation in Spain, book into a perrera!
Gesser is another perrera in Jerez, southern Spain. It is built for 70 dogs but there are 190 there, mostly they will be killed. Amongst the dogs were 35 galgos taken there by the hunters. Pro-Galgo reports on their German website that 80 dogs were saved by various associations both in Spain and abroad. This is a basic translation.

Seville, galgos in terrible conditions – please help
Please can any associations help this brave lady? Here’s the appeal I received.
CAN YOU HELP SAVE THESE GALGOS, PLEASE?
These galgos are in a shanty town in Sevilla. For two years Inmaculada has been rehoming them little by little. She doesn’t have photos of them all as the people become very angry and won’t allow her in the place. There were eight females, seven males and six mixed breed.

Publicity for Podencos – help and forever homes wanted
For many years Rick and Lesley Beauchamp in the UK have been helping rehomed podencos rescued by SARA Lanzarote; virtually the only chance of a loving forever home is on mainland Europe. Thanks to Ed of Podencoworld for forwarding this clip of a BBC interview with Lesley. Please contact Ed or SARA Lanzarote if you are interested in helping these fabulous hounds.

Murcia perrera – Baas Galgo save 6 galgos from death row
Good news for 6 galgos which were on death row in the municipal perrera in Murcia. Baas Galgo to the rescue. Here’s a link to the story in Spanish; English translation below.
‘Galgos are key to the success of a hunt, but many of them are killed or abandoned by their owners when hunting season ends. Rescue Associations claim that animals have become a disposable tool. Many were hung from a tree after a hunt, others are thrown into a well or wounded by a shot as punishment if the hunt has not been successful, and only the best are left in the field.

Seville, City of Shame, behind the glitter – who’s starving in the winter sun
I wept when I received this story. 4 galgos,abandoned, starving and barely able to stand. A woman is leaving food and water but she can’t take them in, please can anyone help. Here’s the appeal I received (Google translation!)
A few days ago a woman called me crying, 4 dogs skeletal and more dead than alive. I went to see and do photos, and what I found on arrival was eerie. They are two males and two females. Of the males, one is very sweet and young, have white teeth, and let me pet him about looking for love. not too thin, and hits all the food (normal if starved), but it’s a terrific galgo and loves petting.

Liberty – 2 broken back legs, can you offer a foster home urgently?
Sometimes the sheer stupidity of some people is unbelievable. You don’t have to be a hunter to be cruel, as this story shows. This galgo was rescued over Xmas by a woman who lives in a 3rd floor apartment in Benalmadena. Last week she went out and left a window ajar. The galgo pushed open the window, got onto the balcony and jumped!
The galgo has been operated on by a hospital in Benalmadena, he has staples inside the leg and stitches outside. He has a hole left for drainage of liquid. He fell to the ground. The neighbour saw the dog, called the girl and he was eventually taken to the vet. The diagnosis is
