  • Galgo Titan making good progress with Animal Rescue Spain

    Animal Rescue Espana Titan 400 1 1 2021
    Do you remember this appeal. Here’s the latest good news about Titan.

    ‘Titan is reborn again, thanks to you who have helped us, thanks to your response. Titan was just another greyhound, abandoned, run over and pulled until some good hearted girls stopped in the middle of the gutter and contacted us. Yesterday he had surgery again and everything went well, so far he will remain in.

    We’ve done for Titan what any dog deserves. Sometimes we are told that we do too much for a dog that belongs to nobody but life is above all else for us and we are unstoppable together with you. Excited we call you. THANK YOU

    Thanks to you who help us, we make this moment possible.

  • Happy New Year to all my readers

    Happy-New-Year-Dog words 400
    Happy New Year to you all.

    Let’s hope the nightmare of 2020 and the virus will not be repeated in 2021 and that we may soon return to ‘normality’. For our beloved hounds, nothing much has changed. Some dogs were adopted to help people through isolation, hopefully they will stay there for their natural lives, knowing comfort, a full belly and lots of love.

    Thank you for reading my blog and for supporting the appeals for help which I receive from shelters and associations. It still saddens me and makes me angry over the attitude of the hunters that their dogs are simply tools to be disposed of when they are no longer of use.

  • Ann’s Canine Care, Malaga – another needy soul saved from the Spanish hunter

    Ann MP Precious 1 400 1 12 2020
    From Ann Marie Payne of Ann’s Canine Care

    ‘Preziosa (Precious) has arrived directly from a galguero, very scared, skinny, her body covered in wounds old and new, and hungry. So scared she had to be carried from crate to crate. In fact we had to carry her in the crate to the house. My intention was to bring her into the bedroom with me, but decided to leave her in the crate overnight where she felt safe.

    She had some raw chicken for dinner which she loved, and even took some from my hand. Then shortly after she had some rice and fresh vegetables, she loved that also. After maybe half an hour or so her body language began to change, she softened her outline and stretched out. Then she curled up and went to sleep. She’s 5 years old, and very sweet natured, even when scared she’s submissive rather than aggressive. She will make a lovely loyal pet I’m sure.

    From Rocio Castillo Gonzalez

    ‘Glory, a mix galga-podenca, Small-medium size (12 kg)

    One year she has been at the Podencos Y Mas -Malaga- shelter, this princess is waiting for you to look at such a beauty. She’s our top model… but still no one has given her a chance yet.

    She’s 2 years old and was rescued at just 1 years old from a Noe syndrome in Huelva. Came in a lot of fear and full of bugs outside and inside.

    Now she’s a cute doll, healthy and full of love and happiness to give whoever is lucky enough to give her a good home.
    Can you help us so Gloria can write her happy ending?

    It’s time for you, isn’t it, Glory?
