  • Galgo/Podenco Tango – stunning hound waiting for his forever home

    Just look at Tango, a galgo/podenco X in Lanzarote. He’s a star in obedience classes, could go on to agility. Only a young boy with years of life and love to give to that special person who will take him into their home and heart.

    He is a fabulous dog – attentive, intelligent and above all really loving. He will melt you with his beautiful eyes. He is 6 years old and has been waiting patiently for his forever sofa for no particular reason. He has attended basic training and did incredibly well. He is in Lanzarote with The Kennel Klub but we will arrange transport for the right home.

  • From a life of Hell in Murcia, Spain – to a live of love in Canada

    Viv Charley drops kennel 250 4 2015From Viv Wharton, founder of ACTIN in Murcia.

    From the horror they were kept in to utter love and kindness Charlyedrops and Seda, soon to travel to Canada form the loving care of Charlotte del Rio to the loving arms of Sandra Deakin.

    We couldn’t rescue from situations like this without the support of other great rescue associations helping by taking the animals for us and your donations and support for the ones we keep in our care until adoption…our work never stops.

    Two weeks ago (mid March 2015)we rescued 50 animals from a bad situation and are unable to ask for donations because we cannot report the full story in order to protect people and animals, but the work goes on behind the scenes and we value your help….

    Donate to ACTIN here.
