The sad fate of hundreds of galgos now that hunting in Spain has finished for the season. Hopefully someone will help this sweet soul.
This is JARA, she’s six years old and desperately needs a foster home. She was abandoned on a road and taken to Elda protectora (perrera), but she risks being put to sleep.

URGENT APPEAL for donations for Scalibor collars
Animal lovers the summer months are approaching and it’s very important to protect dogs from the sandfly that causes Leishmaniosis. Every year, unfortunately, too many dogs adopted from Spain die abroad due to ignorance, poor information, wrong diagnosis, not the right treatment… So preventing infection with the Leishmania parasite is very important. Contrary to what is often said, Leishmaniosis cannot be cured, in other words your dog will have it for the rest of his or her life. Fortunately, with proper treatment and medication, the infection can be kept under control. Regular blood tests are also recommended, that way your four-legged friend can also grow old like other dogs. We protect dogs during and before the summer months with a collar combined with a pippet. A vaccination is also possible, it’s quite expensive and studies have currently not been able to show whether this vaccination gives sufficient security. (more…)

PACMA – working for the animals of Spain
Thinking of all the Spanish rescue shelters in Andalucia during the terrible Storm Leonardo and praying none of them are flooded out or suffer damage. This from PACMA – Partido Animalista.
We’re writing to you today at a particularly worrying time. Given the adverse weather forecast for Andalusia, we at PACMA have had to do what no other political force is doing: demand the activation of an emergency plan that includes animals.
While the authorities are preparing (and rightly so) to protect people and infrastructure, animals remain absent from official protocols.
Overcrowded shelters, volunteers without resources, animals dependent on humans completely exposed to the cold, heavy rain, or potential flooding. This is the reality that keeps repeating itself, and from which we never seem to learn. (more…)
