Hellin Perrera, Albacete – galgos taken to Italy?
On the appeal for help for galgos in Hellin Perrera, there is now a comment that it is suspected that galgos are being bought from there and transported to Italy for breeding. I have asked the commentator to give me more information. Does anyone else know of galgos being bought straight out of perreras and taken elsewhere in Europe for breeding?
I am aware that trafficking does go on, but don’t have any more information.

Spanish holidays in Seville and Cadiz – not for the galgos?
Appeals on behalf of two galgo puppies – one starving and sick – two galgas in Jerez killing station (one about to give birth), and one needing a space somewhere – refuge, foster…..
Black galga needing somewhere to stay, shelter, foster, near a block of flats in Seville.
macu19782010@hotmail.comMilagros is another poor victim of human selfishness, rescued from the worst of hells; Was a victim of the famous beggar that keeps puppies constantly locked in a dirty little carrier. We believe that the suffering of Milagritos ended the day we rescued him. But little did we know what was in store for him.

Stolen galgo, anyone going into Olivenza perrera, Badajoz?
URGENT PLEASE.! IF SOMEONE IS GOING TO KENNELS (OLIVENZA) PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO.
This galgo, called Mory,is one year old and was stolen on 18th February in Almendralejo, Badajoz. Its owners are still desperately trying to find it. This is the only photo we have, but as identification, there is a scar as small as a grain of rice hetween its eyes. The owners are heartbroken. Please, if anyone is going into the Olivenza Perrera, have a look at the galgos.
CONTACTO: 692742994
EMAIL. animalista2010@gmail.comJust a question – why the hell wasn’t the dog microchipped, if the owner cared so much about it! Finding a black galgo in Spain?!!

On death row in Hellin Perrera, Albacete – anyone able to help?
More galgos in the Hellin perrera in Albacete. Due to be euthanaised on 10th June. There are dozens of other dogs too, and puppies galore….when will Spain take action to stop this stupidity and enforce controlled breeding and educate people to be responsible for their pets? And it’s not only Spain but the whole of Europe who perpetrate the problem.

Spanish Guardia Civil – law enforcers? What a joke!
One of the things which I find really frustrating is how much back biting goes on between refuges and associations, whether in Spain, Belgium, France…… At the end of the day, for me, it is about the dogs, who cares who is ‘president’ of which association, who runs what refuge so long as it complies with GEE. For goodness sake, it’s about the animals, not about people and politics….
I was in a car park in Spain and where a little puppy, probably about 5 months old, looked like a x poodle, was wandering around loose. I went to take it up when a couple of young Spanish restrained me. It was their puppy, they said. As I don’t speak Spanish, I was unable to answer them as I would have liked to. I dread to think of how it ended up…certainly not microchipped, vaccinated and in a loving family home….more likely in a shelter, if it hadn’t been killed by a lorry driving into the car park.
