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.

Floods in Cordoba – Nightmare for animal refuges!
Message from Sandra Baas of Baas Galgo (website offline at the moment due to a bloody hacker!)
Dear Friends
I never thought that I would have to write to you in this way, but we are so desperate and we so badly need your help; that we have no other choice.
Last Wednesday, May 18th, a terrible flood completely destroyed the BaasGalgo shelter in Villa del Rio in southern Spain. Consequently, 100 Galgos who were in the refuge have been left without anywhere to live. All the facilities have been destroyed by the flooding. The situation is extremely serious. We can without exaggeration say that we lost absolutely everything!

Cordoba galga & puppies living under a motorway – help needed
This appeal has come in from El Arca de Noe in Cordoba, they don’t have anywhere to put this galga and her puppies. Here’s the story, can anyone help?
This case is very urgent and please help! This is a mama galga with several puppies, she delivered along a highway! There is little food so a villager in a neighborhood has managed to put a bit down. But Mommy has to go find more food, and puppies are left, and now 4 of them who crossed the road to follow her have been hit and killed.

Galgo Bracken – my latest foster dog, looking for his forever family
This beautiful boy is Bracken. He was rescued earlier this year, waiting outside a supermarket with a badly injured front leg – the bone was sticking out. Even though he must have been in awful pain, he was still gentle and affectionate to those who took him in their loving care and back to a place of safety. The refuge vet operated on him and he was placed in foster car whilst his injury healed.
A couple of weeks ago he came to join my canine family at my home in France. He had been reserved by a lady in the UK but circumstances have changed and she can no longer take him. So he is now looking again for his forever home.
