  • No Voice, No Choice – 6th August, Surrey – stand needed for galgo & podenco publicity

    NovoiceNoChoiceposterfinal[1] 190 Here’s news from Maria Daines, fantastic singer/songwriter and marvellous supporter of animals in need. If anyone is willing to organise a Galgo/Podenco publicity stand, please get in touch, maybe we can put volunteers in touch with each other through Galgo News and Podenco Post. The Galgos and Podencos need you to help.

    ‘We’ve been really busy working on the DDAWatch/Company of Animals ‘No Voice No Choice’ event coming up on August 6th in Surrey. I thought I’d better catch up with you all and invite you to have a stall (rescue and good causes can book a place for free) and if you can’t hold a stall on the day you’re most welcome to attend with or without your dogs, it’s also free entry to the public with plenty of car parking.

  • Voice for the Voiceless – Galga Savia – please help the animals

    Arca de No Savi_6 04 2011 190 This is Savia – she is blind! She was found by a Spanish girl and was living in a field near to the old mineworks on the outskirts of Mazarron. Noah’s Arc went to the field where they eventually found SAVIA laying in the sun. When they got near her she
    immediately got up and they could see that she had cataracts on both eyes.
    Unfortunately when they tried to put a collar and lead on her she took flight. One hour later they managed to catch her.

  • Greyhounds to China move forward – greys need your help urgently now!

    Letters and Emails needed urgently.

    To reply to this message, either click Reply or send your e-mail to info@greyhoundaction.org.uk
    Please read and act on the important message below from Greyhound Action
    Ireland

    Many people involved in welfare and who are greyhound “owners” have been
    sending emails and letters to the Irish government to oppose the idea of
    sending greyhounds to China, and there have also been demonstrations at
    Irish embassies in several countries. This has had some affect on the
    Department of Agriculture, which very recently received a formal proposal
    from the Irish Greyhound Board to consider the China project.
