  • The sadness of a rescued galgo in Argentina

    Adopciones Rosario

    ‘He’s dying, he needs a family urgently because sadness is killing him.

    The story is long to tell it all, a protector of Casilda is moving and I joined (please help, the reviews do not add up and there is no time)

    He and his kennel mate were taken to a daycare, the black had trouble adjusting to other dogs and was reintegrated to the shelter.

    He was already tested and seen by the vet, no illnesses have been detected at the moment, it is clear that he can’t stay there and it is very important a place next to his partner ideally or by a full family to contain him while he is mourning.

    Stopped eating and he’s dying, he needs out asap. If you can help write to me 341 5501539

    I think this is in Argentina

  • e-collars being used on rescued hunting dogs in England!

    On 29th June I published an article on e-collars and why they should be banned in the UK – they are already banned in Europe. It has come to the notice of a Spanish rescue association in Valencia that an adopter in England is using an e-collar on a young rescued podenco to curb its prey drive! This is on the advice of an ‘animal behaviourist’! Of course the Podenco fraternity are up in arms and doing all they can to assist the rescue association to get the poor podenco away from these 2 women.

    This is the weblink to the story.

  • Galgos 112 – educating the young Spanish

    Galgos 112 school 1 400
    Many Spanish rescue associations visit schools to educate the young Spanish that animal cruelty and hunting is not acceptable.
    Galgos 112 recently supported a visit to a school where the children were introduced to 2 adopted galgos.

    ‘Jade and Fabiola, accompanied Mei and Pol to the Doctor Sobrequés school in Bescanó (Girona), to give a talk about animal abuse to all the boys and girls in the first grade.

    They talked about animal abuse in general and what galgos suffer in particular. Everything focused in a pedagogical way and, above all, putting a lot of emphasis on the good things that boys and girls can do to help animals.

  • e-collars – the strong case against their use – they should be banned in every country

    Ecollar 400

    Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends wrote this article with particular reference to Podencos but I am posting it here as it is believed by many organisations that there should be a blanket ban on their use on dogs.

    THE CASE AGAINST USING E-COLLARS ON PODENCOS !!

    In the last few days its has come to our attention within the podenco community of a trainer in the UK that claims it’s important to investigate responsible e-collar inclusion, to help protect all animals concerned whilst still letting the dog be what he is! that even a vet in the Canary Islands recommend this to the owner .

    This is the first of a couple of posts in which I will write addressing the issue of using “Electrical Training Aids ” something I would never do..

  • Loneliness Awareness Week 2024 – a furry friend can help

    This week is Loneliness Awareness Week. Those of us lucky enough to have hounds for company know how much they help with our day to day happiness, even when sick. Maybe the UK vets should remember this and reduce their diabolical vet fees, rather than force people to give up their four legged companion when they can’t afford expensive vet care.
