    From Galgos en Familia

    ‘Today we are going to talk to you about Orla.

    Orla is a 7-year-old Galgo female, she was rescued by our colleagues from Siempre Contigo en Rota, there the owner took them, with a clear message: “o las cogéis or las quito de enmedio”, yes, of course. (You take her or I’ll get rid of her’).

    Orla’s life hasn’t been easy, her scars and the state of her body, tell us that she knows pain well and what it’s like to give birth in every heat.

    Luckily all that is now behind and Orla has started a new life, a life in which there is affection, care and respect. Orla is a very grateful girl, close, caring and quiet, she still must adapt to city life, traffic, noise, etc…but we know little by little she will get it.

    JUST LOOKING FOR A HOME

    KUN was rescued from an almost certain death. He was running down the road, was going to take the bridge, and thanks to the collaboration of some people with big hearts they managed to catch him and take him to safety. Thanks for no doubt putting yourself in danger to save his life you have been angels.

    KUN is a tall greyhound, strong and with incredible sympathy, he’s always wishing for a good dose of caressing and has lots of love to give, he’s wishing to be the king of a good, dry bed.

    KUN is about 4 years old, will be delivered neutered, vaccinated and chip and an adoption contract.

  • Protests on Gran Canaria to support the hunting dogs

    FAUDA – Federation of United Associations for the Defence of Animals – on Gran Canaria recently supported the Campaign against hunting dogs being exclused from the Animal Protection Act.

    Susana Griso joins the campaign so that hunting dogs are not excluded from the Animal Protection Act. It is unacceptable that dogs who are the most vulnerable are left out of the law that should protect them.

  • Flooded shelter in Gran Canaria

    We don’t think of torrential rain in the Canary Islands, it being so close to Africa. But this is a recent appeal from the ADA shelter. Luckily some local people came forward and offered to help with cleaning, painting etc.

    ‘We did our best but with the torrential rains of these days, our shelter unfortunately suffered some damage. We need help from anyone who wants to collaborate, in any way you want! Donations of financial or material, labor, companies that want to help collaborate, foster homes… any help will be appreciated, anything so that our Gonzo doesn’t get wet again if it rains!

  • Galgos & Podencos – house dog, hunting dog? No difference! Sign the petition

    De casa De caze 400 9 2022
    A house dog…. A hunting dog. Spot the difference?! ALL dogs need legal protection.

    The Spanish government wants to exclude hunting dogs from the new animal protection laws.
    Please speak out for the abused hunting dogs of Spain. They are the very same dogs as pet dogs! The same sentient beings who deserve to be cared for and who have rights to a good life. They need to be protected by the same laws.

    Same Dogs. Same Law.

    #MismosPerrosMismaLey

    Find the 7 differences! If you don’t see any, it’s because THERE ARE NONE.

    Let it be heard loud and clear: SAME DOGS, SAME LAW. It couldn’t be more obvious!
