  • Molly The Pet Detective

    The Pet Detectives 400
    I want to share with you an amazing book I am currently reading. ‘Molly The Pet Detective’ by Colin Butcher is the story of a working cocker spaniel rescue dog which has been trained to find missing cats!

    Colin Butcher is a retired UK policeman who chose a project to see if a dog could be trained to find missing cats. It’s the story of how he researched the idea, the help he got from Medical Detection Dogs both in finding the right dog and training both her and himself.

    The book also tells the stories of missing cats Molly found, as well as missing dogs, the latter sadly a growing problem in the UK.

    If you have lost a pet or know anyone who has, you will know the pain and distress experienced. This weblink takes you to the website for The Pet Detectives. Please support them.

    1 Podcast – Saving galgos with Carlota112

    Today we launch the first episode of our podcast.

    In this conversation, I talk with Carlota from 112CarlotaGalgos, a shelter in Malaga, Spain, full of love, understanding, and friends. This content is free, but you will have to subscribe to https://www.moonleaks.org/podcast-1/ to listen to it, that is the best way to protect the opinions of those working within activist groups as social media can be really hard to those that dare to talk. Thanks, Carlota, and thanks to all of you who sent questions too, I hope we could answer some of them.

  • Help the Galgos of Brazil – sign the petition

    Brazil stop Galgueros petition 400
    On March 13, 2019, Bill # pl1441de2019 was filed with the Federal Chamber of Deputies, which “prohibits competitive races with dogs or similar activities of the same nature throughout the national territory” ’

    This means one of the most significant advances in animal protection, and the ONLY one to date for GALGOS.

    We are very grateful to Ricardo Izar, Weliton Prado and Frank Alarcón who welcomed the anguished pleas of greyhounds and greyhounds that are cruelly exploited by the galgueiros in their speed to obtain a cash profit.

    Until today, no one was fighting for a law to prohibit barbarism resulting from what “running dog owners” called sports for “athletes by nature”.

    They, the galgueiros, are not disturbed when they put muzzles on the females, hold them between 03 or 04, up to five men, and commit acts of rape with a male dog that they call a breeder.

    From Scooby. Look at these beauties, rough haired galgas, not so common.

    These two little girls have been left by their owner in the shelter. For serious health reasons, he could no longer take care of them.

    Of course they are still a little scared, but they are both very good, sociable and loving ☺️.

    Does anyone want to give them a home?

  • Galga Dora in adoption with Black Galgo – give an oldie a chance

    Black Galgo Dora 400 5 2021
    This sweet galga deserves to spend the rest of her life knowing a comfy bed, loving caresses and good food every day.

    DORA IN ADOPTION

    Over 10 years Dora had to wait to regain her freedom, life and know love. 10 years with a story of brutality, like so many other grandmothers forced to breed year after year…

    Dora is sweet, serene, elegant, will live happily with other dogs, walks perfectly and is healthy…Her only flaw? having arrived late in the world of the living… she has come to us at almost 10 years old.

    We are all a little selfish in love, who would surrender their heart to someone who by law of life will not accompany you many years? We’re looking for that person who wants to fall in love with Dora, the years she has left without thinking about how many but how happy they will be.

  • Walking dogs off lead

    Do not allow dogs off leads 400

    OH and Bracken were lucky this morning. They had just got back to the car after a lovely walk along the river bank when a BMW 4×4 pulled up with 3 boisterous dogs inside. Luckily the owner didn’t let them out until OH had put Bracken in the car, whereupon she opened the tailgate and the 3 dogs flew out leaping around. Bracken isn’t very friendly towards other dogs now, so it could have been an unpleasant situation! Having said that, their owner should train them to wait in the car till she gives permission to leave, it’s what we do with our dogs.
