Levriers sans Frontiere – 30 more galgos waiting for forever homes.
Levriers sans Frontiere are an established French galgo (and podenco) rescue association whose team regularly travel down to Seville and bring rescued galgos back to France for rehoming. Here’s notice of 30 more who are now awaiting adoption. I post this as an example of how many galgos come into France every month with all the French rescue associations and why it is getting more difficult to home them. The associations do marvellous work but I fear it will get even more difficult to find homes for all the dogs year on year. Spain HAS to introduce control of breeding of hunting dogs.

Valladolid perrera – put a protectora in charge – sign the petition
Please everybody sign this petition that the perrera provincial from Valladolid, the one where Scooby takes all the galgos that enter, stops sacrificing dogs and that the license to take the abandoned dogs from that area will be given to a protectora who gives the dogs in adoption and NOT put them down, like Scooby for example…
If you sometimes wonder if petitions make a difference – rest assured they do. When printed off and handed in, they can sway a decision.

Pepis Dog Refuge – can you volunteer to help with the hounds?
And another appeal on behalf of Jane and Alan Brian at Pepis. If you are planning summer holidays, why not take a week and volunteer at the refuge.
COULD YOU HELP?
The main thing Jane and Alan need, almost as much as financial help, is volunteers. There is so much work still needs to be done at the refuge but while the dogs need taking care of day in day out, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do anything else. The Rio Seco hotel in Pedrera is €20 per night for a single room and €40 for a double. Alan will collect you from the hotel and drop you home in the afternoon. Jane will provide you with lunch. As someone who has taken dogs from the refuge, another problem is the dogs just don’t have enough time spent with them. Sadly at the moment this is unavoidable when Jane and Alan have 70+ dogs to clean out and feed each day between just the two of them. Just helping for a few days can make all the difference and I can assure you you won’t regret it. Jane and Alan are incredibly welcoming and each and every dog there loves the company of humans.❤ Please please please, if you are in a position to help, please consider it. Contact them here.

Christmas for a galgo
Yet another heartless bastard galguero…this poor galgo being dragged by its owner in Seville perrera, peeing on the floor the entire way, so scared. What did you do to displease your owner poor Galgo? Maybe you did nothing wrong but there is just no room for you anymore. You are innocent, you are loyal but it does not matter.
While we rightfully focus on the horrid cases of abuse and abandonment that fill the pages on the internet and their rescue, especially at this time of year, sadly the stark reality is that the vast, vast majority of Galgos and Podencos find this as their final fate. If they are not taken care of by the hand of their owner they will be dropped off, or in this case dragged, in to a perrera where most will find the needle as the final reward for their innocence.
The tip of the iceberg that we all see is tragically overwhelmed by the realities of the part underneath the surface.
