Floods in Cordoba – Nightmare for animal refuges!
Message from Sandra Baas of Baas Galgo (website offline at the moment due to a bloody hacker!)
Dear Friends
I never thought that I would have to write to you in this way, but we are so desperate and we so badly need your help; that we have no other choice.
Last Wednesday, May 18th, a terrible flood completely destroyed the BaasGalgo shelter in Villa del Rio in southern Spain. Consequently, 100 Galgos who were in the refuge have been left without anywhere to live. All the facilities have been destroyed by the flooding. The situation is extremely serious. We can without exaggeration say that we lost absolutely everything!
