  • Candy Cane Rescue International

    Candy Cane Xmas box 400 11 2023
    Candy’s Hound Rescue International is a rescue that was set up 6 years ago to help Greyhounds from the dog meat trade in China.

    Our founder Kerry, who runs a UK based Greyhound rescue, (Greyhound Protection UK) was made aware of ex Racing greyhounds being exported to mainland China 🇨🇳 for breeding. A whole can of worms was then opened.

    After being laughed at and dismissed about the fact Greyhounds were in the dog meat trade, Kerry did in fact find many many Greyhounds and sighthounds in the dog meat trade. Many were from Ireland and England.

    After then reaching out to Doe Doe, a Chinese lady working to help the dogs, a friendship was built.
    First, Kerry started taking hounds under the UK rescue, but when a whippet cross named Candy was due to travel to the UK was killed in kennels the night before her flight, Kerry decided she wanted to do more.

  • Galgos 112 rescue 2 galgos from a reservoir

    Galgos 112 Leo110 2023 400
    2 starving galgos luckily rescued by volunteers with Galgos 112. Here’s the story.

    ‘Look at the state in which these two puppies were rescued in a watering raft, damn rafts with no exit ramps where hundreds of animals die.

    To our little ones we do not know if they were thrown in or fell looking for water. What we do know is that if they had not been rescued, today they would be dead.

    And abdolutely nothing would happen either to change things in Spain, two deaths more to add to the thousands of deaths that matter very little or nothing to the government and certain sectors of this society.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria catching an injured galgo

    FromSandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    This is Milagro who we caught a few days ago, with a badly injured leg.

    This sweet girl has already had to endure so much in her life. Unfortunately, the traumatologist was unable to perform the full surgical procedure. During the surgery, he discovered something that made placing a plate impossible at this time. A special longer plate is going to have to be designed for Milagro so that the whole area can be fully protected and recover properly. Yesterday, a tendon was ruptured so her leg is back straight. Medication has been prescribed and the bandage should be changed in a week.

    New traumatologist appointment in 2 weeks. For a full recovery for the next few months, Milagro will be taken care of in a home environment.

    You can support our dogs for 1€ a month by joining our teaming group. Please help, as the vet fees will be expensive.

  • Network for Animals & Galgos del Sur – saving 32 Cordoba galgos

    From Network for Animals

    The shockingly cruel treatment of Spanish greyhounds (Galgos) must be stopped in Spain. Will you stand with us today?

    The sport hunting industry is full of cruel practices and a callous disregard for animal welfare.

    We offer a glimmer of hope and relief to these terrified, injured and stressed animals.
    32 hunting dogs were rescued from a nightmarish existence in a decrepit farmhouse. Many others like them desperately need your help. Chained, starving, and wounded, they have endured unspeakable suffering in appalling conditions.

    We’re partnering with Galgos de Sur, a dedicated organization committed to confiscating, protecting, rehabilitating, and finding good forever homes for these abused hunting dogs. We are asking for your compassion today. Please support our crucial mission and help us end this disgraceful behaviour.

  • Protectora Scooby – please help feed our animals

    Horses donkeys hay 400
    From Scooby Protectora.

    Last year, climatologically speaking, was very bad for our sanctuary residents, and this year is coming just as or even worse…
    The forage is scarce and we are having to buy a lot of thought to elders to keep our animals well fed, assuming this a great economic discharge.
    We have sown alfalfa and we are hoarding and taking advantage of all that we can, but this is not enough for the 50 horses and donkeys and the 46 sheep and goats who live in our Sanctuary, so we ask help for them, so they can have the happy life that they deserve.
    Any contribution will be more than welcome.
