Pam McLeod is joining the Kilt Walk next month raising funds to help yet more galgos and podencos make their way to the UK and forever homes. It’s almost a year ago when Pam very kindly responded to my plea for help for a young podenco badly injured on the roadside. Wilf made an excellent recovery and travelled to the UK and his forever home.
Please sponsor Pam, she’s been training hard for the 23km walk.

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.

On December 7, 2022, our help was asked to take in 3 galgos. Grace was one of them. Grace is a treasure, when she was found she was malnourished and dehydrated. We asked our host family if she could be taken care of with them for a while until she was stable enough to stay in a large pack. It soon became clear that Grace was a worry child and has to deal with heart problems (heart murmur). The first cardiogram showed a defect in one of the heart chambers. Medication was prescribed and another check-up was scheduled.
Grace recently had another appointment with the cardiologist, unfortunately not good news, the condition of her heart has not improved and she has to take additional medicines ( Cardalis, Furosemide )
The cardiogram shows some fluid in the chest. Thank you Marcia for assisting Grace at the cardiologist.

El Refugio de Leo is a non-profit association registered in the Registry of Associations of the Junta de Andalucía. Most of the people who care for it are volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to help and care for abandoned and mistreated animals in the Axarquia.
The animals we have stay with us until they find a home.
Our Mission is to welcome them, give them shelter and basic care such as food and hygiene, veterinary care, affection and prepare them for a second chance.
Leo’s Refuge survives thanks to membership fees, donations, sponsors and events organized by our volunteers.
We invite you to browse our website, get to know us and our animals and help us in any way you can.
El Refugio de Leo are now running a fundraiser. Here’s what they say about it.
This is the story of Puntanimals Shelter in Umbria, yet another area bad for hunting dogs. (This stunner is Esperanza)
‘https://www.puntanimals.org/nuestra-historia/
Puntanimals is a non-profit association created to help abandoned and mistreated animals. The idea was born from the hands of a fighter, animal lover who wanted his dream of helping those most in need to come true. We are located in the town of Punta Umbría (Huelva). Since before having the shelter, we already collected the animals that we found and we looked for a home where they were safe and had their needs covered. Officially we have been operating since 2011, it was when we decided to rent a place to be able to protect all the animals while we look for a definitive and responsible adoption for them.
All the details for the 2024 calendar competition are on this weblink.
Sick and wounded galga safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria.
Sandy says ‘Another one who needs extra care and attention. Because of the heat and to keep the flies away from the wounds, she will stay with us in our house.
Help and support needed please.
Many times we take in galgos who need extra and special care. For them, a quieter environment is necessary to recover optimally.
A new project is to build a new large kennel away from the main building besides the house. Hopefully we can realise our plans soon.
This is a weblink to the hundreds of dogs in Protectora Scooby shelters in Medina del Campo, Valladolid, Zamorra and Palencia. There are dozens of galgos in there.
The main purpose of this post is a) to illustrate just how many dogs are in the Scooby shelters hoping for forever homes and b) to appeal for help to fund them all. This isn’t counting all the horses, donkeys, cats, poultry, goats, cows…all rescued by Scooby and needing food and medication.
Please help, even if it’s just to join Teaming please help.

This girl was spotted along and in the middle of the motorway towards Los Lobos. A girl, Cristina Parra Sánchez, did not hesitate to stop the cars on this busy highway and try to save this poor soul. With a lot of patience she managed to gain her trust and was able to get her to safety. We picked her up and took her to the vet for a first checkup. Blood was immediately taken to test her for the most common Mediterranean diseases. The result was negative for Dirofilaria & Leishmania, unfortunately she tested positive for Erlichia (heartwork) & Anaplasma. We immediately started a course of doxycycline for 28 days. This beautiful girl, we named her Cristina after her saving Angel, is estimated to be 4 years old.
Her body shows many scars but she isn’t emaciated, she must have been dumped not very long ago. ortunately, this is all a thing of the past, and she can look forward to a new and better future.
We would like to thank Helping Animals Almanzora for helping Cristina with the medical expenses.

If you haven’t room in your home to adopt anymore deserving animals, why not try Virtual Adoption. Virtual Adoption is where a person or organisation supports an animal in a shelter rather than taking them into their own home. Scooby Medina has animals which they would love finanaia help with their feeding and care.
There are lots of animals to choose from, including:
Granny – an oldie
Donja – has only one ear
Zuki – had gangrene before arriving at the shelter and lost both of her back paws;
Paris – the gentle giant and an old faithful
Alba the albino horse is there with
Cayenne y Pepper, the donkeys and Axel & Robin our new goats. All overseen by Blackie the head
of the cats in our cattery!
