  • El Refugio de Brown in Badajoz, Extramadura – desperately needing help – donations, fosters, adoptions

    A desperate appeal from Lidia Martinez of El Refugio de Brown in Badajoz, Extramadura, a terrible region for hunting dogs.

    ‘I introduce myself I am Lidia Martinez and I am a teamer and collaborator of El Refugio de Brown in Zafra Badajoz, her situation is very hard,there are only two people managing more than 100 animals, at a cost monthly of € 2,000 or more in veterinary and residency expenses. They do not have their own premises, as the city council evicted them from its facilities and also residencia, where we take many animals from the perreras from Extremadura and Andalucia.

    Please we ask you to value the possibility of being part of these groups with all support, since all help is fundamental and donations and help is desperately needed.

    I leave you the link to their website so you can know them a little more and the links of their two groups.

  • Galgo Moro – turning a badly injured galgo into a stunning Black Prince

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    ‘On 11 February, this boy, Moro, was freed from his predicament. This boy was so battered, damaged both physically and mentally, and yet he still had the strength to fight. Now barely two months later, we see a very different Moro.

    This boy has become a beautiful black pearl. This was possible thanks to your support, help, compassion….. and in particular our host family. Thank you fosterers Raymond Faber & Ilse for the good care and for fighting together.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – injured galgo and podenco

    From FBM

    Chincheta may lose her paw…

    Until when? When will the mistreatment of these innocent beings stop?

    A few days ago we were asked for help for her. Her story? The same as always: her former owner didn’t want her anymore and urgently wanted to get rid of her. We are up to our ears, with still almost 600 animals in the centre. With the bills of Buda, Simeon, Pipa and many other hospital patients still to be paid. But it was impossible to see her picture, her eyes and her gaze to say no….

    Chincheta has arrived this very morning to our centre and our vets were surprised to see the fracture of her paw, because it is old and already ossified and however, Chincheta is a young dog, so she must have broken her paw when she was still a puppy and never had any medical attention…

    Now our vets are faced with the usual problem: try to save her paw with surgery and months of rehabilitation, or take the hard decision to amputate if there is no solution. We are waiting for the assessment of our trusted traumatologist. Hopefully there are possibilities for her… Help us save Chincheta

    Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.

    Human cruelty will never cease to amaze us.

    We have just received this beauty in the state you see. We don’t know how she is able to stand, she is just bones. We will call her MALALA because she is a great fighter and we will get her to pull through.

    MALALA will of course not be in adoption until she is recovered, we will keep you updated on her progress.

    These are the dogs that the new animal welfare law leaves desolate.

    To donate to her care, feed, vet fees, PAYPAL: puntanimals@hotmail.com

  • Galgos 112 to the rescue of an injured galga

    Galgps 112 400 1 2023
    Galgos 112 picked up this poor injured galgo at the beginning of the week. They are looking for an urgent foster for him in the Girona area.

    ‘This is Mar, picked up in this state in a town of Jaén, no chip but with an injury on the right knee and tendon. By having an open wound it is infected. She needs surgery asap so the tendon doesn’t retract and we can save that paw. To be able to operate it we need a foster home in Girona or as close as possible. Foster homes are urgently needed for injured galgos to recover from operations.

    If you are in Span and can foster, please don’t hesitate and send your details and phone number to info@galgos112.com and we will get back to you quickly.

    The association takes care of all veterinary expenses and transportation of the foster dogs. Operation Mar is going to pay off with the help of all of you. We’re counting on you!

    In addition to our usual daily tasks, we now have days of cleaning up debris. A solution will also have to be found for the storage space.
