Another galgo left tied to the gates of Pepis Dog Refuge yesterday, before Jane and Alan could get to it, it had chewed through the twine tying it and run off into the campo. The last time this happened, the gamekeeper in charge of keeping rabbits alive for the galgueros to hunt and kill shot the galgo, not killing it outright. It died in Jane’s arms. Pray that the food and water they have left out will attract the frightened galgo back and they can catch it. @that makes 4 galgos left there in one week!

More galgos dumped at Pepis Dog Refuge
A couple of weeks ago a galga was dumped at the gates of Pepis in a poor condition. (see pix below) Her wounds have been treated but the result of her blood tests are not yet back. The following week a couple of tiny puppies were left at the gates, this week 3 galgos have been left tied up there! This on top of the dozens of other dogs at the refuge, including a couple of dozen galgos. The Refuge relies totally on your help, please donate if you can, to feed the galgos, buy scalibor collars.
On top of that, the pipework in the kitchen where the washing machine and sink live has now been damaged by continuous mud slides. Alan Brian couldn’t repair it, so a plumber has had to be called in. More expense. In the meantime, they are having to wash the dog blankets by hand!

SPCAI – helping Spanish galgos
Here is an appeal from SPCAI (which arrived in my mail Inbox) who, amongst supporting animals rescues around the world, are also helping the galgos in Spain. Last year they responded to an appeal from me for a grant for Pepis Dog refuge to pay for a concrete driveway from the lower refuge up to the Galgo centre. Before that, it was just mud and Jane and Alan had to manually carry or drag all supplies including water to the centre and their home.
The story here is about a galga rescued by SOS Galgos of Barcelona. It is also a story about the work SPCAI are doing to help the Spanish galgos.
Here are additional stories from SPCAI.
