Why have a dog?
Can you imagine the bad luck this poor boy has had in his 2 year life?! Angie Robinson tells his story.
‘This is POST. We’ve seen him before in the Valencia perrera municipal….. He was found wandering last year and picked up by the dog catchers, and then later retrieved by the owner. He was found again, last week, wandering alone with a broken chain still around his neck where he had broken free. We understand that he was kept on a plot of land chained up, living outside. This time, the owner has signed him over with permission to sacrifice. POST is CESE – this means that when a kill list is drawn up, the CESE dogs that are entered by owner will be at the top of the sacrifice list.

Galga Kira – victim of a hit and run – please help with the vet bill
This is a story which could happen to any of us. Lynn Pauloudros does a lot of work helping galgos and podencos from her home in France. She now finds herself – through no fault of her own nor that of her galga – with a huge vet bill. She is running an auction on facebook to raise funds to pay for the treatment for her galga, but I am appealing here for help for her too. Please, if you can help, donate to her here.
Lynn explains. ‘I rescued Kira from Olivenza perrera, she is about 7-8 years old. She had to be operated on when I got her in 2014 because she had been shot with a shotgun and the wound never healed. There was a pocked of pus under her muscles and half her tail had to be amputated. She also only has 3 toes on a front foot.

Victims of the thunderstorms hitting southern Spain – seeking refuge at Pepis
Horrendous storms battering Andalucia this week, including Pepis Dog Refuge. These are the latest arrivals at the gate, Jane Brian tells the story.
‘1/11/2015 – This may be an unusual combination but these two seemed to have teamed up together to keep each other warm due to the heavy rain and thunderstorms we had last night, it was one hell of a storm. We found them soaked and looking very sad and gave no resistance to being helped. Both females and so lovely. Drove them back to the refuge, dried them off and gave them a meal. They are now in a pen with soft bedding to warm them, safe and cosy from the rest of the bad weather we have forecast.

No words to describe how this poor innocent soul must have suffered….curses on the hunter who abandoned him, the people who hit him with their vehicles, the people who drove by and did not stop to help him. RIP sweet soul.

Tombola draw results – raising funds for Pepis Dog Refuge
Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for my tombola raising funds for Pepis Dog Refuge. A disappointing response, only 36 tickets sold – 180 euros – so thank you again to those of you who took part. I donated all but one of the prizes – Pat King kindly donated the pet portrait, so I’m afraid I’ll have to ask winners to pay postage. Here are the results, my friend Jenny Robinson picked the numbers to place on the prizes. Photos below, plus postage – which please paypal to me band@bbrennan.eu and I’ll confirm when the prize is on its way.
