More arrivals at Pepis Dog Refuge – galgos, podenco, puppies…never-ending
2 recent arrivals at Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera. We have named this beautiful galga we found chained to the Galgo Centre gates late at night Lara. She is doing very well, eating well, a relaxed and happy girl.
This Podenco Ibicenco (below)has been in a major trauma. We take it little step by little step and no matter how long it takes, she will come to us eventually, bless her.
And galga Tara has again been called upon to donate blood to a poor dog found shot on the campo, believed by kids with an air gun. Hoping to save his life.
The monthly food bill for the 80+ dogs is 800 euros, please donate or sponsor a dog so they can feed them all.

Tombola for Pepis Dog Refuge – lovely prizes, 5 euros/ticket!
Sadly some of the galgo puppies at Pepis Refuge have Parvo, 2 have died, the others are on drips and medication. On top of this, 5 more 3-week old puppies were pushed underneath the entrance gates one night, and another 3 pups left in a laundry bag!
The electric generator packed up last winter (2,500 euros) the galgo pups’ enclosure needs the special roofing to keep the dogs cool (1,300 euros), that’s all on top of the 700+ euros monthly food bill!
SO, we’re running a tombola….prizes below…buy lots of tickets! 100 tickets up for grabs, already nearly 50 sold!

Martin Usborne – The Story of the Spanish Hunting Dog – video taster
18 months ago I was contacted by a UK photographer who wanted to visit Spain and photograph the galgos for a book. I pointed him in the direction of people to contact and refuges to visit. It was part of his year out to help animals around the world, which you can read on this link.
His book is now in the pipeline for printing. Here is a video taster which he has launched to presell copies of the book in order to fund the publishing (expensive for such a quality book) and also to raise awareness of the plight of the galgos. Please watch the video and support Martin.

Galgo puppies at Pepis Dog Refuge
Hopefully you can view this short video of the galgo puppies at Pepis Dog Refuge. With the help of volunteer Chloe, Jane and Alan now have 2 new pens for the 18 puppies from the 2 galgas dumped on them earlier this year in late stages of pregnancy. All these puppies will need vaccinations and Pet Passports. Please donate if you can help.

Pepis Dog Refuge – all in a day’s work
Hope you can see this video of the kennels at Pepis. Jane and Alan arriving for feeding and cleaning duties, Thank you to Anpana who have helped enormously in the improvements to the kennels, including new roof and brick shelters for the dogs. Many of the galgos are going to Italy for rehoming, but there are over 50 other hounds including podencos who all need forever homes. And if you fancy a week’s ‘holiday’, Jane and Alan will be pleased to welcome you and your help!
