From a life of Hell in Murcia, Spain – to a live of love in Canada
From Viv Wharton, founder of ACTIN in Murcia.
From the horror they were kept in to utter love and kindness Charlyedrops and Seda, soon to travel to Canada form the loving care of Charlotte del Rio to the loving arms of Sandra Deakin.
We couldn’t rescue from situations like this without the support of other great rescue associations helping by taking the animals for us and your donations and support for the ones we keep in our care until adoption…our work never stops.
Two weeks ago (mid March 2015)we rescued 50 animals from a bad situation and are unable to ask for donations because we cannot report the full story in order to protect people and animals, but the work goes on behind the scenes and we value your help….
Donate to ACTIN here.

Galgos in Training – Seville olive groves
This video was taken by Luca, president of Anpana, the Italian galgo rescue association currently visiting Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera. He took this film on the drive down from the village to the refuge. The second half of the video is taken from Pepis. Check out the speed of the vehicle.
I witnessed similar ‘training’ when I was there, man on quad bike with 4 galgos. This was made illegal in Andalucia but a couple of years back the Junta rescinded the law.

Italian TV crew visit Pepis Dog Refuge, Seville – and also a galguero
Anpana is the Italian association which supports the galgos at Pepis Dog Refuge and rehomes them. An Italian tv crew also came to visit them, to film the dogs and also to visit a galguero to see how he keeps his dogs…you would be shocked that he should be proud to have people see it! They live chained to the wall in stone animal feed troughs in what is not quite a bunker! The videos of the visit are on facebook. If you are able to visit Pepis Refuge facebook page, you may be able to see the videos. Here is a weblink if you wish to try.
There are 26 galgos currently at Pepis and 18 puppies from the two galga bitches which arrived heavily pregnant. They all need feeding, along with the 50+ other dogs. Please help feed them, and home them. And you will be made very welcome if you want to go and spend a week’s holiday volunteering at the refuge. There is a very comfy caravan ready and waiting!
