Not a galgo but another of the maltreated hunting dogs of Spain. As you read this story, with a happy ending, know that what happened to Annie happens to dozens of galgos and podencos every year. Another despicable way the hunters dispose of their dogs.

Educating galgueros – Pepis Refuge, Seville
Even with 75 dogs to care for 24/7 and a pregnant galga just rescued after being abandoned and running loose in the village, and about to produce babies, Jane and Alan of Pepis Refuge made time to visit a local hunter. Here Jane explains.
‘As part of our ongoing effort to be involved in the world of the Galgos and the Galgueros in our area, we were invited to go and see a local Galguero and his dogs. He was very proud to show us the food he prepares them every day, which consisted of pasta, vegetables, meat and bread, with a supplement of vitamins which we saw cooking as we were there.
His dogs have a large compound with individual sleeping compartments, spotlessly clean. His dogs are micro chipped, vaccinated and tattooed on the ear. For security reasons he has a vault door filled with concrete and thick walls as some of the Galgos are from champions and to him are priceless, he has dogs of over 7 years of age that he won’t part with.

ACTIN – animal cruelty exposed through the Courts – why they need your support
ACTIN can now report on a case of severe maltreatment of galgos which they have been working on since august 2013. This is why they need your support, to pay their legal team fight such cases through the courts. The two galgos are now with 112carlotagalgos and they have sponsors. Charl has asked that any donations for them be sent direct to ACTIN to help them continue their work.
Viv Wharton reports.
In August 2013, Actin was alerted to a case of 3 dogs being kept in horrendous conditions. It is hard to prove cruelty and neglect in Spain because of the lack of an animal protection act or an official organisation in Spain. Since Actin’s conception one of its aims is to prove how many cases like this exist and to find the right way to deal with it effectively.

The aim of the Project is to improve the welfare of animals in Spain and all aspects of that.
