ACTIN and AWSM, Murcia – saving dogs from maltreatment and neglect
ACTIN in Murcia is not primarily a dog rescue association. Its aims are set out here but, in carrying out their work, it sometimes necessitates taking dogs out of unacceptable conditions. Casey and Noir are two galgas who were recently rescued along with several other dogs. The dogs are now in the care of ACTIN’s rescue association, Animal Welfare Support Murcia (AWSM). ASWM desperately need funds for all these dogs, some in very poor condition and needing veterinary treatment. They do not have a refuge so kennel fees also need to be paid, if foster homes are full!

Portugal Dog Rescue – Foguete fighting for life forever
Latest news on Foguete from Ines Canavarro.
‘UPDATE 23/01/14: We know that it has been long since the last news, but apart from the big move our vet recommended that we carried on with the medication for both Esperança and Foguete, and wait for their own body to respond before doing something more drastic like operating on Esperança’s leg, or taking Foguete for a CT scan.
We were waiting for good news, and they are: Foguete hasn’t had an incontinence episode for 3 weeks now, and is very polite and shy when he needs the loo. He doesn’t stumble anymore, doesn’t have nystagmus anymore, has been managing to close his mouth and not drooling, and only has tiny tremors when nervous.

So, at last all the surviving dogs from the shit hole perrera from Mairena have been taken out of that hell. From what I understand it was a big chaos, somebody opened doors from cages and with an open gate at that time, some 30 dogs escaped, it seems that still some galgos are running free there in the neighbourhood.

Seville – more problems for the galgos and rescuers
And another poor galgo needing help, with another small shelter in Seville.
This young galga has been named “REGALO” (gift in spanish), she was found with a badly broken jaw and a severe infection. She has been taken in by the shelter La Candela Hogar Refugio near Seville and is in Malaga at a vet hospital with strong antiinflamatories and antibiotics.
‘Ariel Sarabria, our veterinary expert in trauma has operated on Regalo. He managed to implant the prosthesis and nails to knit the bone to return it to function and enable Regalo to open and close her mouth, to give her the most normal life possible.
