Please don’t forget we are starting an online forum auction this Saturday 30th March at 8pm in aid of 112 carlota galgos to help Charlotte pay for the ever mounting vet fees for sweet Ebro.
For those who aren’t familiar with the story of Ebro please click on the following link. This little galgo has gone through so much but with his strength and determination to survive and charlotte’s unending love & care he is making progress slowly but surely.
A story about two hunting dogs – not galgos or podencos – but typical of the actions of many a Spanish galguero now the hunting season has finished. If anyone can help ACTIN, please contact them direct.
UPDATE: They are saved, read it here. But now ACTIN needs funds to pay for these dogs, for vet fees, food, fostering…If you haven’t already done so, please join ACTIN and support their work.
ACTIN is working hard to change the situation on animal cruelty and neglect in Murcia and ultimately Spain. a Spanish lawyer and animal lover has recently joined their team and you can now read the story of the first rescue they have undertaken, with the law on their side. On this link, you can read the story of Mara, a pointer chained up and neglected at Bullas, Murcia, who was rescued along with 120 podencos, galgos and other hunting dogs in January/February 2012.
Please join ACTIN and support the work they are doing.
Donations for the poor Cordoba shelter – instructions from Chris Marshall, who will bring them back.
If people want donations bringing back they need to get them to Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, for 8.30am on the 25th March. I am sure I can arrange for the person to take delivery of them before that over the weekend if necessary. Susan Dawson is the lady. Her email is dogblues@hotmail.com she is happy to be contacted to arrange drop off over the weekend x
We are sure you have all been following the harrowing story of Ebro, rescued injured from Badajoz perrera, both front legs broken, taken in by 112 Carlota Galgos and the wonderful love & care he has been receiving from Charlotte.
Sighthoundsforlife are pleased to announce we shall be holding an auction shortly in aid of Ebro’s veterinary bills – we’re talking about 4 figures – so if anyone has anything they can donate to the auction, we will be extremely grateful.
Besides saving galgos in the Seville province, Alan Brian of Pepis Dog Refuge is also a poet. You can read some of his poems here.
Animal Welfare Support Murcia does a wonderful job in helping all types of dogs, puppies, pedigrees, puppies, xbreeds…they don’t discriminate. This is Ky, a galgo they have in their care who needs sponsoring. If you would like to sponsor this stunning galgo – or even ask to adopt him – details here. At the same time, they are working hard to save some dogs in a hellish situation and desperately need somewhere for the dogs to go, so that they can denounce the owner for cruelty, neglect and anything else they can throw at him. I know these dogs aren’t galgos, but I ask and ask for people to make a denuncia in cruelty cases. So please, share this appeal and contact any friends you have who could foster any of these dogs, or donate to them going into kennels.
This appeal is from my friend Sandra Campos Cuevas of Nueva Oportunidad Sevilla.
The partners of Ochavillo del Río (Córdoba) are responsible for over 20 dogs, they only have a sack of feed. Its facilities are appalling. They also have puppies. They need food, beds, blankets, and help to spread. They need adoptions. Nueva Oportunidad Sevilla is trying to raise money, materials and medicines to take them as soon as possible.

Desperately urgent help needed. Pepis Dog Refuge, near Seville, has 18 galgos as well as other dogs, two of the galgas have just had pups, about 8 pups each, plus yesterday a hunter arrived at the gates with 5 galgos wanting them to take his dogs. They haven’t room, please can anyone help. Their Internet access is still down, they have to go to the local village to use the Internet. On this link is their address and telephone number. They also need donations towards food and vet bills, and homes for all these dogs. They have 80 dogs there now. Please help.
When viewing this film, please remember that all these animals have been rescued, all these dogs need forever homes. Please consider taking your holiday as a working holiday at Scooby Medina and helping with the animals. And it costs a lot of money to feed and care for these animals and restore them to good health.
