Abandoned Spanish galga desperately needs help
The sad fate of hundreds of galgos now that hunting in Spain has finished for the season. Hopefully someone will help this sweet soul.
This is JARA, she’s six years old and desperately needs a foster home. She was abandoned on a road and taken to Elda protectora (perrera), but she risks being put to sleep. Los Chiquitines Association would like to take her into their care but currently they have nowhere to keep her safe. Contact is Elspeth on WhatsApp+34 669 53 74 83 -

URGENT APPEAL for donations for Scalibor collars
Animal lovers the summer months are approaching and it’s very important to protect dogs from the sandfly that causes Leishmaniosis. Every year, unfortunately, too many dogs adopted from Spain die abroad due to ignorance, poor information, wrong diagnosis, not the right treatment… So preventing infection with the Leishmania parasite is very important. Contrary to what is often said, Leishmaniosis cannot be cured, in other words your dog will have it for the rest of his or her life. Fortunately, with proper treatment and medication, the infection can be kept under control. Regular blood tests are also recommended, that way your four-legged friend can also grow old like other dogs. We protect dogs during and before the summer months with a collar combined with a pippet. A vaccination is also possible, it’s quite expensive and studies have currently not been able to show whether this vaccination gives sufficient security. (more…)

Refugio Kimba – forever there for the Spanish hounds needing help
Refugio Kimba is one of the oldest established animal rescue associations in Spain, since 1872. And today they are still there helping them
Galgos don’t come to Kimba by chance. They arrive broken, frightened, marked by abuse and abandonment. Used for years and discarded when they “no longer fit”. As if their life only has value while they run. They are incredibly noble and sensitive dogs. And even after everything, they still trust. They are still looking for a cuddle, a home, a chance. That’s what hurts the most.
We don’t ask for pity, we ask for awareness. Don’t let your suffering normalize. Don’t look away. They have no voice. We do.
From Refugio Kimba we will continue to fight for every greyhound. Use your voice for them -
