  • Galgo Candido – sick and starving on the streets of Segovia

    Candido Segovia 1 400 24 10 2018
    From Protectora Segovia

    ‘You killed him. Damn. Scoundrels. Scum.

    Same as usual. The unspeakable. Those who have them as mere tools, as machines to make money for you to live the story. Those who are always unpunished, those who believe in caches, those who blow their bodies and their souls. Damn. When you left him you knew he was sick, and you also knew that only 3 months old, only on the street, he wouldn’t survive. Cowards.

    What kind of trash are you to throw a puppy out in those conditions, infected with parvovirus, starving, completely dehydrated, without being able to stand up? Damn you. Damn.

    Disgust of you and shame of some authorities who do absolutely nothing to solve this problem in Segovia, and we are always the same volunteers who have to break inside and out. Sick of you. Damn.

    Candido, little boy, we are so sorry. Run free like the beautiful galgo you should, have been up there between the clouds. Don’t think about everything you suffered, remember our hugs. We love you.’

  • Saved from the Malaga storms – safe with Ann’s Canine Care

    Anns Canine Care Monica 400 1 10 2018
    During the storms in Malaga a completely starved galga was found on the street. Ann Marie Payne of Ann’s Canine Care immediately promised to take her in. Poor hound is full of wounds, we don’t know what she has been through, and it looks like she’s pregnant. Ann is taking her to her vet tomorrow. Let’s hope the best that Monica, apart from her injuries, is healthy.

    Ann is naturally happy about any support in the form of donations or sponsorships.

  • After Brexit March 2019 – potential big changes for pets and overseas travel

    H M Government 400
    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    ‘Potentially big changes for taking your pets overseas from the UK after March 2019… It could resort back to the old system where titre counts for Rabies are required and 4 months waiting before they can travel and to complete a number of documents to travel. We had to do this back in 2001 when we first moved to Spain with our dogs. This will also impact on rescue dogs though in this article there is no mention of them but I imagine they will have to comply with the same rules to travel from Europe to the UK.’
