Greyhound Rescue Holland – join the adoption team
Greyhounds Rescue Holland is looking for fellow volunteers joined the adoption team.
The adoption team mediates adoption of dogs (greyhounds and podencos) from the Spanish shelters. This means a lot of contact with the prospective adoptive parents and contacts of the Spanish shelters.
Adoption Team volunteer is a tough job that depends intensity in terms of the number of applications running adoption. It is important that the work between the members of the adoption team is well distributed and that consulted regularly via whats app and phone.
But asking volunteers to make a house call to potential adopters, assessing adoption applications and decide on part of this task.
The adoption team always placed the interest of the dog first.

Pepis Dog Refuge – desperate call for donations
One word…..HELP!!💔
Apologies from Jane at Pepis Dog Refuge for not posting much this week but as you will see it’s been a tough one. Probably one of the worst yet. Anyone following this page will of seen Kiora, the Galga that was recently dumped and shortly after died of an unknown illness. Well sadly, the illness is still unknown and it’s rampaging it’s way through the refuge. We currently have 3 dogs at the vets, 2 in the refuge hospital on drips and several more showing signs of coming down with it. We are praying at the moment they will all survive it.
Regardless, this is going to result in a MASSIVE vet bill. We obviously can’t quote it yet as at the moment we have no idea how many more are going to need treatment. If you can donate ANY amount it would be a great help.
PayPal is pepis.dogrefuge@yahoo.co.uk
Sadly Jane has reported today that galga Faith has died.

Deanimals supports Animal Ambulorca in Murcia
A new project has been created by Angel Navarro Perez and Ambulorca which aims to help families who have an accident travelling with animals in their car which will rescue and protect physically and psychologically these animals, thus giving, security and peace to the emotionally wounded famuly, if they have to be taken by ambulance to a hospital. An Ambulance will up people and take them to the hospital and, in turn, another special “ambulance of Lorca” will assist the animals simultaneously and will activate a protocol of animal welfare, with the support of a great professional team of multidisciplines.
Deanimals lawyer Raquel López Teruel says this is a great initiative and a necessary project that will help a lot of lives of people and animals.
The project has been at the Congress of the Spanish Society of Medicine and the ER.
