  • Once revered by Royalty, thrown away like garbage – the stunning White Galgo

    Romeo and Juliet 400 18 7 2016They are Romeo and Juliet, obviously male and female very young. They were found by a wandering disoriented by the highway Jerez (Cadiz) Spain.  Loads of traffic, very dangerous for them.
    Between Manuel and Macarena with the help of other cars that were stopped they managed to rescue them.
    We believe that they are brothe and sisters, they support the one on the other.
    We would like to home the two together, for obvious reasons.  They are very good and quiet.

    They are at the clinic, but they won’t be able to stay much longer. so a foster home is urgently needed, or even better, a forever home.  Adopt a galgo, you will regret it.

    Contacts.  Macarena Castellano or Lola Bustillo  (but only on their facebook pages as I can’t get an email or phone no for them)

  • Javea – Xabia Town Hall and APASA – plans for new kennels

    Would that all municipal councils would do this.

    In Javea – Xàbia Town Hall and Apasa cooperate on the design and management of the new municipal dog kennels.

    The future facility will not decrease the capacity for the number of dogs nor will any dogs be put down.
    Xàbia Town Hall and the animal protection organisation Apasa have reached an agreement to jointly design the future municipal dog pound to be installed in the Ramblars area, away from local housing, providing the best sanitary conditions and services. Both the mayor, José Chulvi, and the president of Apasa, Mandy Conway, have positively praised this new period of cooperation.

  • A baby, abandoned alone in a Spanish flat – safe now with Scooby

    From Cobie at Scooby Protectora.

    Scooby Bombon 400 7 2016They moved and took with them every worthless piece of shit with them, every chair, table, carpet, spoon, bowl, everything until the flat was completely empty.

    But the most valuable thing they left behind in that empty hole: this little galga puppy only 10 weeks old who actually should still be with her mother. But they left her all alone without water, without food, no soft blanket to sleep on, just nothing.

    Of course she was afraid and felt alone so she started to panic and cried and screamed for days and hoped that somebody heard her and would come back for her to keep her company. Well, finally, after some days, the neighbours called the police, they came and broke the door open and found her, totally stressed and brought her to the perrera municipal in Valladolid where Scooby took her out.

    Anpana Alan 400 6 2014
    Got some holiday to spare; time at a weekend to run a monthly car boot stall….anything to help Jane and Alan Brian at Pepis.  Here’s a message from a recent volunteer, Holly,.

    ‘A big shout out to Jane Brian and Alan who run Pepis Refuge in Pedrera for welcoming me into their doggie family as a volunteer for the past two weeks! It was an amazing and eye opening experience 10/10 recommend to anyone who is a dog lover and wanting to do some good in the world. Jane and Alan are an amazing couple who work so hard everyday to care for all of their dogs and struggle against the cruelty that is inflicted on the dogs by the Spanish and their culture. They need SO MUCH help. If you want to volunteer or donate please contact Pepis Refuge, they would appreciate any help you can give!!’
