A beautiful galga needing a special forever home. Rosemary explains.
‘This is Mia, she is with us in a very small family run kennels. However she has come as far as she will there and needs to move into foster where she will get more one to one attention and bring her on the rest of the way It would be better if she went to someone with experience of dogs that are nervous? All her costs are covered, she is very good with other dogs.’

My daughter Georgy, her boyfriend Leigh and I are doing a three legged walk (or is it a 4-legged walk with 3 people?) this month (19th July) from Hove Lagoon to Brighton Pier to donate to a Dog Refuge in Spain. We have a passion to help abused and abandoned dogs. A lot of these dogs suffer extremely horrific injuries due to outrageous abuse.
We are raising money for Pepis Dog Refuge. They are based in Seville in Spain. Pepis Dog Refuge is run by two amazing people, Alan and Jane Brian! They work extremely hard, day in, day out in blistering hot conditions to look after the welfare of these dogs. They take the dogs in when they’ve been abandoned and abused and looked after them, and get them the help they need until they find them a suitable home. Alan and Jane do an amazing job. However, due to the nature of this job and the high levels of abuse they require a lot of funding. The Refuge is not government funded. It’s all run on donations.
Another petition to sign…we have to keep pushing and publicising the plight of the galgos and podencos and the horrendous cruelty they suffer at the hands of the corrupt and unfeeling insensitive galgueros. If we don’t continue to speak up, nothing will happen. Change only come slowly, we have to keep trying.

Rescate de cachorros de una alcantarilla en Las Cabezas de San Juan (Sevilla)

A wonderful initiative by Lucy and Jessica, and their hounds. Walking in Belgium around the famous Waterloo battlefield and raising desperately needed funds for Pepis Dog Refuge…for the 14 surviving galgo puppies born there this year, who have managed to survive the parvo virus attack. All details here.
Here is the latest news on the situation for the container dogs.
Always sad to read news like this. Too many associations are struggling to feed and rehome the dogs dumped on them.
I have not updated on the situation for the dogs locked in a metal container in baking sunshine in Murcia because the ACTIN legal team asked for a blanket on the publicity. This ban has now been lifted and I can tell you that the ACTIN lawyers have been pushing through their case with the court. The legal team need paying, please Paypal donatons@actin-spain.com to donate to their fees…they do not charge for expenses etc.
Updates…
I’m always sceptical of a person who gets involved with an animal rescue association and goes full on with volunteering, fundraising, getting involved with the running of the refuge…goes overboard in fact. Generally, they disappear in the same way – puff, often leaving a bad taste in the mouth on discovering they haven’t been totally honest.
Such a situation has happened recently and, sadly, it’s the refuge which suffers, the dogs which miss out…
I’ll never understand people. Give me animals any day!
