Galga Gabriell – her angels are helping her
The pressure on Spanish refuges and perreras does not lessen – daily galgos and podencos dumped…here’s the latest one at Pepis Refuge on 30th Novewmber, now named Gabriell. Jane tells the story.
Once again another beautiful black galga dumped today. (30/11/2014) I hate the word dumped, but what other words can you use? I would say she is no more than 1 year old, she has a swollen front leg and finds it hard to stand on it, so vets tomorrow. Also we noticed blood running down her neck and a small cut where the chip would have been. No surprise there then. She too is quite thin, but we have bathed her neck, put a nice thick coat on her, given her some food and bedded her down for the night.

France – home for rescue dogs
I have been contacted by a reader with the following offer.
Rural France – a 2-bed property with outbuildings and land totally enclosed by 2m high fence, water and electricity. It is available to someone or a couple for fostering rescued hounds for adoption. Maximum total of dogs allowed by French law is 9 at any one time. The owner lives next door with their own 9 dogs and the property is offered rent free to a suitable applicant. If you are interested in being considered, please contact me in the first instance.

Neal’s Yard – help Galga Petra
My friend Julie has organised a Neal’s Yard fundraiser for Pepis Refuge. Take a look at her website here, lots of lovely natural products, to treat/pamper yourself and as gifts for friends for Xmas. I use the foot balm for tired feet(!), joint capsules, lip gloss – all suitable for sensitive skins too. You can order any time.
One of the dogs you will be helping is Petra, who was recently dumped tied to the main gates with a tight cord round her neck. Jane Brian says it is a long time since they have a dog so terrified of life as Petra. Below you can see the neck cord (against Alan’s hand). If you look carefully behind the blue bed, you’ll see her hiding there. It makes it difficult to clean the kennel as, besides humans, she is terrified of the brush, shovel, water to clean the concrete.

Pepis Dog Refuge – feed the 78 dogs for Xmas
Pepis Dog Refuge, Seville, desperately need donations to buy food for the 78 dogs there – 7 galgos were dumped by hunters this week to add to the ones already there, together with podencos and other hounds. They rely totally on donations – it costs 700 euros/month to feed them all. Please help.
I have some beautiful knitted dolls, hats, galgos for sale in Bebe’s Boutique, take a look – they will make unusual Xmas gifts – you can also see some on this link.
