Prodeanse, Seville – Galga Nieves fighting to survive the abuse of a galguero
I visited Prodeanse shelter when I was in Seville last year. The team work to help dogs in a very bad area for abandonment and cruelty. This is their story of Nieves.
SEVILLA / / Nieves… Rescued from the Cerro de Dos Hermanas
Nieves gave birth to her 9 puppies on the morning of the 27 June.
She was treated with amoxicillin/clavulamico (antibiotic), meloxican (anti-inflammatory) and a vitamin complex since she was rescued. On July 1 she went to the vet as an emergency. -

Pepis Refuge, Pedrera, Seville – can you help feed a galgo?
Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, are appealing for help to feed their galgos and for fosterers and adopters. Besides galgos, they have podencos and other adorable residents including a dalmation. They all need feeding.
Could you feed a galgo? Simply click on the link below to help feed Dina, Richardo and Maneta, for starters. You can donate a sum via Pepis website too.
Is there a rescue/rehoming association who could find placements for their dogs, many of whom were dumped on them as puppies and have spent most of their lives in kennels?

Galgo pup Polar – enjoying life in France
Polar continues to give us lots of pleasure and wins the affection of everyone he meets.
He’s well into the household routine and starting to learn a few manners! He has to be fed first, otherwise he has his head in everyone else’s bowl and they stupidly let him. His big buddy is Bracken – they play together and often share a bed. Bracken has earned a lot of gold stars, he has endless patience. His ears get pinched, his jowl, his leg – come on, mate, I want to play – and only once has he snapped back that he’s had enough of playing for the time being!

DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! Please sponsor him
DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! WHY?
To raise funds for Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville.
When? TUESDAY, 23rd JULY 2013
Where? LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
He needs to raise 6,000 euros.
It will cost 5,000 euros to fence an area of land where the refuge can relocate to the top of the hill above the house and kennels, which have been engulfed in mud slides over winter. The house is now declared unsafe to live in.
It will cost 1,000 euros to buy a new electricity generator – their last one died and they are struggling. They can’t use power tools and the refuge does not have sufficient electricity for the day to day running of the refuge. They have a small generator which powers some of the lights at night. At the moment, the nights are light – what will happen in winter with short days and long dark nights?

Bogus RSPCA callers – animal owners beware – please circulate!
Please see message below that was received today from a trusted source. Could you all send to everyone in your address book, with lots of eyes looking for this van there’s much more chance of them getting caught.
When I was halfway to Kent doing deliveries this morning I had a phone call from my son, apparently the RSPCA were at my door. I have seen a white van with lowercase letters ‘rspca’ (NOT their Logo) in my road for the last 2 days with the occupant seemingly just walking around ? Luckily, having seen the van, I had reminded my children just yesterday that if they come, they do NOT come in, they do NOT see my dogs, and they must come back when myself and/or my husband are here.
