Galga Reka – suffering in Seville
This beautiful galga is Reka. You will see her terrible injuries below. She was found a week ago, the injuries were not fresh, and smelled, it was not known how long she had been suffering like this. She was exhausted, hungry and ready to give up when found.
Ana from Gran Familia tells the story. ‘She had to be anaesthetised in order to clean up and sew these ugly wounds, the leg muscle has been joined from behind but possibly she will be left with a slight limp. She had some internal bleeding and a torn vulva, which would intimate she was pregnant. It is difficult to imagine how these injuries happened but Reka has had to stay in the vet clinic to have her wounds treated.

SOS Animals, Fuengirola – shelter in crisis!
SOS Animals is being evicted – they have until Friday to find somewhere else for all their rescued dogs. This is one of the pieces of news which always enrages me…the authorities are supposed to be responsible for all abandoned animals – we all know they turn a blind eye much of the time. And they penalise and make life difficult for the wonderful people who run refuges, fundraise, volunteers. Ohhhh, it makes me sooooo angry! Please put your hands together to pray that all these dogs and cats find room somewhere. SOS Animals, near Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. Donate here to their relocation fund.
