Kim’s Animal Refuge – report on the rescue operation
From New Dawn Welfare, UK.
You probably heard in the news about the wild fires in Southern Spain. On
31st August we received the terrible news that Kim’s Animal Rescue in
La Cala de Mijas had been badly affected.On the night 30th/31st August the rescue had to be evacuated. The volunteers
at the rescue worked tirelessly through the night to try to evacuate as many
dogs and cats as possible. The local police at 1 a.m in the morning closed off
all the roads leading to the rescue, saying it was too dangerous. The only way
to access the rescue was through the dried river-bed which covers an area at the
bottom of the valley. The helpers drove their cars along the dried river-bed to
get within 100 yards of the lower part of the rescue, the cattery. -

Galgo puppy in danger in Spain – foster and adopting home needed
Tigreton is 6 months old, found wandering the streets of a Spanish town, lost and helpless. His beautiful colouring and markings will make him a very handsome boy! Hidden away in a barn for fear of him being stolen for hunting, we need to get him a foster home quickly – better still a forever home so that this baby can have a life very different than the one he was probably destined for had he not escaped.
Tigreton will be vaccinated, chipped and sterilised by Levriers & Co as soon as he has a home to go to – it can’t be soon enough! He is affectionate and playful, he’s a puppy…. but this baby is in danger the longer he stays where he is!
Please call on :-(0033) 05 65 69 12 26 or email at :- doglinks.fr@gmail.com to save this beautiful young dog and give him the home he desperately deserves. Thank you.

August – and Scooby is still rescuing galgos…
At the beginning of the week Fermin Perez of Scooby went out to buy a new cement mixer; on his way back he picked up yet another abandoned galgo. And then a couple of days later, this small galgo puppy was found in a pinewood, abandoned! Cobie, of Scooby, says ‘I would like to talk in that wood to the person who left her all alone there, without water or food!! She is only skin and bones, dehydrated and malnourished, some 7 weeks old. Now she is ok after an infusion, she does not yet want to eat but the volunteers are going to buy and cook chicken, we hope she will eat it!
