  • Kim’s Animal Refuge – report on the rescue operation

    Murcia fires 1 8 2012From 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

    Levriers & Co Tigreton 200 8 2012Tigreton 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.
