    Milagros is another poor victim of human selfishness, rescued from the worst of hells; Was a victim of the famous beggar that keeps puppies constantly locked in a dirty little carrier. We believe that the suffering of Milagritos ended the day we rescued him. But little did we know what was in store for him.

  • A week in the life of an animal rescuer in Spain – could you hack it?!

    Ali's_rope Tina 10 05 2011 250 Regular readers will know that wherever possible I praise the fantastic volunteers in Spain who give so much of their time and emotional and physical effort in helping the abandoned and mistreated animals, often at great cost to themselves.

    So many stories continue to arrive in my Inbox, not just for help for galgos and podencos but other dogs as well. As I speak, efforts are being made by volunteers to catch a family of podencos, other galgos loose on the streets of several towns…..it is never ending.

    This story is one example of a week in the life of a volunteer.

  • The reality of Spain – this is what makes the animal rescuers ashamed of their countrymen

    This is the reality of Spain. This is what the volunteers cope with, emotionally and physically. This is what makes them ashamed of the hunters and the dog breeders and those who give their country a bad name. The two associations involved in the rescue of these animals are Scooby Medina and Benjamin Menhert fondation.

  • Starving, underweight, sick, just rescued in Murcia – can you help?

    Marie 1 Tina 29 03 2011 250 Latest guest of Galgos del Sol. Tina says ‘Marie was caught on the streets of Torre Pacheco. This is a town full of abandoned galgos where I am trying to catch Lorenzo. When I got the call i thought it might have been him they caught! It was Antonio who called me to see if we could take her so I said yes. She is injured, extremely underweight which you can’t appreciate in the photos and frightened. She will go to the vets at 5.30pm. We already know NO microchip. (UPDATE 30/03/2011 – she has not been vaccinated as she is too thin, blood test done and sent for analysis)
