  • Prodeanse, Seville – saving more galgos and podencos

    Prodeanse Mary 2 200 12 2012Prodeanse was one of the small shelters in Seville which I visited in September. It’s in a terrible area for abandonment of dogs – and horses and mules on tethers day after day, no shelter from the weather – hot or cold. Here are two more souls now in the care of the Prodeanse team.

    “MARY and PANDORA”

    It hurts so much that we’d shout and scream, if thus we find peace and relief that we have never found because of many unfortunates… Mary and Pandora since they were born know first-hand the so-called “sack man” which is none other than a Hunter, galguero, rather bad guy, bastard, unfortunate… Although I would prefer to use another vocabulary!

  • Seville & Huelva – galgas on the streets – in danger…

    Seville 250 11 2012Abandoned galgos and podencos everywhere, every year now it gets worse – there are thousands in the perreras already, due to be killed – or the galgueros say to volunteers, ‘take this dog or I will kill it’. How do the volunteers cope?!

    Here is a young galga abandoned in Seville province, in danger on the streets – or becoming pregnant! Contact ..CONTACT GEM…SEVILLE 679106878… THANK YOU!

    And this beauty too.

    She’s in a village in Huelva, she’s been there all summer. She had puppies which have disappeared – stolen, killed, who knows. She was very fearful but a person in the village has been feeding her and now it would be possible to catch her. But there is no where for her to go.

  • Seville galga – at risk in a galguero village

    Seville galga 200 11 2012Appeal is out to try and rescue this poor galga, in a village in Seville province, in an industrial area near a gitano camp.

  • Galgo pups dumped in a skip – urgently need experienced foster mom.

    Seville galgo pups 2250 8 11 2012We’ve read about the heartless Portuguese hunters taking newborn galgo babies away from their mothers and killing them, so the mothers can be sent hunting/racing again. These galgo babies are only a week old and were found in a skip in Villaverde del Rio, Seville!

    Here’s the appeal. ‘These small left them abandoned in a container, told us, and when we arrived were so small!! do how can do this? It must be inhuman and have no heart…

    We have nowhere to have them since they need to eat every hour and the people who we want to help are working and can not attend properly. We collected them last Friday, (2/11/2012) the weekend they were with a companion, on Monday with a paid host, but I can’t afford 10 euros/day it cost and already on Tuesday returned to collect them.

  • Galgos 112 Kina and Prodeanse Maika – help the galgos, beat the galgueros

    Kina Galgos 250 112 11 2012Two sickening stories of maltreatment to galgos. Kina needs your support, was picked up by association ADAM, Animal Protection Association of Marchena, who say ‘Kina had been shot in the shoulder, has multiple injuries and after diagnosis has broken femur, humerus and hip – suspected dragged behind a car ‘training’ galgos. The galgo is a beautiful tiger brindle, only a year old’. Because of the seriousness of his injuries, ADAM asked Galgos 112 to take over his care and rehabilitation. Read about it here and to donate to vet costs.

    Maika is another one of those angels who fall into the hands of galguero hicks, say Prodeanse.

  • Seville – El Refugio Escuela always helping the dogs

    Sofia El Refugio Escuela, Seville, was one of the shelters I visited recently in my trip to Spain September 2012. Here’s a video of a galgo they rescued, a survivor of hanging by a galguero, back in 2008. Even then the hunters were claiming they didn’t hang their dogs, and they continue to deny it – yet in 2011/2012 we have published footage and photos to prove THEY LIE, THEY STILL HANG DOGS!

  • Cheap Accommodation in Seville – bed but no breakfast!

    Prodeanse galga 250 1 22 10 2012Another galga and babies who had a tough time, these are in Alcala del Rio, Seville. Luckily someone spotted the mom living in a tunnel with her 9 babies, and contacted Prodeanse, who got on with the rescue. The volunteer needed to crawl into the tunnel to get the babies, which she brought out in a shopping bag. They are all safe now, but foster homes are desperately needed, and eventual adoption homes.
