  • Dumped in trash bin…no 3

    Galgo pup dumpster 170 30 7 2015The horror for the dogs goes on. Having reported two separate stories of galgo pups being dumped in rubbish bins…here’s a third one, now saved.

    Outrageous! Until when are we going to have to keep living these situations??

    This morning (30/7/2015) we were in the car when we saw a group of people with two Guardia Civile looking in a dumpster. We stopped immediately because we feared the worst. And so it was, a galguita pup about 3 months had been lying in the dumpster in a bag.

    Poor baby, being inside of the bag and nearly 40 degrees of temperature. Immediately I communicate to the Guardia Civile that we are a rescue and, even though at first they put to us a million questions! Finally we get the puppy to the vet.

  • Handicapped Galgo Polar – diary notes

    1 4 2013 Polar Alan 2 250For those of you who followed the story of disabled galgo puppy Polar – abandoned at the gates of Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville at 2 months old, here’s a update on his life at present, 2 years after he arrived to join our canine gang. (Photo of him nursing Alan Brian after heart problems)

    He still doesn’t know he is handicapped on his rear left leg joint. He evinces no sign of pain and can run faster than the other 2 galgos…in straight lines! However, Bracken (with 4 good legs) can turn corners much quicker! He has a small scoop of MSM each day, is still collecting ASBOs – last night he destroyed one of the foam beds a friend made for the dogs to lie on the terrasse in the sunshine!

  • Stunning Young Galgo in UK waiting for his forever home

    Reilly 190 1 2 2015This beautiful boy is Reilly. As a small puppy, he was left tied by a piece of wire to the gate of Pepis Dog Refuge two years ago and named Phantom because one half of his face is white and one half brown. He was a playmate with my boy Polar, they were pups together. Adopted in the UK and renamed Reilly, sadly due to circumstances beyond his control, he is now in foster in England and waiting for a forever family again.

    He is 2 years old, full Pet Passport, no hangups, perfect with other dogs, ready to slot straight into another home.

    If you have room for him in your home and your heart, here’s the contact.

  • Abandoned dogs – a never ending problem

    Another piece of expressive prose from the pen of Alan Brian of Pepis Dog Refuge.

    DON’T BLAME ME

    I have only had the dog five years, and it never was my pet,
    so I have dumped it in the countryside, it will be easy to forget.
    I took him to the countryside far from where he used to play,
    and threw his favourite ball for him, then swiftly drove away,
    he will never find his way back here, it’s much to far away.
