SOS! At Risk: BETTY, podenquita abandoned, very scared and across carreteras.CÓRDOBA.
This is Betty, a female podenquita small, tan and medium length hair, abandoned in Cordoba. She is very suspicious, does not let you come, does not trust. These photos were taken by a friend was with me. This little bitch is on the street, she seems to be stuck, because there is absolutely no trust in humans. There is a girl who puts food and water down when she goes to this town but she does not live there.
Please can any associations help this brave lady? Here’s the appeal I received.
CAN YOU HELP SAVE THESE GALGOS, PLEASE?
These galgos are in a shanty town in Sevilla. For two years Inmaculada has been rehoming them little by little. She doesn’t have photos of them all as the people become very angry and won’t allow her in the place. There were eight females, seven males and six mixed breed.
Jerez perrera, Cadiz – 15 galgos dumped for killing, at least one of them heavily in pup, all of them terrified, wondering what they have done wrong to be in such a place. And it’s only June since Pro-Galgo took some galgos from death row in Jerez, for rehoming! If anyone can help, contact Maribel urgently maribeljerezsos2@gmail.com
Some good news from Amigos de los Galgos; work has begun on creating separate enclosures for the hundreds of dogs living in the Pedro Munoz refuge at Ciudad Real, 200km south of Madrid. Loli must be so pleased. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTTco935UNo&NR=1
Have a look at this link, it’s a story about a galga picked up in Almeria, Southern Spain, and being looked after and treated by Ibizan Hound Rescue. She was full of ticks and with an infection in her broken hind leg. There is a fabulous pic of Shari playing with a couple of the rescued podencos. Ibizan Hound Rescue are always looking for forever homes for their rescued podencos, some of them are prepared with passports for entry into the UK. Contact IHR direct.
This is a diabolical situation which has been ongoing for two or three days. Volunteers are working like mad to save these dogs.
A volunteer writes. ‘Am writing to ask for help. I know everyone is saturated with dogs and right now, with the hunting season in full swing, every week we find more and more dogs. But I had to send this appeal.
It’s a case in Seville in a shanty area. There are gypsies with many compounds made of metal where they put hundreds of dogs, above all galgos and podencos waiting to be tried by the gypsies as to if they can be used for hunting. Those that can are sold to the galgueros. The others they kill. They rent these places for months and have to pay the head of the gypsy hierarchy.
This is Freya, a podenca at Los Infiernos refuge, Murcia, where Tina is a volunteer. Tina explains ‘She is a podenco suffering terribly. She has been chewing at her own leg and has broken through the skin. She doesn’t want to eat and had lost a lot of weight but volunteers have been hand feeding her wet food so that is helping. I’ve had her moved to a more comfortable place in the refuge and she is improving but would like to see her leave asap. She is approx 10mths, great with people but nervous with other dogs until she gets to know them!’
Please contact Tina direct.
And don’t forget sweet Mary, currently in a kennels and desperate for her forever home. Contact Charl direct.
This year there seem to have been more galgos abandoned and still loose on the streets and campo. Charl’s had this information in about a galga loose on the streets of Jaen, with injuries to her neck, quite obviously managed to survive a hanging. There are people in the area trying to catch her Read about it on her weblog.
Anyone in the area who can help, please contact El Arca de Noe.
July, and still the galgos are abandoned and loose. This one is at Irma Mykonos Road, between Lebrija and El Cuerva, Seville. She has a malformed front leg but can still walk, and her teeth are in a terrible state. Please help us before the gitanos take her for hunting again.
