ADAM is a very new association in Seville, concentrating on helping galgos and podencos. They don’t have a shelter, and have sent out this very urgent appeal.
‘We need shelter for ! NOW ! For a galgo puppy of 4 months that the owner wants to hang because it has a broken leg . If we do not remove it, he will kill it! We take care of the operation and all costs of recovery but we have no shelter or place to have it.
MRW is an animal transport company in Spain which is used by many refuges and association to move animals from perreras, refuges etc. They are used in preference to private transport companies because they are cheaper.
This is a translation of an article in the Spanish press.
MRW mistreats the animals they transport. Seprona has verified this information.
Arca Madrid says that is a scam to get money. Refugiocan, in Valencia, has also verified it. They say that:
As Protective Association we corroborate what Seprona says.
January 2012 Cesar Milan and singer Dani Martin visited Las Nieves shelter, near Madrid, and met their 90 galgos To Dani Martin the association ‘Las Nieves’ is a very special place because dogs do not live in cages but that their space is open and live all together. For Cesar, the reception wass a very special moment: “It’s been a dream, a chulada. See all of the galgos coming toward you … has been a magical moment’. All the galgos are waiting for their forever homes.
Do you remember the two young brindle galgos cowering terrified in Badajoz perrera. They have been adopted by a couple in Madrid and here they are on their way to their forever home. How I wish that to be the happy ending for every dog which finds itself in the killing stations, whatever its breed or mix.
Bullas, Murcia – more pictures and videos.
It’s time to run another letter-writing campaign to the Spanish national and provincial governments. Thank you to Dioni del Rio for this translation. Please copy and paste the letter into a word document and post. This link takes you to the list of addresses for the recipients – the national government – Prime Minister, Ministers of Tourism, Environment, Sport, Interior, all in Madrid, Andalucia, Murcia, Extremadura, Castilla la Mancha, Castilla y Leon, Balearics, Canary Islands, Valencia, Basque. The relevant addresses are highlighted in bold. You’ll need 15 copies of the letter if you write to them all. I’m beginning to get replies to my letters, so someone is reading them! Please join in, the galgos and podencos desperately need your help.
Here are some photos of the rescue at Bullas, Murcia, on Friday, 9th March 2012. (most are on Facebook). Story on Podenco Post. You will see there were alsations, podencos, pointers, galgos…..some chained up in vans and trucks, some outside in the intense heat with no shade, chained to trees, no food, no water. The white dog has ticks behind its ears and down its spine.
I understand all the dogs were rescued from Bullas today, apart from some puppies which the bastard owner had hidden! But let’s not forget that there are still dozens of galgos arriving in the killing stations too.
Here are some in Jerez, killing date 22nd March, including a podenco puppy. Contact as always is Maribel contact: maribeljerezsos2@gmail.com
