  • ACTIN/AWSM galgos for adoption

    Ky AWSM 250 3 2013This is Ky, who I recently met with the rest of the ACTIN/Animal Welfare Support Murcia Galgos Aysha, Rubio and Donna – who’s only a year old. They all have a tale to tell of cruelty and suffering at the hands of the galgueros but are now safe in foster and waiting for their forever homes. They’ve been waiting quite a long time, there must be someone out there who has space in their hearts and homes for these beautiful galgos.

    Ky is black and white, Aysha is a stunning chocolate brown, Rubio is tan and Donna is in the bottom pix lying on the sofa! You can also see me below with little Podenca mum Bonny, also looking for a forever home, and their foster mom Sherlie. If you can’t adopt one, please consider sponsoring one – they all need to eat, why not sponsor a galgo for a month or more.

    Please contact ACTIN if you wish to sponsor adopt one. admin@actin-spain.com

  • 2 galgos down a 30ft well – Galgos del Sol to the rescue

    Well_Galgos_GdS_250 1_2013We all know that most galgueros, especially in rural areas, will stop at nothing to dispose of their dogs, especially at the end of hunting. Galgos del Sol and Tina Solera have just taken in two young galgas, Tina tells the story.

    ‘We help alot of galgueros in this area…… I am so bloody disapointed with this, I can’t tell you. We have spoken with some galgueros and they believe for sure these two young galgas were stolen and the thieves did not want them to get back home. That is why galgueros build BUNKERS to prevent theft. Pistolero was stolen from a galguero here in our village two years ago… he was also found over 4 hrs away down in a deep well. These two young galgas were thrown in a well 30 meters deep and pulled out approx a couple of days ago by firemen.

  • 50 podencos need saving from Bullas, Murcia – as well as the galgos – Pro-Setter Spain needs help

    Murcia podenco 250 3 3 3 2012Here’s the original story about the 120 dogs in a compound in Bullas, Murcia. Seprona have denounced and all the dogs will be put to sleep if they aren’t rescued. Pro-Setter Spain is co-ordinating the rescue with other associations.

    I’ve just received news that there are 50 podencos which need saving – podencos are fabulous companion pets, especially for active people who like jogging, long walks, dog agility work. You can see photos of these hounds on Podenco Post. If anyone wants to donate or maybe find out how to adopt one of the dogs, contact Pro-Setter Spain or Galgos del Sol(links on original post).
