Jerez perrera, Cadiz – another dozen galgos dumped yesterday!
Good news about the second batch of galgos in the Jerez perrera. 6 are going to Valencia for care and rehoming, 4 are going to Malaga for care and rehoming and two are going together to their forever home in the UK. Holly and Faith, as they have been named, became bosom buddies when they were both rescued by Dioni. Their EU passport is now being prepared and then they will travel together into quarantine kennels in the UK, where their adopting family (who have been involved in greyhound rescue for decades) will be able to spend time getting to know them, preparing them to join the rest of their canine family.

Two podencas desperately needing forever homes
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.

Podenca Mary, Galga Dana, 112carlotagalgos-desperately needing help
You will remember I posted about the rescue by Charl del Rio of 112carlotagalgos (newly formed association) of Mary, the podenca puppy abandoned at a petrol filling station. Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous? And also Dana, a galga in kennels who is very stressed by her situation.
Charl’s association 112carlotagalgos, is just born, and so doesn’t have any backup funds -any which have been donated so far have gone out immediately to pay for vet fees and kennel costs for these two deserving dogs.

Update on Podenca Mary and introducing Galga Dana
Mary has now been bathed, wormed, flea treatment, ticks removed, and taken to the vet – age estimated just 5-6 months old. See how tiny she is, sitting next to the laundry basket! Not surprisingly, she has no microchip. She has tested negative for leishmania, just waiting for the results for ehrlichia and filaria. These should be back in a couple of days, and then she will be vaccinated etc. Once this has been done, she will go to the kennels with Dana.

Mary, a young podenca rescued in Alhaurin, Spain, desperately needing help
A picture of sheer unadulterated terror in the eyes of this little dog! Charl del Rio found her at a petrol station, lost, terrified, hungry. She managed to catch her, called her Mary as she is like a little lamb, and now tells the story.
‘I went to visit the galgo Charlie after his castration, and on the way home I stopped at the petrol station in Alhaurin, where I found this little lost soul, a baby podenco which looks like a little fox, COVERED in pinchy thorns… it was late, I got to the petrol station and thought ill put petrol in the car. I stopped walking and she came up behind me. At a distance I thought she was older than she was, but I then could see she was just a baby.
