MRW – transporting animals around Spain
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.

La Bienvenida, Ciudad Real – moving date Easter, no room for all the dogs!
This story is particularly sad for me. La Bienvenida, Cuidad Real, is the first refuge I visited in Spain and from where I adopted my first galga, Karmel (pic is my first meeting with her). The refuge is 200km south of Madrid.Protectora La Bienvenida
The shelter will move to a new building around Easter. That sounds nice and it is,but not for all the dogs: because at the moment there are many more dogs then there should be, it means that lots of them cannot go into the new shelter!!
It means they have nowhere to go !! -
Accommodation in Madrid – any room available?
Look at this beautiful face, those trusting eyes. This is Akaru, 8 yrs old. His hunter is going to take him to the perrera to be killed, because he’s got younger dogs now. What a betrayal. Akaru is one of 4 galgos in Madrid belonging to this hunter; he will take them all to the perrera to be killed, unless anyone can take them. Contact is vanessa.mascoteros@gmail.com
