How long is too long to leave a dog alone?
Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human. Many suffer from separation anxiety. We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.
So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.

Galgo Batman hoping for a forever home
BATMAN – Small in size, black and white, with the sweet face of a puppy, Batman is a gentle, sensitive, and very kind galgo. The shelter is far too difficult an environment for him. Being small and delicate, he struggles in such an intense and competitive setting. He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a calm, protected home where he can live peacefully, relax, and feel safe.
Like many male galgos, Batman is affectionate, tender, and forms a deep bond with people. He is also good with other dogs. Batman needs peace, love… and a real chance.

Galga Dani with Protectora Scooby Medina hoping for her forever home
This is the beautiful galga Dani with Protectora Scooby who is hoping for her forever home. If you have room in your home and heart for her, contact Scooby direct.
Her photo really pulled at my heart strings as she is the twin of one of my galgas, Carmela, who I adopted after she had spent 4 years at the hands of a hunter who maltreated her. It took over 2 years of her living with my galga gang before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog. Very much loved and remember.

70 hunting dogs desperately needing to move to shelters
Yet another sad example of the horrors endured by Spain’s hunting dogs because there is no law to protect them.
The 6 month old puppies arrived from Alentejo this week. They were brought to Tiny Shelter by the very kind Municipal vet of Alentejo, herself. They are lovely dogs and clearly so excited to be in a new place …away from the CHAOTIC AWFUL PLACE where they lived…
All have small cuts and sores, proof that they had to fight for food , but apart from that, they are lovely ,happy, GRATEFUL puppies, excitedly smelling and investigating everything. He immediately vaccinated them , gave them very good puppy food and toys. These are some of the lucky ones, already removed … close to 20 have been removed…there are 50 left! (more…) -

URGENT APPEAL for donations for Scalibor collars
Animal lovers the summer months are approaching and it’s very important to protect dogs from the sandfly that causes Leishmaniosis. Every year, unfortunately, too many dogs adopted from Spain die abroad due to ignorance, poor information, wrong diagnosis, not the right treatment… So preventing infection with the Leishmania parasite is very important. Contrary to what is often said, Leishmaniosis cannot be cured, in other words your dog will have it for the rest of his or her life. Fortunately, with proper treatment and medication, the infection can be kept under control. Regular blood tests are also recommended, that way your four-legged friend can also grow old like other dogs. We protect dogs during and before the summer months with a collar combined with a pippet. A vaccination is also possible, it’s quite expensive and studies have currently not been able to show whether this vaccination gives sufficient security. (more…)

Refugio Kimba – forever there for the Spanish hounds needing help
Refugio Kimba is one of the oldest established animal rescue associations in Spain, since 1872. And today they are still there helping them
Galgos don’t come to Kimba by chance. They arrive broken, frightened, marked by abuse and abandonment. Used for years and discarded when they “no longer fit”. As if their life only has value while they run. They are incredibly noble and sensitive dogs. And even after everything, they still trust. They are still looking for a cuddle, a home, a chance. That’s what hurts the most.
We don’t ask for pity, we ask for awareness. Don’t let your suffering normalize. Don’t look away. They have no voice. We do.
From Refugio Kimba we will continue to fight for every greyhound. Use your voice for them
