  • Seville – cheap accommodation available in the campo

    Rosario galga puppies 2 390Rosario de la Guia tells the story of this rescue – an all too common one about an abandoned galga who gives birth to pups.

    Look at what we did to rescue this galga and her pups. In the field in a few bushes hidden. For 3 days carrying food and water 3 times a day. We caught them as  we couldn’t leave them to die of a heat stroke.  We found an urgent foster placing  but we need to welcome them also for adoptions for when they stop suckling.  They are in Seville.  There is an adoption contract and follow up.

    Pepis Polar Dillon 250 1 5 2013Just look at these two little friends, comforting each other at Pepis refuge, Seville. Jane tells their stories.

    ‘This is Polar, he is 4 months old. He was left at the refuge three weeks ago and has a deformed back leg. He saw the bone specialist and we were told that his leg was broken when he was a tiny baby and as he has grown the leg has become twisted above and below his knee.

  • Pepis Refuge, Seville – victims of the weather again – Urgent Appeal

    Pepis Refuge hill 4 2013Jane Brian writes. ‘ This winter has for us been a wet one and as we showed on the website before,the mud that engulfed our patio and some of the dog pens has again invaded us. We have been advised that it has become dangerous as a huge piece is just waiting to come down and could destroy the house. As we use the house for injured dogs and dogs who have sterilisation opps this has become top priority.

    We own a large hill that is attached to the refuge and we feel this would be the only way we could safely continue our work. To make this possible we need your help.

  • Cheap Accommodation in Seville – bed but no breakfast!

    Prodeanse galga 250 1 22 10 2012Another galga and babies who had a tough time, these are in Alcala del Rio, Seville. Luckily someone spotted the mom living in a tunnel with her 9 babies, and contacted Prodeanse, who got on with the rescue. The volunteer needed to crawl into the tunnel to get the babies, which she brought out in a shopping bag. They are all safe now, but foster homes are desperately needed, and eventual adoption homes. Contact Prodeanse. (English spoken)
