Tale of a perrera dog – let it not be in vain
Vivienne Wharton lives in Murcia and is very involved in animal welfare with her two groups. Animal Welfare Support Murcia was her original group, on Facebook. Now through ACTIN she is working on trying to change the attitude of Spanish people towards animal abandonment, mistreatment, neutering, and she has written this article about the perreras – we call them killing stations – where hundreds of dogs are put to sleep every week. Her article was prompted by the unnecessary killing of a pointer – through Facebook he had been found a home, people to donate to his care – he was due to be rescued.
I know you, dear readers, will be very moved by the article. Please show your support for the work ACTIN do by joining and adding your support.

Malaga galga – foster home urgently needed
This young galga, about 6-8 months old, was picked up at a petrol station at Montoro (Cordoba) on the Madrid/Seville motorway! She was looking for food, hanging around the restaurant, whose staff confirmed it had been hanging around for a couple of weeks. She was very thin and, since being rescued, has spent a day and a half eating and sleeping! She’s in a foster home in Malaga but can’t stay there as the parents of the fosterer have said they will not have a dog in the apartment. So it’s urgent to find her a foster home and a forever family. She’s friendly and gaining in confidence. Please contact the fosterer Jesus. Tel. 608 590 685 and mail: ereduim 1@hotmail.com or Adela keu8@hotmail.com (Associations only)

Scooby – give Divino a home for Christmas, buy Scooby 2013 calendar
This lucky boy is Divino, now safe with Scooby. Cobie says ‘DIVINO: Another galgo abandoned, hit by a car and then taken to the Valladolid provincial perrera where they wanted him to go and play on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Thanks to Scooby, who took him this morning out of that perrera, this stunning boy is 2 years old and not fearful. Has many years to play on the good side of that bridge for many, many years!! For adoption, contact Scooby.
Also, what about buying a Scooby 2013 calendar or virtually adopting one of their dogs as a Christmas gift to someone. They care for a phenominal number of animals and need all the help they can get.

Galgo pups dumped in a skip – urgently need experienced foster mom.
We’ve read about the heartless Portuguese hunters taking newborn galgo babies away from their mothers and killing them, so the mothers can be sent hunting/racing again. These galgo babies are only a week old and were found in a skip in Villaverde del Rio, Seville!
Here’s the appeal. ‘These small left them abandoned in a container, told us, and when we arrived were so small!! do how can do this? It must be inhuman and have no heart…
We have nowhere to have them since they need to eat every hour and the people who we want to help are working and can not attend properly. We collected them last Friday, (2/11/2012) the weekend they were with a companion, on Monday with a paid host, but I can’t afford 10 euros/day it cost and already on Tuesday returned to collect them.
