3 days to go – Why David’s jumping out of an aeroplane!
WHY am I jumping out of an aeroplane over the sea? I’ll tell you why………
I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My love of Greyhounds, and subsequently Levriers and Galgos started in England when an abandoned greyhound turned up at our home early one morning, and never left.
I’m passionate about anything to do with dogs and their welfare, and when my wife Beryl started “Galgo News” in November 2007, and later “Podenco Post” I was happy to support her work any way I could. Inevitably my support was largely passive as she built a vast network of global contacts trying to make a difference to the plight of the poor dogs of Spain.

Prodeanse, Seville – Galga Nieves fighting to survive the abuse of a galguero
I visited Prodeanse shelter when I was in Seville last year. The team work to help dogs in a very bad area for abandonment and cruelty. This is their story of Nieves.
SEVILLA / / Nieves… Rescued from the Cerro de Dos Hermanas
Nieves gave birth to her 9 puppies on the morning of the 27 June.
She was treated with amoxicillin/clavulamico (antibiotic), meloxican (anti-inflammatory) and a vitamin complex since she was rescued. On July 1 she went to the vet as an emergency. -
Pepis Refuge, Pedrera, Seville – can you help feed a galgo?
Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, are appealing for help to feed their galgos and for fosterers and adopters. Besides galgos, they have podencos and other adorable residents including a dalmation. They all need feeding.
Could you feed a galgo? Simply click on the link below to help feed Dina, Richardo and Maneta, for starters. You can donate a sum via Pepis website too.
Is there a rescue/rehoming association who could find placements for their dogs, many of whom were dumped on them as puppies and have spent most of their lives in kennels?

DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! Please sponsor him
DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! WHY?
To raise funds for Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville.
When? TUESDAY, 23rd JULY 2013
Where? LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
He needs to raise 6,000 euros.
It will cost 5,000 euros to fence an area of land where the refuge can relocate to the top of the hill above the house and kennels, which have been engulfed in mud slides over winter. The house is now declared unsafe to live in.
It will cost 1,000 euros to buy a new electricity generator – their last one died and they are struggling. They can’t use power tools and the refuge does not have sufficient electricity for the day to day running of the refuge. They have a small generator which powers some of the lights at night. At the moment, the nights are light – what will happen in winter with short days and long dark nights?
