Restabal, Grenada, Spain, can anyone help these starving dogs
Calling everyone involved in animal rescue in Andalucia. I’ve just received the following message from Scooby Medina who unfortunately are much too far away to be able to help these dogs. Can anyone go and rescue them?
‘Hello,
I am hoping you may be able to help me, I have just returned to the United States from a short trip to the Grenada region. We rented a house in the rugged countryside south of Grenada called the Lecrin Valley, we were nearest the small village of Restabal, not far from Durcal. -
Sofie, galga from Badajoz, facial rebuild a success! Off to America
You remember Sofie, the galga abandoned in Badajoz earlier in the year, whose lower jaw was brutally smashed by some sadistic person. We’ve followed her progress under the care of volunteer Silvia and her vet, as the galga had her jaw rebuilt. In another 2 weeks she will be winging her way across the Atlantic ocean to her forever home in America under the guardianship of GRIN. Read her story and see the latest amazing pictures of this survivor. Isn’t she beautiful?

Starving & dying galgos and puppies – Cuencanimal need help with vet fees
And another story of galgos and some other breeds found in appalling conditions. This is the story from Cuencanimal.
We request your assistance because, whilst looking for land to be able to finally build a refuge supported by several rescuer associations, we found a awful case. Some 27 dogs in a regrettable state, there are several deaths from malnutrition among the pups, and there are animals with mange, wounds, you cannot imagine….
We do not have a refuge, and that’s why we cannot assume this case alone. We took out 2 pups, one of them died because of weakness.

Mary, a young podenca rescued in Alhaurin, Spain, desperately needing help
A picture of sheer unadulterated terror in the eyes of this little dog! Charl del Rio found her at a petrol station, lost, terrified, hungry. She managed to catch her, called her Mary as she is like a little lamb, and now tells the story.
‘I went to visit the galgo Charlie after his castration, and on the way home I stopped at the petrol station in Alhaurin, where I found this little lost soul, a baby podenco which looks like a little fox, COVERED in pinchy thorns… it was late, I got to the petrol station and thought ill put petrol in the car. I stopped walking and she came up behind me. At a distance I thought she was older than she was, but I then could see she was just a baby.

Pro-Galgo urgently need help – please donate
Does this break your heart or what? To see a beautiful affectionate loving galgo in this state! Luckily Pro-Galgo has come to his rescue. You can read his story and that of another galgo, plus a little Yorkie (whose owner died) on their website.
Pro-Galgo still has 5 of the 28 Jerez galgos in kennels, which costs, and now they have vet bills for these three dogs. They are out of funds. Please, if you can contribute towards any of these costs – 700 euros will cover the fees for microchipping, vaccination, castration – and a dental job on the Yorkie – donate through their website. However small the amount – even £10 or $10 or 10 euros – it will be greatly appreciated.
