  • Dog Rescue Holidays in Cadiz

    Dog Rescue Holidays galgos group 170Shaun recently wrote to me about Dog Rescue Holidays Cadiz, which developed from, as often happens if you live in Spain, rescuing abandoned dogs from the streets of Spain. Here he tells the story.

    ‘Over our 8 years here in Cádiz province we’ve picked up quite a few dogs from the streets and either rescued them ourselves or taken them to the local shelter and then, after seeing the great work they do up there, we decided to pitch in “at the weekends”.

  • Update on Eboli – badly injured galga, rescued by El Refugio Kimba

    Refugio Kimba Eboli carried 190Update on Eboli, rescued by El Refugio Kimba – badly injured on the road with part of a bumper embedded in her.

    Eboli is much better, on Tuesday 15/10 she will go to the vet again so they can remove the plate in the broken leg and start working on the rehabilitation. She is a wonderful galgo, despite the pain that she has suffered, she has never been bad with anyone, even when taking her medication. She is treated twice daily to help her skin recover; she lost most of the skin on her leg which also became infected.

    If you would like to help Eboli, here’s the link to the Refugio Kimba website. If my memory serves me right from when I was researching my galgo book, Kimba is the oldest animal shelter in Spain, originally set up to protect fauna and flora.
