  • Animales Rioja – land needed which doesn’t flood – please sign appeal.

    You will have read below about Animales Rioja having to move their 70+ dogs out of their rescue area because of severe flooding and non-stop rain. Their dogs are all fostered and boarded out in kennels, which they have to pay for. They are asking their local Town Council for help with a new piece of ground. Please sign this petition and share it as widely as possible for them.

    I just signed the petition “Ayuntamiento de Logroño: Cesion de terreno para crear un refugio para Animales Rioja” Our goal is to reach 15,000 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here

    I know you can do it! The ban gassing petition achieved over 70,000 in a week!

  • Martin Usborne, photographer and author, visits the galgos of Malaga

    Charl Carly perrera 250 1 2013Last summer I received the following email.

    ‘My name is Martin Usborne. I am a dog lover and professional photographer from London. I’ve recently decided to take a year out from earning to help animals, in particular dogs, and intend to write a book about my experience. I’ve just come back from India where I’ve been working with stray dogs. I want to ask the question: what happens if you drop everything and decide to follow your heart?

    I can’t get the horrible pictures of the poor rejected galgos out of my head and wanted to double check if there was anything I could do as I believe January is the time of year when they suffer most. If you think I might be able to visit Spain on a short trip and write about the issue and if possible participate in some hands on rescue please let me know.’

  • Portugal Dog Rescue – Galga Estrela’s rescuers need help

    Portugal dog box 250 2 2013Do you remember the story of Estrela, the galga in Portugal suffering at the hands of an alcoholic an drug addict wife? Teresa de Sousa and her team did an incredible job rescuing Estrela, another galga, and their puppies. Teresa badly needs funds to build some kennels to keep sick dogs separate from the healthy ones. She needs 350 euros – not a fortune. Please help her achieve her goal. Here are the details, you can donate by Paypal or credit card.

    Update on Estrela. She is doing well in foster care, EU passport prepared, and it looks like she is going to come to me in France for temporary foster en route for her forever home in the UK. Teresa and Ines thank you all for your donations which helped them save the lives of the two galgas and their puppies.

  • OUTRAGEOUS! Andalucia Junta authorizes hunters to beat dogs to death!! Protest NOW!

    IMMEDIATE CESSATION of killing dogs in PUNTA UMBRIA (Huelva), Spain

    Created by: Observatory justice and defense Animal www.justiciaydefensaanimal.es, Spain

    The Junta de Andalucía has authorized beating to death of dogs by members of the society of hunters of Punta Umbria, to kill animals abandoned in the streets of Punta Umbria, Huelva. It is urgent to halt the killing.

    Pets abandoned to their fate are victims of the human carelessness and the lack of control measures by the Administration, which must always act in accordance with the legislation on animal protection imposed by the capture and handling of animals avoiding violent methods or that they pose harm to the animal.

  • Medina del Campo – 7 galgos suffocate to death in a hunting trailer!

    Hunting trailer 250 9 2012Last week, 7 galgos sufficated in a trailer during a hunting match in Medina del Campo! How is this possible? How can they suffocate in a trailer? How?? Think about that! Do they put them there on top of each other or what? How these poor dogs have to suffer is incredible! One Spanish volunteer speaks for all of us saying ‘this demonstrates how to you, nasty galgueros, the life of these creatures has the minimum value. Go to hell!’

    This is a note from an article on travelling dogs in trailers. I don’t think the galgueros have heard of this!

    ‘Safety regulations regarding animal transport are strict in Europ. They include laws regarding proper animal handling, regarding allowing the animal to have sufficient room and regarding making sure the animal is fed and watered regularly’

    The above photo was taken at a garage in Malaga, Spain, September 2012. Typical of the trailers used in Spain and France for transporting hunting dogs!
