FREE TO A GOOD HOME: 2 year old child. Genuine reason, I’ve just got a new puppy so no longer have the time for the child. Also worried the child may bite the puppy. Child is crate trained and up to date on all shots. Needs home by tomorrow or it’ll be put to sleep. Thanks! YOU WOULDN’T DO THIS TO A CHILD SO WHY DO U SEE IT AS ACCEPTABLE TO DO IT TO A DOG? If you can’t dedicate 15yrs to a dog, don’t get one!! ;-)..
I’ve received this emailfrom Gran Canaria. Please can any associations who have time, respond to the writer.
HI My name is Jovita, I´m a member and volunteer with two NGO related to animals: AUXILIOANIMAL.ORG AND ADOPTAUNAAMIGOENGRANCANARIA.ORG. We are trying to find information about abandoned galgos in Spain and the situation now.
You will remember the story of Esperanza, the badly beaten galga rescued from a garbage bin and being rehabilitated by El Albergue. They have sent an appeal for help to pay vet fees for a little puppy with a broken leg, dying at the side of the railway. It’s not a galgo or podenco, but if you have it in your heart to donate towards the vet fees to help this little soul recover, please click on Donar
Here’s the story. If you go to ‘Translate’ at the top right hand side, you can choose your language.
Do you remember the story of the hanged galga saved by Letitia and taken to the home of Cristina, vice president of L’Europe des Levriers? Here is the latest news about her.
She is now called “Campanilla” (Bell in Spanish) and she lives in home in Cristina in Madrid. It is the poor galga who was hanged and Leti found wandering the streets of a village near Toledo. The rope had cut her neck under the trachea and she was suffering from severe malnutrition. The veterinarian of Toledo did an excellent job of repairing her wounds to pepare her for transporting to a Madrid clinic where Cristina could look after her. She remained there a week and last Monday she went to Cristina’s home.

HOW TO REPORT A SUSPECTED CASE OF ANIMAL CRUELTY
August 2011
There are increasing numbers of animal cruelty cases and people who come across them, often don’t know how to make an official complaint (denuncia) to the police. Seprona, the environmental arm of the Guardia Civil, has given the Costa Animal Society this set of guidelines on what to do.
There are laws to protect animals from cruelty. They cannot complain when they food food or water, no shade from the sun or rain, or have been tied up on a short chain and then forgotten.
But we can speak for them. Please help.
1. Go to your local Civil Guard bas (Guardia Civil cuartel) Neither the local police nor the National Police handle complaints of this kind.
2. Take as much written information with you as you can. Names, addresses and a map showing where the animal is will help officers easilly to investigate your complaint. .
3. If you don’t speak Spanish, get someone who does to go with you otrcontact your local animal welfare society for help or information.
4. The Guardia Civil will give you a copy of the denuncia, and their copy will be given to Seprona for investigation-
5. Only Seprona will investigate
6. With your copy of the denuncia, it can be followed up later.
Thanks to Costa Animal Society, Nerja, for this information
The animal shelters in Europe are really feeling the effects of the recession and financial crisis. Scooby Medina is one of the oldest and largest animal rescue association in Spain, and now they are in crisis. Here is the news from their website as of 12th August 2011. Link to their Facebook Auction here
Critical Situation at Scooby
Dear Friends,
The situation at Scooby is absolutely desperate. Our shelter is completely full with 500 dogs and our adoptions have decreased significantly due to the economic crisis. We urgently need to rehome our animals.
The ever resourceful galgueros are always coming up with ideas of how to maltreat their loyal and long-suffering galgos L’Europe des Levriers reports on two cases which will make you weep for the pain these poor galgos suffered.
A miracle – recently two galgas managed to find their way to a shelter while they were dying. No doubt attracted by the smell of the food for the dogs, they walked a long way, under extreme suffering, relying on their survival instincts.
