IDOD Dog Walk – more pix
IDOD Dog walk in France 17 04 2011 – David’s photos on the 6.5 km walk – well, it was a bit longer than that, but I thought if I said so, people wouldn’t walk it! About 30 dogs and owners walked this route along lanes and tracks around St Pardoux, where we live.

IDOD Dog Walk – walking lanes & tracks in France for rescued dogs in Spain
International Day of the Dog is now into its 6th year, always on the last Sunday in April. 2011 so happens to also be Easter Sunday, so I held my fundraising IDOD Dog Walk a week early on 17th April. The sun shone brightly on St Pardoux with over 50 dogs and their loving owners turning up for a leisurely stroll along the delightful lanes and tracks which surround this small village in Western France, where I live.

Scooby Auction – donations needed before 15 May – please help
Dear friends,
It is hard to believe that this year will be our 3rd Scooby North America Auction. Actually, we are having 2 auctions this year. One in June and another in December. In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.

Dying in Seville, save galgo lives in Seville
Spain, how proud and arrogant are your Royal House, your politicians! You turn your eyes away from the facts of life in your country. You acclaim your historic churches, cities, olympic villages. And yet you ignore the struggles for life which go on along your streets, in the countryside, stories which the world reads, pictures it sees on the Internet. You leave it to the volunteers who care, who pick up the detritus discarded by your hunters, ignored by those who close their eyes and walk by. Here is one such case, Loli tells it in her own words….

Irish embassies in several countries. This has had some affect on the
Department of Agriculture, which very recently received a formal proposal
from the Irish Greyhound Board to consider the China project. -
Burgos perrera, white galgo on death row – Seville, Mama galga and 8 puppies, anyone help?
In Spanish history, the White Galgo was revered – it was second in importance only to the birth of a son. There was even a Royal Medal awarded to the white galgo. How they have fallen. This white beauty is in the Burgos perrera, awaiting a painful death. If you have room for him, please contact laura@adoptanos.com
