Take a holiday – work as a volunteer in a Spanish animal shelter
On my trips to Spain, it never ceases to amaze me at the dedication of the wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly on behalf of the abandoned dogs and cats of Spain and the Spanish islands. And I am always impressed by the good condition of the animals (obviously counting out those just rescued or with medical problems and needing treatment), and the dogs are generally so happy. Anything has to be better than life on the streets or at the hands of uncaring owners.

Near Jumilla – abandoned – Old Galgo needs rescuing from life on the streets –
How long has this poor old boy been wandering? It’s the beginning of September, the last hunting season finished 7 months ago and the next one is about to begin. And still throughout the summer the volunteers have been working to take galgos off the streets.
This old boy is nervous but since he appeared in this neighbourhood, 6km from Jumilla, on 25th August, food and water have been left out for him. Now these people are going away on holiday, who will take in this galgo? He has to have wet food because he cannot chew. He is very tired, does not go far. He is in grave danger of being taken by the gypsies again, suffering mistreatment.
Can anyone take him in?
He’s been named Perrete.

Time to Take Action – Join the Fight for the Animals of Catalonia
I know this isn’t about galgos and podencos, but my other lifelong passion is horses, I have ridden most of my life and still have 2 of my horses here with me in France. Please take the time to put a message on the WSPA website to protest about bullfighting in Catalonia, to protect both the bulls and the horses used by these vile men in the name of ‘entertainment and sport’. The animals don’t see it like that!
