    Puntanimals Esperanza 400 8 2023
    This is the story of Puntanimals Shelter in Umbria, yet another area bad for hunting dogs. (This stunner is Esperanza)

    ‘https://www.puntanimals.org/nuestra-historia/

    Puntanimals is a non-profit association created to help abandoned and mistreated animals. The idea was born from the hands of a fighter, animal lover who wanted his dream of helping those most in need to come true. We are located in the town of Punta Umbría (Huelva). Since before having the shelter, we already collected the animals that we found and we looked for a home where they were safe and had their needs covered. Officially we have been operating since 2011, it was when we decided to rent a place to be able to protect all the animals while we look for a definitive and responsible adoption for them.

    Sick and wounded galga safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    Sandy says ‘Another one who needs extra care and attention. Because of the heat and to keep the flies away from the wounds, she will stay with us in our house.

    Help and support needed please.

    Many times we take in galgos who need extra and special care. For them, a quieter environment is necessary to recover optimally.

    A new project is to build a new large kennel away from the main building besides the house. Hopefully we can realise our plans soon.

  • Abandoned scarred galga now safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    This girl was spotted along and in the middle of the motorway towards Los Lobos. A girl, Cristina Parra Sánchez, did not hesitate to stop the cars on this busy highway and try to save this poor soul. With a lot of patience she managed to gain her trust and was able to get her to safety. We picked her up and took her to the vet for a first checkup. Blood was immediately taken to test her for the most common Mediterranean diseases. The result was negative for Dirofilaria & Leishmania, unfortunately she tested positive for Erlichia (heartwork) & Anaplasma. We immediately started a course of doxycycline for 28 days. This beautiful girl, we named her Cristina after her saving Angel, is estimated to be 4 years old.

    Her body shows many scars but she isn’t emaciated, she must have been dumped not very long ago. ortunately, this is all a thing of the past, and she can look forward to a new and better future.

    We would like to thank Helping Animals Almanzora for helping Cristina with the medical expenses.
