From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria
‘A few weeks ago we started a new project, creating some extra sleeping places. Everything is ready, only the awning need to be installed. We can be proud of the result, we were only able to realise this thanks to the generous help and support of Greyhounds in Need. Many many thanks.’
FAUDA – Federation of United Associations for the Defence of Animals – on Gran Canaria recently supported the Campaign against hunting dogs being exclused from the Animal Protection Act.
Susana Griso joins the campaign so that hunting dogs are not excluded from the Animal Protection Act. It is unacceptable that dogs who are the most vulnerable are left out of the law that should protect them.

We don’t think of torrential rain in the Canary Islands, it being so close to Africa. But this is a recent appeal from the ADA shelter. Luckily some local people came forward and offered to help with cleaning, painting etc.
‘We did our best but with the torrential rains of these days, our shelter unfortunately suffered some damage. We need help from anyone who wants to collaborate, in any way you want! Donations of financial or material, labor, companies that want to help collaborate, foster homes… any help will be appreciated, anything so that our Gonzo doesn’t get wet again if it rains!

A house dog…. A hunting dog. Spot the difference?! ALL dogs need legal protection.
The Spanish government wants to exclude hunting dogs from the new animal protection laws.
Please speak out for the abused hunting dogs of Spain. They are the very same dogs as pet dogs! The same sentient beings who deserve to be cared for and who have rights to a good life. They need to be protected by the same laws.
Same Dogs. Same Law.
Find the 7 differences! If you don’t see any, it’s because THERE ARE NONE.
Let it be heard loud and clear: SAME DOGS, SAME LAW. It couldn’t be more obvious!
URGENT TRANSIT.
WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP!
He was beaten in a village because he was looking for food, Seprona arrived, picked him up and took him to Imusa – another hell for Rosario’s dogs. Transport urgently needed to get him out of there and to a vet.
Rosario is in Fuerteventura, Las Palmas Province, Canary Islands – not many rescue associations there!!

Dogs used in hunting are not second-hand dogs
The lawyer specializing in Animal Law, Dulce Aguilera, explains in this short video the reasons why hunting dogs should not be excluded from the Animal Protection Act. Conducts an excellent legal exposition that is also full of common sense. She is one of the biggest legal advocates of greyhounds, podencos, and in general all dogs intended for hunting (also obviously of other animals). We recommend your viewing.
Gal From Galgos del Sur, we ask the PSOE of Pedro Sanchez not to exclude hunting dogs from the future Animal Protection, Rights and Welfare Act.
To avoid this, we will use all the measures that are within our reach and provided by the legal order. Listen to our lawyer Dulce Aguilera from the office of Justice- Animals & Environment

It’s especially important to let blind dogs sniff as that is how they find their way around.
From Protectora Scooby.
‘We are launching educational project. Targeted at school centres and AMPAS, we will work on the importance of properly relating to our dogs and understanding how they “talk” to us, fundamental to bite prevention. Call or write and we’ll give you more information.’
