Jaen, Spain – a hellhole for these podencos
Horrible what they’ve lived through, tied with short chains, all full of poop, a horrible smell and them, six bitches and a puppy, with ticks and fleas. Seprona has acted and we with little space and little means, we could not say NO and we have taken over. Two of them have a chip in the name of the person who had them and of course, he has handed them over, the others are without a chip.
Update 04-01 Three protectors take over all of them. We are so grateful that our message of help has been heard.. THANK YOU!! and to all of you who spread them.

Sad reality of life for an abandoned podenco in Spain
From Silvia Mateos to the Policia Local de Bejar (your duty is to protect her, and you have left her alone…. You should be suspended from work and pay.
Yesterday was a shitty day….. sadness, anger, helplessness and rage…. The incompetence and negligence of the municipal councils and municipal security forces spoils crime and costs the lives of living beings…. the podenco in the photo is DEAD.
On Friday on New Year’s Day in the middle of the night we get the notice of this dog hit near the roundabout of Palomares, the person who saw it gave notice to the Local Police of Bejar that at first they impersonated themselves and said they would warn the Civil Guard…. no further news…
At 00:40h I communicate with the Local Police of Bejar to ask about her and her situation to be able to help her…… They inform me that the dog is collected in some municipal offices in Béjar and that the next day they will notify the collection service of the Deputation….. i wonder how it is…. his literal response…. “The dog seems to have a major injury on a hind leg, externally she doesn’t have much blood but she’s very decayed, I don’t know she sees it well”. I insist again if they let us help her and her answer is that they have to follow the protocol , (more…)

Or if you are your family and want to adopt him do not hesitate to ask by whatsapp 649453007This is a desperate situation we have with a little angel named Dylan. He was rescued from the perrera and had suffered a lot but was a love nonetheless.. Currently in residence for almost 1 year.. the problem arises now that the residence is 150 dogs and we can no longer pay it because we have few sponsors. Desperately looking for sponsors to not change his residence where he is fully integrated and we hope he leaves already with an adopted family and not produce a trauma with a change to the poor angel… If anyone who might want to be Dylan’s sponsor please let me know and I’ll remind you that everything adds up… Thank youOpen this link to join my WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HWNz63mC9gh6Z8zm7cq4VC -
Galgos Rescue Almeria – end of a busy year
2025 is slowly closing its doors and making room for a new chapter: 2026.
The past year was one of ups and downs. We faced unexpected setbacks and intense emotions, but also countless beautiful moments, shared with the special dogs who crossed our path. It was a hectic year that flew by, yet one we look back on with warm and grateful hearts.
We think back to all the D-days: those unforgettable moments when our beloved dogs packed their bags to meet their new families. No fewer than 177 dogs found their happiness this year. A result we could only dream of, and one that was made possible thanks to our amazing partners: Associazione ZAC Odv , Un Levriero per la Vita, Project Galgo, Vegrennen EV, Simona Norkute (Lithuania), Helping Animals Almanzora, Friends of Mazarrón Animals, Stichting Wereldhonden, and of course you—our loyal supporters. By sharing their stories so widely, you helped give each of them a new future. (more…)
