Little Pod Association are working with a Spanish volunteer to help podencos and galgos in a terrible situation with a gitano in Murcia. Here is what Marie Stacey says about the situation, including the current rescue of 3 more dogs in a terrible state.

‘Our beautiful Verity and Diana were both resuced from a Gypsie in Valencia. We knew he had more dogs and a lovely lady has been working hard to get some more of the dogs released. He has just agreed to release 3 more. We are desperately trying to secure the release of another that looks really ill but at the moment he is saying no.

We will persevere with him but in the meantime these 3 need help. The ones being released are: The pure white female Podenco who is shy, The tan Podenco X who is a male and completely terrified and will not move, and a really old lady who is a brown and white Podenco. It is freezing cold there, the conditions are awful.

We need help finding a place for the tan male. We also need help with vet costs,… these dogs will need blood testing, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchips, passports and anything else that is found in their health checks. I am unaware of any serious injuries at this moment.

We desperately try not to ask for donations online but the charity shop is quiet and we couldn’t leave these dogs there. Any amount will be gratefully received. 3 dogs are out… They are safe… But they still need help…

And he won’t let the galgos go.
