Podencos galgore at Pepis Dog Refuge – please help feed them

Hunting hounds galore being abandoned or handed in to Pepis Dog Refuge! Galgos by their hunters, podencos thrown over the fence or abandoned at the gates! These two little beauties arrived earlier in the year, Lulu was thrown over the fence in March and badly injured her leg but when I visited the refuge in September she had made a wonderful recovery. Whilst I was at the refuge we collected 4-month old Vero, lost and injured in the village. Then another little pup abandoned at the gate, another podenco sitting waiting at the gates, and another young one badly in need of feeding! Sadly there isn’t room for him so Jane is leaving food out in the hope that he will hang around until they can squeeze him in. It’s heartbreaking for them.

Now we are in the countdown to Christmas, please consider ways you can help Pepis and feed the dozens of hounds there. Buy your gifts from the many high street stores through Easyfundraising, buy some Christmas cards, join the teaming group. Or simply send them a donation. Every little helps, especially in this time when the exchange rate to euros has dropped! That means Pepis income has dropped, through no fault of their own.

Here are some of the new arrivals.
