Video of Operation Rehala, Bullas, Murcia, on 9th March 2012, taken by Pro-Setter. Rescue associations from across Spain joined together to rescue all these dogs. However, the bastard owner had already removed puppies and taken them to another site.

Reflections on the Bullas, Murcia, rescue on 9th March 2012 – 120 dogs
Regular readers will have been following the two large rescues carried out in Murcia in January and February 2012, namely at a gypsy camp with 74 dogs, and Bullas with 120 dogs. Vivienne Wharton lives near Cartegena, Murcia and has written about her experiences with the Bullas rescue on 9th March 2012.
The shame in Spain
I recently started my activities in a facebook group – Animal Welfare Support Murcia, whilst waiting for my Association, Actin, to be registered by the Town Hall. Actin – Animal Care Treatment International Network is not a rescue charity but an Association which will endeavor to make changes to the overwhelming situation of abandoned and neglected dogs, cats and other domestic animals in the region. We plan to do this through many activities including education and campaigns.

Gerena, Seville – abandoned podenco desperately needs help
This podenco is on the outskirts of Gerena, Seville. It’s about 12 kg and very young, is wounded in its neck by the wide collar on it, which has a bell!. It’s huddling under these large sones out of the heat. Scared, it hides in the hush when approached. There is a girl putting food out to try and gain its trust – she’s called the dog Campanillo. An extra problem, if he can’t be caught soon, is that he will grow and the collar will cut into the flesh of its neck.
Is there anyone, especially an association, in the area who could help catch this podenco? Contact: natisabe@hotmail.com

Fuerteventura – top accommodation, sea views, great food!
Ok, so now you’ve had the horror of Bullas, the gypsy camp also in Murcia, La Bienvenida refuge at Ciudad Real (got to lose 150 dogs as being moved to a smaller site) and now it’s the turn of the Canary Islands. Have you been there on holiday? Bet you haven’t seen this, on Fuerteventura! 200 dogs! Here’s a translation.
PUERTO DEL ROSARIO (FUERTEVENTURA), 7 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Protectora of Animals and Plants of Fuerteventura “OKAPI” has made an urgent desperate appeal for help to save 200 dogs that are on the verge of starvation, in the municipal perrera. Whilst trying to find a new facility in which to develop their work, the situation is hopeless, because there are not even the resources to continue feeding the animals. They need urgent adoption, sterilization and, above all, collaboration to clean and feed the animals, in addition to financial support or donations of food for animals.

Bullas, Murcia – podencos rescued and now safe
Viv Wharton of Animal Welfare Support Murcia was one of the dozens of volunteers who travelled to Bullas, Murcia, on 9th March 2012, to help in the rescue of over 70 dogs remaining of the 120 in the compouund. This photo is of a few of them, relaxing in safety. Here’s what Viv says about the day.
‘Not an easy day at Bullas but nonetheless successful with the rescue of 8 Podencos. Not easy as we saw first hand how hard those decisions were; great work Little Pod Foundation and Podenco Friends and the volunteers; Little Pod Foundation who were responsible for undertaking the rescue of these pods were professional but passionate and I have great admiration for them.
