Pronto is a 9 year old black Podenco x languishing in the SARA shelter on Lanzarote. Lola in the middle above is 12 years old. It’s a very hard life for hunting dogs in the Canary Islands and their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe. They are 2 of a dozen beautiful podencos who are the ‘invisible’ ones on Lanzarote, most only 2 or 3 years old. Don’t let them spend all their lives in a shelter.. Click down this weblink to see them all. Pictures below.

On Sunday 1st February there were peaceful marches in over 80 European cities to protest that the Animal Protection Law does not include Spain ‘s hunting dogs, who suffer terrible maltreatment at the hands of the galgueros.

Pray for the thousands of galgos which will be abandoned today – in perreras, in the campo, in towns…starving, sick, injured…and for the volunteers who work tirelessly to help them.

While Spain continues to exclude hunting dogs from basic protection under national law, EU-level legislation and enforcement could ensure these dogs are finally protected across all Member States.
On Tuesday 27th January the European Parliament in Brussels hosted an important event to raise awareness about the cruel treatment of Spanish hunting dogs and the need for protection. Director, Maite van Gerwen, was one of the speakers. She shared insights on the new EU regulation on the welfare of dogs and cats and explained how these rules could bring significant improvements for hunting dogs. (more…)
