Pet Blook Bank UK – canine donors needed
Our stocks of negative blood are at critical levels. This means we need to collect more blood from dogs with a negative blood type, as it can be given to any dog in an emergency. We have over 750 negative blood typed donors in our pack. If each of these dogs donated once before the end of this year, we’d have more than enough blood to help every vet and dog in need
If your dog is a negative, please consider booking an appointment at a donation session near you soon. We really need you and your wonderful dog to come along and make a lifesaving difference. (more…) -
Results of the CMA investigation into UK vet fees
This https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/other/vets-could-be-made-to-cap-prescription-prices-after-uk-watchdog-investigation/ar-AA1OuEG0?ocid=UE01DHP&pc=UE01&cvid=68ef8de2ba024086bb93f96e9b3d65ee&ei=27&fbclid=IwY2xjawNi8F9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHnOoo6DQtItvm1-4eyNZT0SR7Au0fSs27fprqBhT1ywTka3VNzo9YE6GCw1h_aem_tJIvZ_X4mIuXvEmRJSu_uQweblink will take you to the results of the CMA investigation into the exhorbitant charges most UK vets require for their services. The high charges have resulted in a large number of pet owners either self medicating their pets or giving up their pets, because speculative companies have bought out vet businesses. Having said that, the vets are at fault too – I feel – because they have put their profits before the care of animals in need.

Hope for Podencos – Lucky needs foster or adoption for 22nd November
Lucky
Date of Birth: 26th May 2022
Gender: Male
Size: 55cm (to the withers)/23kg
Cats: Not suitable for catsLucky is known as the velcro dog – he LOVES people, and does do well with both men and women when he first meets them. He’s happy when out and about on walks and doesn’t pull on the lead. He had previously been adopted in Spain but was a little anxious and sensitive around the man in the home so whilst we don’t want to rule out any potential matches we would need to caveat that any men in the home would need to work at his pace and be understanding to any nervousness displayed. Lucky prefers female dogs and would happily live with one or two. Alternatively we think he would also do well as an only dog.
Lucky could live in a town or rural setting, but he does need a garden as he enjoys being outside having a play with his doggy pals.
Lucky is a little over his ideal weight so a weight management plan would be shared with any potential adopters/fosters – this is not causing any health concerns for the vet.

Podenco Antonio hoping for an active forever home
Antonio Video
Antonio is a beautiful 2 year old Podenco male with a gentle disposition. Antonio was found on the streets of Fuerteventuras. Despite his past, he shows himself to be an extremely human, affectionate and friendly dog. Antonio is full of energy because of course he wants to seize the opportunity to show off on the chain when one finally comes by. The young male has a distinctive personality and needs both mental and physical exercise. Even when dealing with other dogs Antonio shows himself social and uncomplicated – a real treasure who just wants to belong. Now he only lacks one thing: a loving home where he can arrive and show what a wonderful companion he is. Who will give Antonio a chance at a new life full of love and security?If you fell in love with Antonio, then please fill out the interest form here.

URGENT ACTION needed from all SPANISH ANIMAL RESCUE ASSOCIATIONS
From Plataforma NACURGENT: MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION – MANIFESTING SAME DOGS SAME RIGHTS – Stick with your organization!.As you will know, they want to exclude hunting and working dogs from the royal decree of zoos nucleus their last hope of being protected. These dogs would be even more unprotected in a royal decree issued from agriculture that would only require registration, identification and a little more. Reporting the poor condition of the handrail would be even harder. -
12 October, start of the Spanish hunting season
October 12, marks the beginning of the hunting season and with it, the terrible countdown for thousands of greyhounds and hunting dogs in Spain. Once again, these noble animals, used and exploited, face an uncertain fate: abandonment, mistreatment, or death when they cease to be useful for hunting. The cycle of abuse is repeating. Countless innocent lives are already sentenced. Behind every specimen of breeding, there is a potential discard. Enough with the abuse and systematic neglect.It is urgent and necessary to put an end to uncontrolled breeding and the cruel discardment of greyhounds and hunting dogs. They deserve respect, love and an existence free of suffering, not mere tools to use and throw away.Follow us, support us and join us for the end of the hunt: https://linktr.ee/plataformanac -
PACMA, SEPRONA & UCOMA meet to discuss the hunting dogs of Spain
On October 2nd, we held a very important meeting in Madrid with SEPRONA (National Service of the Environment) and the Central Operational Unit for the Environment (UCOMA) of the Civil Guard. I was accompanied by Eva Ramos, legal advisor for PACMA, and our objective was clear: to demand more resources, more inspections, and a greater commitment to protecting hunting dogs.
We met with Major General Carlos Sarrión, head of SEPRONA, and several representatives from UCOMA to address a reality we can no longer ignore: the neglected situation faced by thousands of dogs used for hunting in Spain. (more…)
