This is poor Greta. She was picked up in the countryside, with very deep ugly wounds. She has been taken under the protection of GatoPerro, and they will pay all her Veterinary expenses.

Greta will be for adoption as soon as she is fit and healthy. She will be sterilised, chipped, tested for all Mediterranean diseases and fully vaccinated.

She is in currently in Chiclana, Cadiz but will be able to travel wherever there is a perfect family for her.

Meanwhile, any donations would be very gratefully received to help Greta via Bizum on: 622 116 975,

This is the second of the 3 podencos which arrived with Bev Farmer, Theo came with Carmela.

Theo .. new arrival.

He is one of the three that arrived on Monday a smaller Podenco only 9 kilos already very much settled in.

On his visit to vets for bloods etc Bruno also does a thorough check of him. Then the words he has luxation of the patella but not one both of them. So it looks like Theo will be with us for a few months he needs surgery on both knees and then rehab. At the moment he is racing around but left will cause him problems in the future.

Not what we expected but thank goodness my vets are on the ball .. It’s been a challenging week all 4 of the new arrivals need additional veterinary care .. Will be keeping me busy the next few weeks

This is was the skinniest of the three poor dogs as you can see from the photos he is malnourished however we are working hard to remedy this and he is already much more comfortable.

Chance has had his blood tests back and it relieved he has leishmaniasis so we are treating and getting this condition under control. Once under control it doesnt hinder daily life and controlled can be maintained with an inexpensive tablet. He is a sweet boy and will make a lovely addition.

Now we have the gorgeous Chase. If you look closely you can see this handsome boy had a heart-shaped nose. They are all very sweet natured dogs and it’s appalling that they arrived so poorly. We have just had confirmation that he has heartworm, ehrlicia and Leishmania. We will of course be giving him treatment but this is a lot for his body to go through and much can be prevented easily.

Coco. Isn’t he just a sweetheart? He has had his tests and he has come back positive for heartworm which of course he will be treated for. So glad that these 3 are in a safe place with us to start down the road to recovery now we know what each of their issues are.

We will continue to publish their progress and if you wish to register your interest in adoption when they are ready then you can drop an email to akirashelter@aol.com.

Star is a gorgeous young podenca, currently with Akira Animal Sanctuary and hoping for a forever home soon. Contact Akira if you are interested in her. Read the info on this weblink.

At the end of April 3 podencos were surrendered to the Shelter.

These 3 doggies were surrendered to Akira. They are definitely in the best place now as when they arrived they were covered in fleas and ticks but they have been treated so should start to feel better soon. They have been given good food and shown love and tenderness.

We will be working to feed them up and make them healthy as you can see they are underweight as well. They are very sweet natured dogs despite their condition. We will keep you updated on their journey and hopefully they will soon be ready to search for their very own forever home.

We have called them Coco, Chance and Chase.

From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria.

‘Today it was once again the turn of the youngest of GRA to go on a vet visit. Freya’s babies got another check-up and their latest vaccinations. Since the little ones were born on February 3 and are not yet 12 weeks old, it was still too early for their rabies vaccination. We have made a new appointment for next week. In the meantime everyone got his / her name.’

Galgo’s Rescue Almeria desperately needs funds to pay for all the vaccinations and pet passports for these little babies. Please donate and help.

A recent rescue.

‘Two young podenco types. Thank you to their finder, Jill, for feeding them and keeping them safely enclosed in a fenced area. Also thank you to SOS Rescue who kindly assisted to catch them using a large trap. It is a pleasure to work with you knowing the dogs will be safely caught with minimum stress and secured properly for transport.

Sadly we are being asked to help more and more feral dogs. Dogs that have been left abandoned in the streets and campo…They arrive full of parasites and often with preventable diseases. Sometimes they are second generations as breeding is not control.
These dogs do not lead a ‘happy and free life’ as some people would like to believe. Life is a struggle for survival and sooner or later they are taken by disease or die on the roads.

Rehabilitation of these dogs takes time, knowledge and of course money.

To donate,
