29/10 – Meet Samwell, who was thrown over the fencing into a perrera and urgently needs our help. Jenny is trying to get him out asap (dogs are usually not released before the 21 days are over). He looks so fragile and in need of medical care. Fingers crossed!!

30/10 – Good news for Samwell! Because he is so unwell, the perrera has agreed to let him go into foster, poor little man will stay with Jenny for the night and arrive at Tanamera Rescue tomorrow. Come on boy, be strong and you will be loved for the first time in your life!!

28 10 2020. Thank you to the boy’s.. Eduardo, Bruno and Jose of Eduardos pets for today. After talking with them this morning they asked for me to bring Esca in to the Clinic.. We were there 2 hours, she had an ultrasound xrays blood tests and we discussed the results.

Ultrasound confirmed the pups are active with a good strong heartbeat and looks like she has 5 pups one been quite big. Xrays also showed 4/5 pups but possibly 1 more hidden from view. The large pup they checked the size of the head to Escas pelvis and should be ok..

She has tested positive for Anaplasma we can’t start her on Doxycycline it can damage the development of the puppies bones so have to wait until they are weaned. She will probably pass it onto them via the placenta but it’s treatable once the pups are old enough.

Waiting for lab results for leishmania

She is anemic and has low platelets which affect the blood clotting.

Kidney & liver function good

‘A couple of days ago we received a request for help for this precious little podenquita called Light. Luz was found at night lying in the gutter near the football field of a town in Jaén She couldn’t walk since she has two fractured front legs. She was admitted waiting for surgery to put plates on both legs. It has a good yet expensive forecast. Hopefully she can walk again soon and, after a few months of cures and rehabilitation, she will fully recover.

We’re asking for your help to pay the costs of the Light operation again. If you can collaborate even if only with little, for us and for Luz it will be a great help. We’ll be giving news of their evolution.

Thank you so much in the name of Luz!

From Sandy at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria.

This is the story of a little podenco, named Estrella. Like most podencos she was born in a dirty and dark typical hunter environment. Being born as a podenco in Spain usually means a bleak future perspective, a hard, ruthless and merciless life. A “life” of hunger and thirst, of cold and deprivation. To survive and get some food, you have to be the best hunter to please your owner.

This fragile little girl was born with ataxia, it means part of the brain that control stability was not developed. Because of her instability she was useless.

Luckily Estrella was saved by Antonio at the age of 2 months. She’s a lucky girl, she can have the chance to grow up in a better world and have a future that many “normal”podencos can only dream of.
