  • Victims of the thunderstorms hitting southern Spain – seeking refuge at Pepis

    Galga podenco pod 250 1 11 2015This little podenca was found sheltering from the thunderstorms at the gates of Pepis Dog Refuge, along with the galga. Both cold and wet, Jane and Alan took them in, dried them off and settled them for the night. The hunter had cut the chip out of the galga’s neck before dumping her.

    Both hounds need vet checking, vaccinations etc as well as feeding, just 2 more to add to the 70+ dogs at the refuge. Please help feed them, every penny/euro/dollar goes to he dogs. Donate to pepis.dogrefuge@hotmail.co.uk.

    And to make matters worse, the torrential rain has meant that the 4×4 cannot make it up the drive to the Galgo centre and Jane and Alan’s mobile home. So Alan has to drag the gas bottle up!
