‘You think you have seen it all and then a dog like this arrives and breaks your heart all over again. Thank you to the kind person who didn’t just drive on past her. She has sustained serious trauma to the head, the most serious injury of which is a fractured skull. The injuries have happened a few days ago and the wounds are infected and there were maggots in them. The vet has cleaned up the wounds and administered pain killers, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics and she does have an IV to keep her hydrated. Obviously she will loose both of her eyes. We will see how she gets on over night.

Galgos 112 – saving Ibizan podenco Sucre
It’s a wonder this poor podenco still had the strength to stand. Luckily he is now with Galgos 112 and receiving veterinary care to heal his body and soul. Here’s what Galgos 112 say about him.
‘Sucre is exhausted and weak. His condition is lousy, severe malnutrition and ulcers on all the pressure points on his bones. We are waiting for his blood analysis bu his anaemia is evident. He’s also dehydrated. He still has the strength to move around and respondes to each caress and gesture of love. He has suffered a lot in his young life.

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