  • Update on the starving, injured podenco

    Kate pod leg 2 170Update on Frank (as in frankfurters)/Hoppalong Doggity, Podihopper!

    ‘Thank you for the donation, very kind of you – on my behalf and on behalf of Hopalong Doggerty. He loathes the cheap dry dogfood – he’s very fussy, considering he was starving and on the streets – so I give him brown rice, boiled with carrots and some broth from my own vegetables till it’s soggy and with a whole tin of sardines added once it’s cooled. I don’t blame him about the dogfood – it’s rubbish. He no longer has diarrhoea. Trouble is, a tin of sardines costs 70 centimos. I got him a worm tablet yesterday and will give it to him later – forgot this morning.

  • Malaga and Seville – two podenco puppies in desperate situations

    Chiqui Malaga 190 2Every day I’m receiving appeals for podencos on death row in the perreras….but until podencos in residencias and refuges are adopted, there isn’t any room for the others. Heartbreaking. However, here are two young ones which need help.

    Little podenco puppy Chiqui was on the streets in Malaga. The dog catcher was going to get him but he has been rescued. However, donations are needed to pay for the residencia and also the vet for vaccinations. You can paypal donations here to Elena Elena Alonso is keeping me updated. The cost for him in residencia is 60 euros/month so let’s donate and keep him safe!

  • Cheap accommodation in Malaga

    Podencos abound in Malaga province and now the hunters are getting rid. There are 16 in Malaga perrera this week, all young ones.

    And I am told some of the ‘rescuers’ have created problems in the Valencia perrera – some of the podencos we donated to rescue last year are still in kennels till permission is given for them to be adopted.

    These are some of the podencos in Malaga perrera this week. Pray for them.

  • Sponsor a kennel, sponsor a piece of fencing, sponsor a bag of cement! 112carlotagalgos appeals

    Finca Bonita prison 190Many of the Spanish refuges and associations are very small, existing from month to month on donations, the local councils turning a blind eye to the problem of abandonment of dogs, even though by law they should provide a dog pound.

    112carlotagalgos is one such small association in Malaga. Charl del Rio has been working on behalf of the galgos and podencos in Spain for many years, latterly caring for traumatised, injured and sick dogs prior to rehoming. She’s also given talks in local schools about the problem of abandonment of dogs. Her dream has been to have an educational centre where children can visit and learn to respect animals and care for them, especially dogs. Now she hopes her dream is about to come true. But she needs your help. Here’s the story.
