    ARAY FOR RESPONSIBLE ADOPTION

    ARAY is a very sociable little dog with dogs and shy with people, but little by little he will improve

    He is suitable for cats

    He is young, almost one year old, medium-sized, and weighs about 15 kilos.

    ARAY is very friendly, fun, and loves to play with other dogs

    He is learning to walk on a leash

    Can you help us find a family for him?

    We are looking for a family that lives outside urban areas, he is still afraid of car noises and crowds of people.

    We are looking for a family that already has a dog at home, he needs a dog to copy.

    ARAY is available for adoption, vaccinated, tested, sterilized, and with his chip

    REJECT HUNTERS

    If you want to meet him, leave a WhatsApp on the phone 679 24 10 95 (no audios, nor calls)

  • Salva un Podenco Gran Canaria – podenco rescue on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

    “Save a Podenco in Gran Canaria” is an animal shelter run by volunteers. Since 2017, we have been dedicated to the rescue, protection, and raising awareness about Podencos. Because they are used for hunting, Podencos are excluded from current animal protection laws, which makes it very difficult to help them.

    We rescue them, find them foster homes, and prepare them to be happy; to have a family that lasts them a lifetime. (more…)

  • Podenca Princessa hoping for a forever home in her twilight years

    No photo description available.

    Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.

    This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
    At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…)

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – end of a busy year

    Video

    2025 is slowly closing its doors and making room for a new chapter: 2026.

    The past year was one of ups and downs. We faced unexpected setbacks and intense emotions, but also countless beautiful moments, shared with the special dogs who crossed our path. It was a hectic year that flew by, yet one we look back on with warm and grateful hearts.

    We think back to all the D-days: those unforgettable moments when our beloved dogs packed their bags to meet their new families. No fewer than 177 dogs found their happiness this year. A result we could only dream of, and one that was made possible thanks to our amazing partners: Associazione ZAC Odv , Un Levriero per la Vita, Project Galgo, Vegrennen EV, Simona Norkute (Lithuania), Helping Animals Almanzora, Friends of Mazarrón Animals, Stichting Wereldhonden, and of course you—our loyal supporters. By sharing their stories so widely, you helped give each of them a new future. (more…)
