This is the beautiful Mama of two healthy Podenco puppies (male and female). They were rescued by Inma (Macu) in Seville and are in the shelter. They are two months old. The mother has a major infection in her ears, but she is already in veterinary treatment. Their names are Bimbo and Bimba.
Please, can you help me to spread about them? I’m the contact: carminalvarezrea@gmail.com
Nika’s neck is healing well, he leaves the vet hospital tomorrow – Tuesday – but no one has come forward to foster him. Please please, anyone within travelling distance of Valencia, please help!
The volunteer walked him for a little while, but he is still very afraid of everything. He needs a house to recover, cures and give him medicatio. If he has to go to the shelter, it is not the best place to recover If anyone can host please call me 645985775 Maribel Martinez Moya
Many 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.
You will remember the post recently about three podencos found hung, and shot. Here is another podenco, was he a victim of hanging also, or has he spent years growing up on the end of a rope, which is the fate of thousands of podencos? Luckily he has been rescued, from Xativa, Valencia.
Podencos in Mairent due to be killed mid November. 40 euros to get them out, 50 euros to get them to Madrid and into kennels. |Narcisco, Maranta and Raiser (rough-haired) Can anyone help? from Ester

Do you remember these 3 terrified little babies, in Almeria perrera? There was confusion as to whether and which associations had saved them. Sadly, one of them died, but the other two were saved and went to Levriers du Sud in France. So now, let me introduce you to Gasby, rehomed already. Thank you to everyone involved in giving him and his sibling a forever life.
APDDA is a Spanish association taking up the initiative on behalf of the millions of Spanish who abhor animal cruelty in any form in Spain.
What is it?
The ‘Parliamentary Association in Defence of Animals’ (APDDA), has no allegiance to any particular political trend and is made up of parliamentarians and former parliamentarians – representatives and senators – concerned about animal welfare. It was created, in the Congress of Deputies on December 19, 2007, with the aim of promoting legislative initiatives in favor of animal rights.
This podenca is in Gesser killing station, Cadiz, Almeria. Can’t anyone take her. And don’t tell me there is a God, that allows innocent animals to suffer like this! I gave up believing a long time ago, because too many animals all over the world suffer unnecessarily, at the hands of man! Finally got an email address! gloryfranjose@hotmail.com
Together with several organisations, notably Galgos Ethique Europe and l”Arche de Levriers, Greyhounds Rescue Holland has worked on the foundation of the Collectif Europeen pour la protection des Levriers, in English known as the European Collective for the Protection of Hounds.
Following discussions and consultations with the office of the Member of European Parliament Mrs. Striffler, (she is the MEP who marched with us in Strasbourg in March 2012), it is clear that the only way forward is a collective and sustained effort by European organisations and European participation of the public. No small feat indeed and we are well aware that it will be a difficult uphill climb. But the bigger the challenge, the stronger the determination!
