  • Pepis Dog Refuge – their Xmas Day present from above!

    Pepis bedroom window 1 250 12 2013These are the pictures of Pepis Dog Refuge on Christmas Day 2013, the day after we left after our visit to Jane and Alan and all their beautiful dogs.

    ‘Jane Brian 25 December 20:11

    This has never happened before on Christmas Day, complete devastation, very strong winds and torrential rain. After moving the dogs in the house from the ground floor to the upper floor for safety, which as you can see was fast filling with sewage water, to the upper floor.

    As the forecast is for more storms tomorrow, we went up to the caravan and found the shed had been completely devastated, with all the expensive electronic equipment which ran our limited solar electricity and all Alan’s electric tools in thick mud and water. The solar we did have has now been destroyed and the solar panels were blown into the olive tree.

  • Podenca Andaluz Lucy – abandoned in Malaga, forever in Holland

    Lucy Malaga airport 250 2 25 1 2012Little Podenca Andaluz Lucy was rescued by Susanna from the side of a railway track. She suffered serious injury from being attacked by a larger dog, but has made a marvellous recovery, thanks to the work of 112carlotagalgos and Paco, their vet. Podencoworld in Holland had an offer of a foster home for Lucy and on 25th January, Lucy and four other lucky podencos flew from Malaga airport to Holland. Because Lucy only weight 8 kilos, she went as ‘hand luggage’!

    Here are some photos of Lucy at the airports, including Susanna, her rescuer, and a lovely video of her playing in her foster home, the day after her arrival. Good luck Lucy, you will soon find your forever family.

  • Happy rehomings for some lucky podencos

    Thank you to the Little Pod Fondation and Animal Welfare Support Murcia for organising to collect the little Seville podenca puppy and find her a forever home. Iggy Podenco is being adopted by an English couple also in Murcia (thanks to AWSM) and an English family have applied and are currently being approved to adopt Bella. And Luna is the one-eyed podenca with Galgos del Sol, who flew to the US with a galgo companion on 11/1/2012.

    But there are dozens more needing your support and help, and the volunteers and associations are very grateful for whatever you can do, whether it is donations, fostering, adopting.
