  • Nightmare in Mogan, Gran Canaria — seeking podencos and justice for them!

    Mogan full cages 250You may remember I reported a situation in Mogan, Gran Canaria, where about 90 podencos were incarcerated in metal cages in a remote valley. Yesterday a team of volunteers and members of the municipality went to the site to take the dogs. They found the cages empty, frightened podencos roaming around the valley. Here’s the story as posted on facebook. I’ve asked for a ‘polite’ letter in Spanish for us to send to the Mayor of Mogan to encourage him to search for the owner of the dogs and prosecute him. Will run the campaign when I receive it.

    NEWS STORY FROM GPAR – Pluto the Podenco!

    Pluto has had a very bad time. He was a street dog in Rute for over a year and no one was able to get near enough to him to catch him. It was unfortunately an accident he had with a car, that enabled GPAR to rescue him, take him to the vet for treatment and then to the refuge where he has been since Feb this year.

    The accident caused injury to his right paw which is now sightly deformed but he can walk on it although he will need to have another operation and he is waiting to have this.
