Live near Alcaucin? This is Lucky, who had been missing since June 26th; he simply did not come home from his daily morning walk in the campo of Alcaucin. His owner fears he has been stolen. Note he has one white paw (circled in red).
Lucky is castrated, chipped and vaccinated; he is allergic against food and “ambiente” therefore he absolutely needs his medicine (Atopica)
His chip number is: 941000012452793 Contact Gabriel
Urgent place needed for tbis young podenco pup – about 4 months old – abandoned on the streets of Merida. Please email urgently Contact: animalista2010@gmail.com
Last week I posted a comment from a volunteer in Spain, that many perreras kill ALL the dogs in August, because they want to close down completely for the holidays. Well, Albacete Perrera is going to do just that. Over 200 dogs are due to be pts any time now! Several of them are beautiful young podencos.
L’Europe des Levriers is the French association with whom I have travelled to Spain on many rescue missions. One of the refuges they work with is in Albacete. But they can’t cope with this massive programme of euthanasia.
If there any associations who can help with taking any of the podencos, please contact Alicia on edl.alicia@gmail.com
This is a link to an article about a man who was out for a walk and came across two hanged galgos. It’s in Spanish, haven’t had time to translate it. If anyone can do so, your help will be appreciated.
SOS Galgos seeks help from Europe in ending the plight of Spanish galgos
On 9th June SOS Galgos attended the first international demonstration in defence of Spanish galgos in front of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The protest condemned the cruelty suffered by galgos at the end of the hunting season. The demonstration was supported by Euro MP, Michèle Striffler. Protests echoing these demands took place in Madrid and Barcelona the following day. (Anna Clements & Jerome Guillot)
Another happy ending for a deserving podenco. Bon Voyage Julian.
‘This little fellow is Julian the Podenco. Last October a Canadian lady named Robin Waldman visited two shelters in Spain. One was suggested by GRIN, near Sevilla, called FBM (Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert). Robin volunteered there and soon met a galgo named Iker that she decided would come back home with her in the Spring.
In the meantime she also met a Podenco named Julian who also won her heart. He had been waiting for so long, no one asked for him.
Abel is young male Podenco about 10 months old, you can see he has not had the best start in life. He is very underweight, weak and will need some time for him to build up his strength. He is negative for Leishmania, filaria and elerichia and we hope he doesn’t have any long term health problems because of his neglect.
Very sweet 1 yr old podenco desperately wants his forever family to love him and keep him forever. Contact San Animal Santuario
They are going to start killing the Huesca dogs next week…
I’ve received the following article which is quite thought provoking.
Spain is a country which is on now its knees. It’s gone from dictatorship to good presidency and bringing a country up on form and being recognised as a good place to be. From there, the previous government to the current one, the latter was voted in December 2011, brought bad practices into its own when they took over. The country became run down, the people suffer, but as always, the politicians walk away with clean hands and a tidy pension until death. To compound the negative results of that government’s actions, Spain was hit with the Global crisis.
