  • A bird’s eye view on Spain , animals and owners!

    Prohitited_to_Abandon_250 PosterI’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.

  • Looking for an Angel? Angel in Waiting. Adopt an Angel

    Angela octubre 190This gorgeous podenca is ready now to completely slot into your family. Here’s her appeal from 112carlotagalgos.

    ‘Angela Angelica.

    Angela, what can I say? She has been with us now a year, she has never complained she has never cried. Rescued from rejection, and yet rejected again. For as much as her galguero threw her out, her precious babies left behind, she was wandering around with chronic mastitis and a broken heart. Healed of such at 112 carlota galgos, she is rejected again for adoptants just don’t see her! Here she is peeking over Mariposa’s back, this is Angela.

  • 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.
