  • Jara podenca – waiting in Jaen for her forever home

    JARA Jaen 250 3 2012This beautiful little podenca was rescued from the streets of Jaen, heavily pregnant. She is now in the mini refuge at Torre del Campo, ready for her forever home. She’s been named Jara and she’s about 18 months old. Here’s what Romina says about her character.

    ‘She is lively and playful and gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t like cats. She likes to cuddle and is a bit bossy as she wants all the love for herself!’.

    Contact Romina (speaks English) if you can give her a forever home.

  • Torre del Campo, Jaen – another injured galgo – what is wrong in Spain>

    Lourdes Pulgar tells the story.

    A couple of days ago, someone took a male galgo to the protectora, which they found in Lindares. Now I have been to collect it to take to the garage/mini refuge refuge where there are 8 more dogs.

    I was told that it could not walk; it is not lame. has problems of co-ordination and walks as if it was drunk; he eats and drinks as if it had parkinson. I cannot express how I have felt while it was walking – see the videos, it was falling down and
    it was stumbling constantly while I was crying was cursing the hunter who has left it.

    Less than a year old, he has had a VERY STRONG BLOW IN THE HEAD and this
    is the cause of the problem; it also has woulds to its feet. It is ill too.
