    Livia came from a perrera in Zaragoza, in the north of Spain. The photo here was of her there in February 2012. She looked like a small old little lady who had had a very hard life. She had what looked like a touch of mange and conjunctivitis, but nothing in the way of illness that I felt I couldn’t handle. Her face was tired, she was the little lonely dog in the corner.

  • Huesca, Zaragoa – can anyone help Chiqui

    Chiqui 8 2012 200I’ve received this plea from a volunteer about a podenco x who is in Huesca perrera. He was attacked by another dog and has an injured leg. Susanna desperately wants to get him out, but the refuges and fosters are full. Can anyone help her? You can write to her using Google translate into Spanish – that’s how she wrote to me in English!

    My name is Susan and I write from Spain to ask for your help. I apologize if I do not write well. I used the internet translator because I have only a little English.

    I have attached a photo of Chiqui. He is a x podenco in the perrera of Huesca (Zaragoza). He is 4 years old and is a very good dog, very friendly, cheerful and has a fantastic character.
