A new strain of tick-borne disease - Rickettsia

A new strain of tick-borne disease

Ticks can carry quite a few pathogens that can cause disease in dogs and humans. Some of these pathogens are viruses, some are bacteria, and some are protozoa (single-celled animals). Rikettsia are very small bacteria species that grow inside the living cells of their hosts. Different strains of Rikettsia are responsible for diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and various strains of typhus.

58 hunting hounds rescue from a life of hell in Spain

Sadly not an unusual situation for the poor hunting hounds in Spain - so many hidden valleys where the dogs can be kept away from public view. Details of one recent rescue.

'Seprona and colleagues from other associations came to the site to confiscate 58 dogs from a hunting racket. We were six associations that have helped get those animals out of there. But sadly it hasn't been possible to get them all out. 9 have stayed there.

The asso Los Angeles de Lora have helped three, we didn't have room for more. All the dogs are physically very bad, very very thin, they were fed water and hard bread and sometimes dead birds. A filthy place where no one should be forced to live. Here are a few general photos of everything that happened, you can see how the dogs were kept on short chains.

Les Amis d'Ivar association, France - Podenco Victor for adoption

Les Amis d'Ivar association in France have podenco Victor for adoption. He's in Dept 59, Nord-Pas-de-Calais

Victor is a beautiful small Andalusian Podenco of about one year old. He was found wandering with barbed wire embossed in his paw.
We don't know the origin of this injury, but today that misery is behind him.

Ok with dogs, cats unknown. Nice to people, shy at first, but that's ok. It will take a while to trust, but once it does, Victor will be the type of dog who will only have eyes for his human, a magical relationship.

He is a beauty and we would love a family as beautiful as him to show him that the hand is no longer the one that hits, but the one that caresses.

Protectora Scooby - a desperate situation - over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

'At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

For donations please:

Thank you very much!'

Malaga - 2 podencos needing a home

I received the following appeal in my Inbox this week. Maybe someone can help these 2 podencos.

'I'm trying to find a home for 2 Podencos, they are 7 years old and I need a home for them as I'm moving back to England and cannot take the dogs with me. They come with their own kennels - see similar on this link. I have had them since they were a couple of weeks old and
abandoned in a cardboard box.

Attached are a couple of photo's of them, I would be most pleased if you know of anybody that would like them. I live near Vinuela. Email me please.'

The charming village of La Vinuela (Little Vineyard) is situated 45 kilometres from Malaga and 19 kilometres from the coastal town of Torre del Mar, in the stunning natural surroundings of the Axarquia region.

Charl del Rio -112carlotagalgos - on crates for dogs

In all my 70+ years of living with dogs from puppies to old dogs, I have never felt the need to use a crate. But these days it's become fashionable to use a crate if someone can't train/control their dog. I think - well, human, how would you like to be shut in a cage?' So this is a very informative article by Charl del Rio, founder of 112carlotagalgos in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga, on this very subject and why one shoule NEVER use a crate on a galgo or podenco.

'IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CRATES/TRANSPORTINES/BENCHES AND GALGOS AND PODENCOS

Please remember galgos are not greyhounds and come from an entirely different background. Many a galgo or podenco has been rescued from a severely dark place and time in their life. Many many are rescued from dark small hovels, under ground and in some cases with pallets on the top.
