This rough haired podenco doesn't know why he's been left behind in Valencia perrera. Many of his friends have left, either been rescued or killed. He's been in there a couple of months now and his time is running out. He's one of the two in the cage.

Valencia pound. On death row. Two brothers, about six months old, precious and super friendly. They have honey-coloured eyes. One is a bit more suspicious than the other, are very funny because if you tell them things, the one on the right will wags its tail and get belly up and give kisses, because he wants to come, but as his brother is more cautious (I'm sure on the street he has survived thanks to him) he tells his brother not to come, and is constantly taking care of both.
Hopefully someone can help the two together because they are very close. One without the other could not survive on the street. They are identical twins. Will be tall, because they are still puppies, appear to be Ibizans.

Galgo Rescue International Network work hard at supporting a couple of rescue and rehoming shelters in southern Spain. Telma Shaw, who has visited several times to collect and transport galgos and podencos has recently returned from her latest trip. You can read about the trip and the latest galgos and podencos she took back to the US to their forever homes on this link. This one is about the journey and all the dogs which went back. It was great to meet Telma in Malaga last September, after years of corresponding. Thank you to Telma, GRIN and all your adopters, sponsors and donators. You are all incredible people.

You all know that my main work is helping the galgos and podencos in Spain, and supporting the work of the refuges and shelters there. But occasionally something happens elsewhere which enrages me. This is one such story. Please read about it on this link on Galgo News and if you too are appalled, please copy and paste the letter into an email and send to the address given. Thank you.
