Podenca surviving the streets on 2 legs - now safe with Galgos del Sol

Surviving the streets on 2 legs

From GdS.

This podenca survived the streets whilst carrying her back legs behind her every single day... we are hoping to change her future for the better. We still have some tests to go & specialists to see but we will get the best advice for her. She's adorable & survived like a champion

The little Podenca that has no knee caps is now called Wiggles. We love that name, it really suits her as she was wiggling down the streets just doing her own thing. Wiggling in & out of bars doing her own thing. Wiggling across busy roads doing her own thing. She’s a wiggle pants. Welcome Wiggles

Network for Animals & Galgos del Sur - saving 32 Cordoba hunting hounds

From Network for Animals

The shockingly cruel treatment of Spanish greyhounds (Galgos) must be stopped in Spain. Will you stand with us today?

The sport hunting industry is full of cruel practices and a callous disregard for animal welfare.

We offer a glimmer of hope and relief to these terrified, injured and stressed animals.
32 hunting dogs were rescued from a nightmarish existence in a decrepit farmhouse. Many others like them desperately need your help. Chained, starving, and wounded, they have endured unspeakable suffering in appalling conditions.

We're partnering with Galgos de Sur, a dedicated organization committed to confiscating, protecting, rehabilitating, and finding good forever homes for these abused hunting dogs. We are asking for your compassion today. Please support our crucial mission and help us end this disgraceful behaviour.

Please help, even if it's just to join Teaming please help.

Galgo Rescue Almeria - Podenco Campaneros find their forever family

Just over a year ago on August 10, we remember a memorable period in the existence of GRA.

A year ago, the doors of Patan were closed and sealed by Seprona due to severe animal neglect.

For about 120 dogs but also other animals: cats, chickens, rabbits,... even a pig, the neglect came to an end. Several Rescue centers joined forces to receive the victims and guide them to a new life. 11 Galgos and 3 Podencos were housed at Galgo's Rescue Almeria, all in bad shape and some even in very critical condition. The "life" they had must have been hell. Malnourished, no or dirty drinking water, poo everywhere, covered in ticks,…..

Meanwhile, almost all of the sweethearts who ended up at GRA, after their rehabilitation and treatment against various tick diseases, found their golden basket.

Protectora Scooby - please help feed our animals

HELP FOR OUR PLEASE

Last year, climatologically speaking, was very bad for our sanctuary residents, and this year is coming just as or even worse...

The forage is scarce and we are having to buy a lot of thought to elders to keep our animals well fed, assuming this a great economic discharge.

We have sown alfalfa and we are hoarding and taking advantage of all that we can, but this is not enough for the 50 horses and donkeys and the 46 sheep and goats who live in our Sanctuary, so we ask help for them, so they can have the happy life that they deserve.

Fuerteventura Dog Rescue - help with vet fees for badly injured podenco

I don't know the back ground to the rescue of this podenco - I have asked. But this is the ongoing story so far.

'Joy, as we have named her, is still admitted with medication and serum. He can't walk. They have done X-rays and more analysis. He possibly has rickettsia, pending lab results but will take a few days.

Update.

Finally got baby girl out of the clinic last week (tested positive for rickettsia and is on treatment 28 days antibiotic). The neck injuries are getting better and slowly coming back to strength.

Thanks to our colleagues at the Esquinzo Finca Association, she has a host home until she is 100% recovered and then the Tierhilfe Fuerteventura Association e. V will be looking for a family to look after her for the rest of her life.

If you can help with vet costs it would be a great help. You can donate to our bank account or

Podenco Gideon hoping for a forever home

Introducing Podenco Gideon, a cute and fluffy little boy!

They told me to tell you something that convinces you to take me with you, and I don't know what to tell someone I don't even know, even though I imagine you every day!... and even sleep with you!!. Sometimes you're male some times you're female, whatever! , Sometimes it's just you and me in a small home, other times we are a big family and I play with the kids in the yard. Sometimes I have dog siblings and sometimes I don’t, but I have lots of friends at the park.

Sometimes there are three of us and on the weekends we go on a trip to the countryside for hours, we take risks, cross streams or just walk on the beach. In the end, dreaming is free and I do it sleeping and awake.

I dream of my home and you, I'm looking forward to being part of your life, be the excuse for you to leave before work....
Colorful dreams, what do you dream of?

News from Protectora Scooby Medina del Campo

Last year, Scooby rescued 579 dogs and homed 158 here in Spain and 296 overseas: Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Holland, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland, United Kingdom and USA. Scooby saved 77 cats and homed 65. So far this year we have saved 204 dogs and cats and we’ve homed 199 of them. These are high numbers for our small team of about 10 staff. We are blessed with some dedicated volunteers, for which we are very grateful.

All of our work carries a lot of administration, not only Scooby’s own activities but also the liaison with our partners and the vast array of government paperwork we need to complete to make our international adoptions happen. In the last newsletter
we told you about our computers cracking under the strain and our administrator burning the midnight oil as a result. Thanks to your generosity, our supporters rose to the occasion and we were able to buy new Samsung Galaxy computers for the Scooby office and they have made such a difference to our efficiency. Thank you all very much.

Dibujando Huellas VDR - another shelter helping the abandoned hounds

Appeal from the Association in Cordoba.

WE NEED 195 € SO LADY AND HER FOUR PUPPIES CAN TRAVEL.

We rescued these puppies almost a month and a half ago. Mommy Lady had her babies thrown in the field, in the Fuensanta de Montoro, where they abandoned her like so many powers when they are no longer suitable for hunting. The poor thing was about to give birth, went to a nearby bar asking for food, where at least she received it and they even helped us to catch them. We didn't know where her babies were so we couldn't rescue them until they grew up and Mommy would take them to that same bar so she would feed them to her girls too.

The babies were fearful even days after their capture, they didn't know what a caress was, nor a kiss, they had not had any kind of approach with humans.

It’s been amazing to see how much they have changed over the weeks and now they enjoy human warmth.
