BAD NEWS
Today we have to give you a very painful and heartbreaking news. Our shelter is closing its doors forever in this place. After seeing its condition and assessing the damage, another reconstruction is impossible, we can't cope.
Besides the risk of losing one of our dogs has been too close this time, 2 dogs from the outside area escaped death by minutes and if the person who received the warning call, had the phone on silent or a deeper sleep, today we would be crying the death of all our dogs and we can't cope with that.
Our shelter has always been our greatest pride, our safe place and who knows us knows how much we have fought for it, years of effort and dedication.
This is very hard, but you have to know how to accept the defeat, know when you have lost and in this case, the defeat was ours, we have lost and we accept it. Even our van was flooded inside, the water was so deep!
It doesn't mean we surrender, we only retreat to gather strength, we lose this battle, but the war will be ours and we will win it with you,
WE NEED YOU, we need our voices to be heard louder than ever, we need to find a SAFE PLACE for our dogs and we need it now!
We have many dogs waiting for their chance, many that need us
We don't ask anyone to gift us anything, we just want to find something we can rent
You have always been there with us and today we need your strength more than ever 🙏🏼
Regarding our dogs, they are currently in residences and houses
of foster and of course, we will continue here for them, the shelter is closed, not Galgos in the family
Galgos en Familia isn't a place, Galgos en Family are the people, those we put our heart and we'll create a home for them wherever we go
SHARE AND HELP US GET BACK TO OUR FIGHT
I'll just leave some of these here. Features we are looking for, although everything is negotiable, as long as it is a NON-FLOOD zone
What we're looking for:
- Reasonable rent (no purchase)
- we don't need a lot of land, with 3000 m, it would be fine
- outside fence, light and water
- flat area
- with any building (ship, warehouse, etc.) )
- that access to the road is not impossible
- For veterinary issues, we need for the Churriana areas,
Alhaurín de la Torre, Alhaurin le Grande, Cartama, El Sixmo, Valle del Guadalhorce, Coín, etc...
As I said, everything is negotiable, except for the NON FLOOD ZONE
if you know any place, write to us privately
