From Galgos del Sol who bravely brought a court case in Spain against the previous owner of this poor Mastin.
Monday 16th June 2025 we went to court with the previous owner of Derek. He was rescued in June 2022 with his ears and the end of his tongue cut off, he was left neglected & suffering terribly. The owner needs to pay for what he did. Sheepdogs have a terrible time in Spain, worse than galgos in my opinion. Wish us luck!
Update after 3 years of fighting.
COURT CASE & JUSTICE FOR DEREK!
Previous owner got
- THREE MONTHS PRISON (Suspended)
- ONE YEAR BAN FROM KEEPING ANIMALS
- HAS TO PAY COURT FEES
- MORE DECISIONS LATER REGARDING VETS FEES & FINES! We will hear in about a week and update!!!!
Best result we’ve had to date! He was rescued with open wounds, broken bones, live maggots in his mouth, his ears cut off, end of tongue sliced off, dehydration, babesia, anaplasma, erlichia, flea and tick infestation and matted fur.
Update on Derek - thriving in his new home

This is an amazing result as Tina was not expecting even this much. Very very hard to get justice for a maltreated dog in Spain. The team were very brave to instigate a Court case as anyone who makes a denuncia often faces abuse and harrassment from the perpetrators of animal abuse.
