Pet Portraits make a wonderful gift - supporting animal charities

Regular readers will remember Viv and her incredible work in rescue in and around Cartagena in Murcia. Especially Viv founded ACTIN and fought for help for the hunting dogs kept in a metal container, amongst many other rescues. She also organised PAES International Conference on Animal Welfare to which I was invited to give a presentation on the plight of the galgos and podencos.

Due to ill health Viv has had to step back from animal rescue, but is helping animals in another way. She is an amazingly gifted artist and on this weblink you can read about and see some of her work.

A portrait of your pet would make a wonderful gift. Get in touch with Viv direct for more information.

Viv's partner Dan is also a gifted artist - working in mosaic. See more of his work on this weblink

Galga/podenca mix - Princess hoping for a forever home soon

From Rocio Castillo Gonzalez

'Glory, a mix galga-podenca, Small-medium size (12 kg)

One year she has been at the Podencos Y Mas -Malaga- shelter, this princess is waiting for you to look at such a beauty. She's our top model... but still no one has given her a chance yet.

She's 2 years old and was rescued at just 1 years old from a Noe syndrome in Huelva. Came in a lot of fear and full of bugs outside and inside.

Now she's a cute doll, healthy and full of love and happiness to give whoever is lucky enough to give her a good home.
Can you help us so Gloria can write her happy ending?

It's time for you, isn't it, Glory?

Galgo's Rescue Almeria - Galgo Gitano needs your help

From Sandy at Galgo's Rescue Almeria

'This is Gitano, two weeks ago he came in our care. He is only 3 years old but unfortunately he is Leish positive.
To know his exact values we had to do a full laboratory test. He was very skinny when he arrived and it seems he’s not gaining any weight. We received the results and they are not good at all, his kidneys values are very bad.

Gitano is taking medication and we need to buy special kidney diet dry and wet food.

We are not giving him up and will do everything what’s possible to save him.

Please keep Gitano in your thoughts. All help to cover his medical costs and special food is welcome and we would be extremely grateful.'

Abandoned by the galguero, injured on the road - Protectora Scooby to the rescue again

From Scooby

'Another poor one run over. He is admitted because he has suffered a fibula rupture and pneumothorax, and although it sounds strange to say it, he is all lucky, since the result could have been death, as in many other cases. We will inform you of how he evolves because when he recovers need a family to share the rest of his life.

Galgo's Rescue Almeria - please help build quarantine kennels

Galgo's Rescue Almeria appeal

It’s necessary to separate new abandoned dogs from the ones who are already saved. It’s important for new arrivals to stay for 2 weeks in a separate place so they can recover and be vaccinated. We already raised an amount for all the materials for one kennel ( concrete, stones, cement, floor- and wall tiles, iron works, roof, .....). So all help to build the second one will be welcome .

See a plan of the kennels and donate through Gofundme on this weblink.

Acorns are poisonous to dogs

Acorns are poisonous...often meadows are surrounded by acorns and if horses eat enough, they suffer. I didn't know that some dogs might also eat acorns until I read this article.
