Rescue Dogs for homing in Spain

Those of you that have holidayed in Spain would have seen the appalling amount of homeless animals that roam the streets. They are thrown onto the street to starve to death or to be hit by cars on the road and then left to roam with terrible injuries.

There are of course rescue centres in Spain but unfortunately homes are not as forthcoming as they are in England. Hence many of the dogs in these centres have been there waiting for new homes for many months, some for years. We are in contact with one of these centres in Spain and have decided to try and offer some assistance. Although the rescue is doing the best it can it is by no means up to the same standard as rescues in this country. It is being run by a German lady, the only funds being her pension which doesn't go far. Her own accommodation is very poor, all her funds go to the upkeep of the animals. The ground is just hard baked dirt, when it rains it turns into a mud bath. Shelter is just outside wooden kennels with no blankets. Many of the dogs are keep on chains no longer than 3 foot and have been like this for 2 years!

All of the following dogs are desperately looking for a new home: -

It is more than likely that this elderly bitch will not end her days in a warm home, curled up on someones bed.	The dog on the left of the photo had her ears cropped (this wasnt done by a vet).	This Collie has been kept on a short chain for 2 years. Reserved
Nickoli, a 1 yr old Lab X his only shelter is the flimsy wooden kennel that he is chained to.	Another bitch being kept on a very short chain.	A Spanish Water Spaniel. Note the ground, poor quality fencing and junk in the run. Reserved
Scarlett,a greyhound bitch	A young Kooikerhondje bitch	A five month old bitch puppy desperate for attention. Reserved
Biddy - an 8 year old bitch, loving, affectionate, but not good with smaller dogs.	Toby is a great dane, greyhound, pointer cross aged 2 years 6 months.	Cassie is a labrador cross with a very nice temperament.
Suleika is a galgof (type of greyhound) seen with her puppies.	We have six galgof puppies (all bitches) that need homes.

To bring one of these dogs or puppies into this country it would cost just £300.

This includes all of the vaccinations, rabies etc, neutering and a pet passport. Have a look in your local newspaper tonight at the price puppies are selling for, many are selling for the same price if not more. How would you really like to spend your money?

If you feel that you might be able to offer a home to one of these dogs or would like further information then please give us a call on 023 8055 9552.
