Dogs in Spain Being Prepared for
Homing in Mainland Europe
Pep’s kennels in Vic, Barcelona
Throughout
the year we board many galgos (Spanish bred greyhounds) at Pep Plans kennels in
Vic, Barcelona. These dogs are fully dependant on funding by GIN for their maintenance /
veterinary care. Once Pep has carried out testing for Mediterranean diseases,
treating if necessary, and sterilizations, arrangements can be made to home the
galgos in mainland Europe.
Transportations
are being arranged all the time for dogs to come to Pep’s and then to be taken
by our contacts abroad to homes in
Belgium, France, Switzerland, etc. For the latest news on any of the dogs shown below please
email us on info@greyhoundsinneed.co.uk
Thank
you.

Arca de Noe refuge in Albacete
We have been so
pleased that our co-operation with Elisa and Chiara of the Adopt Centre
Italy
has continued. As many of you will remember we first made contact
following the closure of the Rome track some years ago. Once all the greyhounds were rehomed
Elisa asked how they could help the galgos in Spain.
We work closely
with Sole and Mateo at the Arca de Noe refuge in Albacete and try to
help as many galgos as we can who have been rescued by them. Sole and Mateo
prepare photographs and details of each dog which allows Elisa and her group to
publicise them on their website in order to find homes. We are happy
to fund their veterinary treatment in Albacete (testing for Mediterranean diseases, sterilisations etc.) and help where
possible by funding some transportation costs. Once homes have been found
in Italy the transportation is organised. Sole and her helpers often drive the
journey from Albacete
to Nice where Elisa and her helpers collect the dogs and continue their
journey.

any of the dogs shown below please email us on info@greyhoundsinneed.co.uk

Thank you.

Refugio Kimba in
Cadiz
We are pleased to be helping Refugio Kimba with
their galgos. We have for many years sent parcels of donated coats,
medicines etc to this refuge but have now managed to organise, with help
from Greyhounds Rescue Belgium (GRB), to take some of their rescued
galgos for rehoming.
We are working closely with Concha at the refuge
in Cadiz. She prepares photographs of each dog which allows GRB to publicise them on their website in order to find homes. We are
happy to fund their veterinary treatment in Kimba (testing for
Mediterranean diseases, sterilisations etc.) and also fund the transportation
costs.

San Anton
refuge, Villamartin
The Villamartin refuge in Cadiz,
run by Saskia Rinia van Nauta receives many galgos each year. Having visited
this refuge we were able to see for ourselves how hard Saskia and her
helpers work to look after the abandoned dogs in their area. We have taken many
galgos from them and most of these have been homed in Belgium. We are now
pleased to be able to help Saskia again by funding the veterinary costs
necessary so that some of the galgos she has rescued can be transported and
rehomed in Austria, France, Germany and Switzerland.

dogs shown below please email us on info@greyhoundsinneed.co.uk
