Please sponsor food for Candy's ten puppies.
Friday, August 29, 2014

Would you like to sponsor a euro or two towards milk for The Candy Bar Club? There are TEN pups belonging to Candy. They would very much appreciate it, it costs 59€ a tub!

 

 

Candy couldn't be operated yesterday, it was likely she would haemorrhage. There is an underlying problem showing in her blood work and first the hospital needs to find out what that is. 

 

Paypal address is galgosdelsol@hotmail.com

The police are already there and rumour has it the live Galgos will be taken away and sacrificed.... We are trying to get more info...."

Then later she posted..
"Update. Police are still there. Tomorrow they will let us know if we can take the remaining 7 that are alive. There are four babies in there and 3 adults literally in their bones we've been told. More news tomorrow ....."

Even later "The police wanted me to go NOW but I'm alone with sleeping kids !! Police have agreed 10am in the morning and we will take all seven. No idea where to put them yet. please consider donating to galgosdelsol@hotmail.com Thanks in advance..... So frustrated I can't go now"

Update on The 16 Dog a Day Initiative
Monday, August 4, 2014

Please view the previous blog posts, this one explains more 

The 16 Dog a Day Initiative is a commemoration and celebration of loved dogs -- living or passed. The graphic and message above will be used for a permanent wall installation in the new centre.

Additionally, when we reach 500 names, two supporters will sponsor a billboard.

So far there have been 352 dogs names added to the wall with more coming in daily.

Donate 16 euros for each dog's name and the money goes to the new centre.

Please share to everyone you can think -- who DOESN'T want their dog to be part of GdS?

Donations can be made through our website in English http://www.galgosdelsol.org 

or in the US for a tax deduction http://www.galgopodencosupport.org

There is also a Paypal button so you can donate from the Facebook page too >>> here
