TERRIBLE NEWS, CAN ANYONE HELP? Urgent appeal to home 130 rescue dogs INCLUDING three that Galgos del Sol & Little Pod Foundation rescued in July.
Friday, September 30, 2011 @ 1:26 PM

In today's Round Town News they are featuring a story about Urgent appeal to home 130 rescue dogs

The dog & her pups shown in the photo (above) in the RTN are those rescued 11th July by Tina of Galgos del Sol, Marie Stacey of Little Pod Foundation & a volunteer plus others.

The 5 hour rescue happened at San Javier airport & it was a very traumatic & difficult rescue as the mum was aggressive & kept fending off the rescuers & her pups were hiding, buried under concrete.

The road was extremely busy & everyone was at some risk. Workers from the airport got involved too. Until the mum was captured there was no way the pups could be rescued, the mum wouldn't let anyone near where they were. In fact she chased Marie Stacey up the busy road.

Eventually they were all saved & the mum was calm once back with her pups. I understand two of the four pups went to homes BUT the mum & the other two pups were put in this shelter, the one that now is being closed down & 130 dogs including these are going to be put down after October 1st if not taken on by other rescue centres. But rescue centres are all full!

Last night, as soon as I heard ... I receive the RTN early by email .. I alerted Tina & Marie (who recognised the dogs straight away, having rescued them) & now many are trying to help these 130 dogs & Tina & Marie are trying to get the rescued mum & her pups out fast.

Can anyone foster any, we're meaning the pups & the mum obviously BUT making you aware of the others too. :(

Tina has her kennels full, no foster carers available, little money & now this.

You must see, after spending over 5 hrs rescuing these dogs in July, Little Pod Foundation & Galgos del Sol are NOT going to allow these dogs to be destroyed.

If anyone can help foster/rehome this mum & her two remaining puppies who are due to be put down if no one takes them NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP, PLEASE.

Remember there are 130 dogs due to be destroyed any day too, help IF you can.

This isn't going to help much because I am hundreds of kms away, and totally surrounded by my own rescues. No tengo dinero, no tengo espacio para mas.

To all concerned I wish you well and sincerely hope that someone can find it in their hearts to take on Mum and the two remaining puppies.

All too often companies like Cereco become the paid lackeys of municipal authorities. Such companies are only to happy to take the money... it is a lucrative business at around 130 euros per animal picked up and a healthy monthly retainer plus bonuses for out of hours pick ups, such companies have a vested interest in capturing as many animals as possible and spending as little as possible.
Captured animals become a liability after a very short time and since the local authorities have washed their hands of the matter, euthanasia is the next logical step.
Lethal Injections are expensive... gas chambers are far more economical...
It's not just Cereco; similar companies exist all over Spain. Indirectly anyone who abandons an animal or ignores a stray is assisting in the continuation of doggie versions of Auschwitz.

Fingers crossed isn't going to be enough in this instance. I just hope and pray that someone has a solution that will benefit all of the animals.
