We are a non-profit association, which cares for abandoned and abused cats and dogs in Spain.
Since 1982 we rescue them from the animal pound, so they won’t be destroyed and bring them back to full health, this involves veterinary care, inoculation, castrations, operations and blood tests etc. All of our animals are given a health certificate and microchip we then take them back to Germany for adoption.
We charge between 150 and 180 EUR for our animals which does not cover the cost of their rehabilitation in a lot of cases. All our work is voluntary and we rely totally on public donations!
In Spain, as in many other southern countries not all dogs are "mans best friend", he is only a guard and hunting machine. A lot of these dogs (usually Galgos, Podencos, Pointer...) are killed when the hunting season is finished or they become "too old" at 4 years!! for hunting. A "good" hunting dog gets the "grace" of a quick death., a bad dog will be tormented: they are shot, hanged, abandoned, burned or flogged to death - or they are given to an animal home where they are killed after 15 days in a cruel way.
