>This coming weekend sees the end of the hunting season in Spain. This is traditionally a time when Spanish sighthounds, Galgos, are abandoned, tortured and starved
because they are no longer wanted and the hunters will use new dogs next season.
>
>At Galgos del Sol, a rescue in Spain, they have a big problem – a hunter has asked them to take 70 dogs that he no longer has any use for. But there are not enough rescue places.
>
>So far the rescue has managed to take in 20 and are desperately looking for other rescue places and foster homes.
>The dogs are not in good condition – they are skeletal. What’s more they are all on death row on Friday if they cannot be saved.
>
>Donations are urgently needed to sponsor dogs that are already well so that they can travel to UK rescues to make room for the desperate cases. Money is needed to fund these dogs. It is also needed to provide veterinary treatment for those that can then come into rescue.
>
>UK rescues have come forward offering their help but they can’t take the sick dogs yet. They have to get well before they can be neutered and vaccinated. So money for kennelling would help the situation.
>If you can spare some money for these dogs, Tina who runs the rescue would be so grateful. You would be helping to save many lives.
>
>The situation is critical. The dogs in the killing stations have until Friday to find a place. Can you help them do that, please?
>
>You can see pictures of the dogs and the full story here: http://www.perrosdelsol.es/galgo-rescue-missions.html >
>And here is how you can make a donation
