Carmen of Arconatura Linares in Jaen sent a desperate email to us earlier this year asking for urgent help as they needed to move their galgos as they had suffered break ins at their refuge and many dogs, some under treatment, had run off.   One galga we helped was Rebecca, she was so very frightened and Carmen was pleased that we could take her and others very quickly to Vic.   They are now all homed in France and Switzerland. Saskia and Juan at the San Anton (Villamartin) refuge in Cadiz continue their work for the galgos. Over a 2 week period, earlier this year at the end of the hunting season, they took in more than 75 galgos.   We have been able to cover the veterinary and transportation costs for the gal- gos we can take from them to April and Paul.   These galgos are re- tested for Mediterranean diseases and sterilised ready for homing in Belgium.  GIN funds these costs along with their boarding costs at April and Paul’s boarding  kennels, near Rota, and the healthy galgos are then taken to Malaga airport ready for their flight to Brussels to meet their new families. As well as taking galgos from Villamartin for homing we were also able to give a donation to the   refuge to  improve the conditions for the dogs that come into their care.     They have been making the kennels more secure and covering the kennel runs to give some   protection for the   galgos from the wet and cold weather.      31 Rebecca ,above, on arrival at the   refuge in Jaen
