Shirley received this email, about the plight of a Afghan Hound in Spain - any way you can offer help would be much appreciated , please Email Shirley direct shirley@bozwood.demon.co.uk
Hi I'm involved with galgo rescue, from my home in France. One of my Spanish contacts has sent me details attached of an afghan rescued in Spain, and asked for help in getting him a home. Is there anything your association can do, do any of the UK afghan rescue associations have contacts in Spain? If you can help in any way, they will be so very grateful, and perhaps you could let me know, one way or another, and I can put it on my weblog below.Thanks for your time. Amities - Beryl Brennan

Lord Byron …
HE IS APROX 5 YEARS OLD. HE WAS FOUND AS IS, TIED TO aLEJANDRA A FRIEND OF MINE
IN TARRAGONAS DOOR TO HER HOUSE. I WONDER IF THEY KNOW SHE HAS AN AFGHAN...
ANYWAY, SHE SAID HE WAS COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE IN FLEAS AND TICKS HE IS BEING
TESTED FOR LEISH ETC THE UAUL, NEEDS CHIPPING CASTRATING. VERY WEAK. HE HAS BEEN
CLIPPED AS HIS FUR WAS KNOTTED LIKE DREADLOCKS RIGHT TO THE SKIN SO HIS SKIN
COULD NOT BREATHE AND HE HAS DERMATITIS. HE HAS WOUNDS AND LUMPS ALL OVER HIM.
THOSE ARE BEING INVESTIGATED BUT THEY THINK ITS BECAUSE HE HAS PUS IN THEM AND
THAT THE GOT CAUGHT UNDER A WIRE FENCE POSSIBLY AND THE WIRE CAUGHT HIS SKIN
UNDERNEATH AND GOT INFECTED. HE HAS FARINGITIS AN EAR INFECTION FEVER AND THE
PADS ON HIS FEET ARE SO SOFT AS IF HE HAS BEEN ENCLOSED SOMEWHERE AND UNABLE TO
WALK ON THEM. HE WONT LET THEM TOUCH THEM FOR THE MINUTE BUT HE IS ON TREATMENT
FOR THE INFECTIONS AND FEVER, SPECIAL DIET. THEY ARE WAITING OTHER TESTS SO HOPE
HE HAS NOTHING ELSE.
THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR HELP FINANCIALLY, THEY ARE NOT IN ANY POSITION TO PAY ALL
THESE COSTS THEY HAVE 8 DOGS AND THIS ONE NEEDS CARE. PROBABLY WITH LOVE HE WILL
IMPROVE QUICKLY AMAZING THING LOVE... BUT THEY ARE ASKING FOR HELP, ACCOUNT
DETAILS ON THE DOCUMENT WITH HER EMAIL.
