Our friends from Galgo Connection Spain in Valencia suffered a major loss of housing for their rescued dogs. Due to the economic situation, one of their reliable foster families has been forced to sell their house, leaving 11 dogs without a place to stay. Silvia and one of her volunteers have scrambled to start an emergency building project at the volunteer’s home to keep the dogs in a better facilities and in better living conditions than a cold boarding facility. Once built, the dogs will have a safe, comfortable haven next to the home with someone to oversee their needs 24/7.
Fencing and block pens are being erected now, and more building materials will be needed. G.R.I.N. has been able to help them start the project with a $1200.00 donation. Your contribution towards this project is essential for the future of GCS and the help they can offer their abandoned dogs. We ask that you consider this special project to make their dreams come true for 2012. Since donations are currently being matched, this will double your donation, stretching the dollars twice as far!

G.R.I.N. is also working with the oldest shelter in Cadiz Spain called Kimba to help them build a shelter. The modular building that was donated to them years ago is rotting and the floor is falling out, and they desperately need a replacement. The unit is used by the volunteers to change their clothes when they come to work, for potential adopters to have a place to fill out paperwork, and a wide variety other uses necessary to operations at the shelter. The cost of a modular building is approximately $1,200.00.

We will allocate our funds to both of these projects to help these shelters with their needs for 2012.

Thank you in advance for any donation you make!
We wish Silvia all the luck in the world with this new project. If anyone deserves it she does. She has helped me so much with difficult cases. Please donate and support this new project!!!!! SILVIA deserves it!!!!!!
Yes we all agree that Silvia has been an inspiration to us in all the work she does for the abandoned.
Kimba, one of the earliest animal rescue associations in Spain; Silvia, an incredible lady who helps galgos and podencos with horrific injuries and life threatening diseases. Both associations need all the support and help they can get. May 2012 be a positive and successful year for them with their rebuilding projects, and thank you GRIN and your supporters for helping them. Shame on the Provincial and City councils who don’t support and fund them, as the refuges and shelters provide a service which the councils should!
