What you don't see when you look at a greyhound 💔

I was born in a cold, damp corner, among metal sheets and garbage. My mother could barely stand; she was skin and bones, and yet she gave us everything she had. I was one of many: just another greyhound born from the discarded land, in the cruelest precariousness.
I grew up rummaging through the garbage, learning not to trust. Sometimes there was food... sometimes, blows. One day they tied a rope around my neck. The training began. Running, running, chasing hares. It didn't matter if I was hungry, scared, or hurt. If I fell, they kicked me up. If I was useless, I knew my fate.
I was used. And when I was no longer useful to them, they left me. Alone. Hurt. Thin. With a broken soul.
This is not an isolated story. It's the story of thousands of greyhounds in our country. Used as tools. Condemned to a life of confinement, abuse, and abandonment.
✋🏼 Banning hunting with dogs is urgent.
✋🏼 Breaking the silence is our responsibility.

We have added new members. It was very difficult to catch this dog who had a miserable life in a commercial establishment, a tire shop, where they fix vehicle tires. Her owner, a detestable person, did not want to give her up; his plan was to pick her up and abandon her along with her puppies.
An employee of the place who alerted me of the situation and who trusts the dog, caught her along with her beautiful puppies of all colors and here she is safe.
Her name is Vida, the babies are just two weeks old. He is eating Royal Recovery cans and good food, the babies have been dewormed.

The babies continue to grow and are beautiful, already dewormed and soon to receive first doses of vaccines. The mother will be sterilized, the babies on the street could not have survived.

Thank you!

Today has not been an easy day, we have rescued Athena, and twelve puppies!! She was in the hands of a greyhound, he used her for hunting. She is super anemic, full of lice and fleas, she is already taking supplements and good nutrition to be able to breastfeed correctly.
We have given her a super comfortable mattress so she can rest.

Thank you! El Refu

Hello shelter friends

On Valentine's Day, as the world immerses itself in romance and gestures of human love, there is one type of love that shines with incomparable purity: the love for greyhounds and dogs rescued from abuse. In our refuge, where beats of hope and compassion resonate with every bark and every caress, we discover the true meaning of love.

In a world where cruelty often darkens the human heart, rescued dogs are beacons of light, reminding us that unconditional love can heal the deepest wounds. Each of them carries with them a story of pain transformed by the power of care and dedication.

On this special day, we honor the indestructible bond that forms between humans and animals. It is a love that transcends words and is expressed in simple but significant acts: a walk in the sun, a gentle caress on the fur, a look full of gratitude.

In our shelter, we witness the magic of love day after day. We see how broken hearts find comfort in the loving paws of a canine companion, how lonely souls find company in the caring eyes of a rescued greyhound. Here, every bark is a symphony of love and every wagging tail is a testament to regained joy.

On Valentine's Day, we remember that true love knows no limits or conditions. It is found in the moments shared with those who need us as much as we need them. And at the dog shelter, we find a love that transcends words and embraces the soul, reminding us that ultimately the purest, most enduring love can be found in the hearts of those who have been rescued from suffering.
