Pepi’s refuge was founded by Alan and Jane Brian (seen below) in 2005.

They had no intention of starting a refuge, but, after finding a dog hanging from a tree on their land they decided that they would do what they could for the abandoned and ill treated dogs in this part of Spain.

Since opening, the refuge has provided shelter for more than 400 dogs and re-homed more than 300.

Pepi’s was originally built to take about twenty dogs but now has more than forty, with the sick and injured dogs being cared for in the house. Many of the dogs that arrive at Pepi’s are badly injured, or have been ill treated and are traumatised by their experiences.

Pepis address:	Pepis Refuge, Las Revueltas, Camino de Hormigo , Pedrera, Sevilla, Spain
Tel number:	00 34 662 437 824

I am an animal Activist in NL,Canada.I currently have a petition against Puppy mills & pet stores in NL,Canada that support this.
The Canadian government is ignoring millions of caring canadian voters by failing to address animal cruelty as a serious form of crime in this country.I believe,like many others that animals should be protected & deserve some moral consideration.

Puppy mills need to be banned.....the legislative & public opinion will change this.

I commend you & your team on the work you do .
There is a need in the world for more salubrious people like you.

Janice, a friend of Tina's. Tina & Gaynor, with their team of wonderful volunteers, run the Galgos Del Sol refuge in Murcia, Costa Blanca
If YOU can help by taking a galgo/podenco please email Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com or ring her mobile 693 100 712 Galgos del Sol is dedicated to every galgo espanol; those who made it and sadly those who didn't. Galgos del Sol is a small rescue based in Murcia, Spain that rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK and other parts of Europe. Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane. Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run by two dedicated women, Tina and Gaynor, assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers based in Spain, France and in the UK. Galgos del Sol es una pequeña protectora con sede en Murcia, España, que rescata galgos abandonados y heridos (galgos españoles de caza) y los rehabilita y les encuentra hogares para siempre en el Reino Unido y otras partes de Europa. Miles de galgos son abandonados o asesinados cada año al final de cada temporada de caza y como en España normalmente no los consideran mascotas por lo general terminan en perreras, donde acaban con su vida y a menudo en formas que no consideraríamos muy humanas. Galgos del Sol depende totalmente de donaciones para su supervivencia y está gestionado por dos mujeres muy involucradas, Tina y Gaynor, con la asistencia de un grupo de voluntarios con sede en España, Francia y en el Reino Unido.
