In memory of "Little Pod", Angela, who lost her fight this morning, to parvo.

Taken directly from the Galgos Del Sol Facebook wall tonight.

We have received messages of support for Angela from the following countries,.... Spain, Germany, France, America, Italy, Denmark and the UK. This little pod touched hearts all over the world.

Angela, named after two amazing ladies with huge hearts and souls for galgos, podencos and any animal in need, for Angela wasn't just special she was so much more. Named for Angela who sadly passed away, she was the heart and soul at Tailends refuge in England and also for her saviour in this world, Angela who took her... into her home and loved her with all her heart and soul.

This baby podenca was spotted by us at the Jerez perrera. Where many a dog comes in, free from the hell they know,but into death. For here, they meet their ends, cold hungry, sick. Those who arent sick would generally become sick here, for the floors are damp and environment cold. Cold and hard.. in every aspect of life. There is no love here!

You can see the harsh handling of this podenco within the perrera, for these animals are not treated with warm hearts, nor are they looked upon for having feelings themselves. All terrified of their fates. Only a kind hearted volunteer who sends out emails to those of us who care, can give these animals the chance of freedom. Some, just never make it as the amount is way too many.

Angela had a few happy days where she couldn't have been loved more. She was cuddled, stroked, kissed and encouraged to be a happy playful puppy. She even got to sleep on the sofa with her foster mummy of a night, she was one happy little pod. However, Angela showed signs of being unwell and went down hill. struck down with parvo and too weak to fight it, she closed her eyes in peace.

We are so sorry, a puppy with everything to live for. Robbed of life through poor care. But it was too much for her tiny body, she coudn't fight anymore in this world so she left us and ran over the rainbow bridge to a place where another beautiful lady, Angela waits for her with big open arms. A place where there is no problems, cruelty or danger for this little podenca.

You were loved little one, we will never forget you.

Sr.galguero, you have blood on your hands.

Run Free Angela!

Never forget!

Angela, nombrado por dos señoras quientenia su alma llena de amor para los galgos, podencos y cualquiere animal.

La pequeñita Angela fue rescatada por Galgos del Sol. Como podemos ver en la foto, la podenca fue tratado con manos duros en la perrera de Jerez. Una vergüenza y asco, tratado sin sentimientos, y como los animales alli tampoco siente nada. Tirados como basura. Muerto de miedo cada perro entra alli pensando que estan libres del maltrato que le han sufrido antes, pero no.. esto sigue. Podemos ver en la foto no!

Si no estan enfermos cuando entran, la mayoria cogen enfermedades alli. Los suelos estan frios, humedos, y con poco posibilidades de un futuro. Esto depende de un voluntario quien esta alli, haciendo fotos para mandar a personas y asoc. quien tiene una alma. Asi si, los con suerte puede salir de alli. Si no, es la pena de muerte.

Angela fue rescatada, llego a manos de Angela, pero con el tiempo se ha empeorado. Tenia Parvo, demasiado debil y malita para luchar, hoy se ha cerrado su ojos para siempre.

Te amamos Angela. Estoy segura Angela esta alli esperando te con brazos abiertos y nunca mas vas a sentir dolor.

Que tristeza.

Sr.galguero tus manos estan manchados de sangre!

Corre Libre Angela!

Nunca te olvidamos.

I am absolutely heartbroken. I read all the wonderful comments and cannot believe so many people have been following her story. It started just as a laugh to put her on facebook and say Hi to the world this is a little podenco. Then it became a mission to inform everybody about the killing stations and what happens to similar dogs and to tell them about Galgos Del Sol who rescued this "Little Pod". 4 months ago I had a boring humdrum life and went day to day in a safe enviroment doing everyday things. Now it is upside down. I met Tina who runs Galgos Del Sol and she has brought tears and laughter to my life. The dogs are wonderful creatures and Tina does everything in her power to bring them out of their hell and into a warm and safe environment with permanent homes. I hear the names Richard, Silvia, Charl, Salvador and others who I have never met but work so hard with these animals. We are a team in Playa Flamenca who raise money for Galgos Del Sol who will now try harder to do more. Because of "Little Pod" more people are now aware of us and what we do and I know a lady who had been following our story has offered to take a podenco from PEPA which is another charity we help.
A little unknown podenco rescued from the killing station has become famous and is loved by so many. I personally am taking a step back for a few days to grieve for her because I keep reading all the things on facebook and start crying all over again. People have been so kind. Thank You for taking the time to read about our "Little Pod"

Oh Angela, you're such a beautiful soul to be so caring (& I'm going to meet you for the first time very soon). 'Little pod' is a celebrity, WHY though did she have to suffer so much in her short life. You gave her a safe home & love, she knew it! We all feel much the same about her even though all we've seen are her photos you have shared with us. We share your grief x
