Wisbech Galgo and Podenco Rescue

WISBECH GALGO AND PODENCO RESCUE

Run by Barbara Townsend and her mother Chris with the help of Janice Freshwater and volunteers.

Unfortunately, due to ill health, we can no longer accept dogs for rehoming but we are still fund raising for other small rescue charities. If any rehomed dogs need to be returned, they will either come into our own home or be fostered.

We can be contacted by calling 01945 430311, 07717 217347 or

Hi everyone, i havent been keeping you all updated due to ill health but i would like to say a big thankyou to everyone that showed up to our annual dog show again this year. 

 We managed to raise £600 that will be going to Last Round Retirement in Jumilla, Murcia, Spain.  Run by a lovely man named Jens.  He runs the recue from his own home without any outside help covering all the vet fees etc. by himself.  When he was informed that we were sending him the money he actually cried.  These are the sort of rescues that we would like to help.

Due to my own ill health and now having to look after my mother i am no longer having dogs for homing in our kennels, but instead doing  fundraisers to help small rescues needing help.

Any dog that we have homed that may have to come back for any reason will either come into my own home or go into foster homes.  If you need any more information or help please feel free to contact me.
