Europe’s blind spot for hunting dogs
Across Europe, hunting dogs such as Galgos and Podencos often remain in a legal and social grey area. While companion animals receive increasing protection, hunting dogs are still too often overlooked in legislation, enforcement, and public awareness.
This lack of visibility creates a blind spot where abuse, neglect, and abandonment can continue without sufficient consequences or attention.
At EGPAC, we aim to close this gap by raising awareness, supporting rescue efforts, and advocating for stronger and more consistent animal welfare protections across Europe.
Because every dog deserves equal protection, regardless of its purpose or background.
Latest news about hunting dogs in Spain
Recent reports from Spain confirm that the situation for hunting dogs such as Galgos and Podencos remains critical. Thousands of dogs are still being abandoned every year, especially after the hunting season ends, with cases of neglect and cruelty continuing to be reported across several regions.
Animal welfare organisations highlight that dogs are often discarded when they are no longer considered useful, leading to a persistent cycle of abandonment and suffering. In some documented cases, dogs have been found injured, dumped in remote areas, or left without care.
Despite increasing awareness and public pressure, legal protection for hunting dogs is still considered inconsistent, leaving gaps in enforcement and accountability in certain regions of Spain.
At the same time, rescue organisations and international partners continue to step in, providing shelter, medical care, and adoption opportunities. Awareness campaigns across Europe are also growing, helping to bring more visibility to the issue.
The situation is slowly gaining attention, but for many dogs, urgent help is still needed today.
How our partner shelter operates
Our partner shelter in Spain works under challenging conditions, relying heavily on donations, volunteers, and international support to care for rescued dogs.
Every dog that arrives at the shelter receives immediate attention, including food, water, basic medical checks, and a safe place to recover. Many of the dogs come in with injuries, malnutrition, or signs of neglect, requiring urgent and ongoing care.
The shelter team works daily to provide veterinary treatment, rehabilitation, and emotional recovery for each animal. This process can take weeks or even months, depending on the condition of the dog.
In addition to direct care, the shelter also focuses on preparing dogs for adoption when possible, ensuring they are healthy, socialised, and ready for a safe future home.
Due to limited resources and lack of government funding, the shelter depends on external support to cover essential costs such as food, medication, and infrastructure repairs.
Every contribution helps keep this lifesaving work going.
