Sharing for @GalgosdelSol ...to find a home for this amongst many rescue dogs that they take care of
Tarmac is 8yrs old and is still waiting for a home 18mths later.
These black boys seem to get such little interest so can we share and help him out?
He’s quite timid but he does come around when he knows you ❤️
Let’s get him a home 🙏

It's time to ban it and then some!
It’s time to ban greyhound racing! Greyhounds are treated as disposable if they don’t race fast enough, suffer serious injuries on the track, and spend 95% of their lives in kennels. Huge thanks to @The_Blue_Cross and @AnimalAid for working towards this important ban.🐾

This may be a distressing watch. ⚠ Captured on CCTV by one of our foster carers, a spontaneous #Fireworks display shows the devastating effect on horse welfare. 💔
We’re urging people to reconsider planning or attending #BonfireNight displays and consider pets and wildlife.
