Despite progress in animal welfare, dog abandonment remains a major issue in Spain, with over 135,000 dogs abandoned yearly. Foundations like Fundación Affinity, El Refugio, SOS Galgos, Fundación Benjamin Mehnert, and Galgos del Sol are tackling the crisis through rescue, rehabilitation, advocacy, and education. Their efforts promote adoption and responsible ownership, offering hope and a second chance to countless dogs across the country.
