Barkinside rescues dogs from the local area and throughout Spain. We also assist other rescues that need our help, if requested and we are able. Dog collars impregnated with deltamethrin are used to control the infection of reservoir dogs. Leishmaniosis cannot be transmitted from dog to humans Barkinside advises that all dogs in and from Spain should have a blood test annually. LEISHMANIASIS Seroprevalence : "...the frequency of individuals in a population who have a particular element and especially antibodies to an infectious agent in their blood serum..." If caught early and not affecting the main organs, Leishmaniosis can be treated and controlled very effectively and the dog can lead a long and happy life. Dogs are the main host and main reservoir of Leishmania infantum, a parasite that causes death in symptomatic dogs (canine leishmaniasis), when not treated. This parasite is transmitted through the bite of a sandfly (a small insect related to mosquitoes and flies) in tropical and subtropical countries, but direct transmission between dogs, and from pregnant dogs to their puppies, exists. A dog’s immune response can contain the infection, preventing active disease, for months-to-years; it can take up to 7 years from the point of infection before signs of disease develop. Canine Symptoms commonly include: skin problems (especially around the head and pressure points), enlarged lymph nodes enlarged spleen, eye problems, weight loss, lethargy, reduced appetite, nose bleeds, and vomiting and diarrhoea. There are many common blood test abnormalities seen in Leishmania infection – although none of these are specific for the infection. Canine leishmaniasis is expanding to the Northern Hemisphere, where it was barely known.This is due to climate change and the importation of dogs. Several vaccines have been developed in the last decade, but their efficacy is limited and not guaranteed to be 100% effective, this includes the innoculation available in Spain. Veterinary researchers are still waiting for the ideal drug that can eliminate the parasite from target organs and limit transmission. How it spreads: When female sandflies bite and feed on blood of an infected host, they can acquire the Leishmania parasites. These parasites can then be transmitted to another host by the same sandfly species during a subsequent blood meal. Additionally, Leishmania can be passed from a mother to her child, from a female dog to her puppy, or through the sharing of syringes. In southern European countries, Canine leishmaniasis, (now referred to as "CanL"), seroprevalence reaches high levels. Prevelance in Spain: CanL is widespread in Spain. It can be considered endemic in almost the entire territory. In the southeast section of the country, the seroprevalence was calculated at 23.7%. Hot spots have been found in the Axarquia region (Malaga). Figures are lower in central Spain (1–5%) and in the North, whereas in the Pyrenees and northeastern areas, 19.5% prevalence was found, mainly among the hunting dog population. Low prevalence numbers (0–2.5%) were found in the Canary Islands, although imported cases were not ruled out. This disease is mostly unknown by veterinarians outside the endemic areas. In Humans the parasite manifests in various forms, causing visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in populations in the Mediterranean Basin, North Africa, South America, and West Asia. Cutaneous leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania tropica), causes skin sores which are often self-healing within a few months, but which may leave ugly scars; it occurs worldwide, including the Mediterranean coast. Visceral leishmaniasis: (caused by Leishmania infantum), causes systemic disease, presenting with fever, malaise, weight loss and anaemia, swelling of the spleen, liver and lymph nodes; most of the cases reported worldwide occur in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan. Risk for people A noteworthy number of leishmaniasis cases in the European Union (EU) come from outside Europe, often due to travel to tropical countries where leishmaniasis is more prevalent. Vaccination and treatment: Currently, there is no available vaccination for this parasite. However, various treatments exist, although over time, the parasite has developed resistance to some of these medications. Protective measures include: using methods like mosquito nets treated with insect repellent, applying insect repellent directly to your skin, managing the presence of insects around your home.

FAQ's about those dogs in our care and regular updates on their progress and welfare. We also post photos and information on each dog and the daily life of the Rescue Centre and Sanctuary and the work we do here. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQ General What is Barkinside? Barkinside rescues dogs from the local area and throughout Spain. I also assist other rescues that need my help if requested and am able (please visit the "our friends" page for more info). The sanctuary will take on any dog, no matter age, health, or condition. They will be cared for and rehabilitated, found homes or can stay here in our care for the remainder of their lives. We help dogs in the kill stations of Spain to find freedom and safety. We have local fosters who assist me in giving the rescues homes and stability. We save dogs where we can who are deemed beyond help, to old, to sick, to injured, to mentally scarred/scared (visit the "our dogs" page for their stories, and our current appeals). We are not a boarding kennels. We are also not a protectora (official Spanish animal welfare organisation) so we cannot legally pick up local stray dogs. For this service you should phone one of the local dog rescue charities Alma (click here) or Hondon Valley Animal Rescue (click here). This website promotes those dogs in our care and gives regular updates on their progress and welfare. Photos and information on each dog and the daily life of the Rescue centre and sanctuary and the work we do here. All of the work that goes on here is done by those with nothing but love in their hearts for the dogs and other rescues in residence. Barkinside has a great support system within the dog rescue and local community without whom we could not carry on. How can I contact Barkinside? If your enquiry is urgent, we have several ways to get a fast response: - Use the chat box at the bottom right of every page - - Call us using the telephone button below (or click here) or send an SMS - - Leave a message on our Facebook Messenger - or us the Contact Us page we will do our best to respond as soon as possible Can I visit Barkinside? PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Due to our already huge workload, the additional preparation and work required to support our new weekly fundraising Car Boot Fairs has meant we've had to rearrange visiting times at Barkinside. These take place on the last Sunday of each month at El Canton New School Hall. (For location, booking and info, click here to open WhatsApp, or message us on 697122883). The new visiting times are Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm. Strictly by appointment. You are welcome to come and visit us, I love nothing more than visitors, (to play, walk or just sit with the dogs, there are areas set aside just for this) or bring donations, items for the Boot fair or hopefully adopt/sponsor a dog. But for the sanctuary to continue running safely and effectively, we need your co-operation, so we would very much appreciate if everyone could please respect the new arrangements above. More detailed information about our new arrangements is available here. Many thanks. How do I make a donation? Barkinside is supported by donations and gifts from individuals, we cannot survive without all the help we receive from our many friends and supporters. Many of the animals in our care need costly veterinary or medical attention on arrival, and the more successful we are in our rescue mission, the higher our day-to-day costs are. We are always in need of prizes for our regular raffles and events, please contact us if you would like to donate, or visit our donations pages (financial) (food and cleaning). If you would like to sponsor a dog or donate to those in our care, this would be very gratefully received by us and all the animals we help. 100% of all money received is used to help those we have rescued, none of it is spent on staff or administration because we all work on a voluntary basis. Scan the QR code, or click here to donate via our FetchPay account. Many thanks What food and cleaning materials can I donate? Many of you have asked me what to buy if you want to make a physical donation rather than cash. Our Food and Cleaning Materials page can be found here. We are so lucky through the kindness of supporters to be offered food and cleaning materials. We have over the last 10 years tried everything, (all our products come from Mercadona (in Spain)), the regular foods listed below offer the dogs a good nutritionally balanced diet and rarely give any of them an upset tummy and they love it. We don't like to mix (with other brands or products, as the dogs don't like it and we get dicky dogs). The cleaning materials (towards the bottom of this section), do a great job, don't irritate the skin and smell lovely. FOOD The orange food for the bigglies (Compy con Pollo Ternera Frutas Verduras /Compy with Chicken, Beef, Fruits and Vegetables. Complete food for adult dogs of medium and large breeds.) approx. €5/4kg or €17,50/18kg Link to Mercadona online shop here The yellow and purple for the littlies (A good balance and no upset tummies.

SPONSORSHIP SPONSORSHIP SPONSORSHIP SPONSORSHIP SPONSORSHIP If you would like to Sponsor any of our rescues you would help us greatly. Our spending on food, vets bills, special dietary requirements, medical care is a huge monthly expense and we are in a constant struggle with it daily. We always have over 30 dogs in our care and others coming in every week. We are lucky to have a good homing rate. The more we home the more we can save. As difficult as it might be to hear this message over and over again - we have no choice but to keep saying it. The Barkinside financial situation has not improved and continues to be an ongoing battle. Everyone at Barkinside is constantly thinking about how to bring in extra money. SPONSORSHIP Barkinside Sponsorship Scheme Barkinside Sponsorship Scheme Barkinside Sponsorship Scheme Barkinside Sponsorship Scheme We hope very much that Battersea , the London-based globally famous and successful, animal rescue organisation don't mind us borrowing a little bit of their brilliant marketing campaign. But we think their model fits Barkinside and our supporters well. This method of sponsorship opens up supporting Barkinside to a wider public, and turns what can be a bit of a boring (especially for younger people) donation system into a two way and fun interaction. All animals in our care will have a number, so: this can be included in the reference of the chosen donation method, so specific donations can, wherever possible go towards spending on items, food, toys, gifts or care for a specific animal of your choice, sponsorship packages can be given as gifts for birthdays and Christmas / Holidays to friends, family and loved ones (please read more about this here), each animals number will relate to a special section on their personal profiles (these can be found on our Our Dogs page which will have a list of suggested gifts, items the dog needs and things that maybe arent so urgent but would increase their quality of life - or maybe their favourite treats they will be given a birthday even if we dont have an official one (maybe the date they were rescued), so their sponsors can send a birthday card or gift (the same for other notable dates in each dogs calendar)etc) when the times comes for a sponsored dog to make its journey across the Rainbow Bridge (please see our new Rainbow Bridge collection here , currently under construction), small memorial gifts can be purchased for the gardens or special arrangements can be made for the current sponsorship to be transferred with ease and no extra fees or chatges, like the way their sponsorship system works not just from the financial Point of view of Barkinside but also to increase the connexion between our supporters and the dogs luxury treat bag special bed gift new jacket new collar favourite treats (offer basic choices) SPONSOR A DOG SPONSOR A DOG SPONSOR A DOG SPONSOR A DOG

REPORTING ANIMAL ABUSE IN SPAIN Firstly, some advice from protectapet about the cultural differences between what may be seen as unacceptable animal abuse to some people from different parts of Europe, and what is viewed as an acceptable (or legal) way to treat an animal in Spain. "What we do have to remember is that pets in Spain are not as pampered as perhaps we are used to. Dogs, are mostly used as working dogs here in Spain. So before you denounce your neighbour for keeping his dog chained up in his yard… remember that as long as it has food, fresh water and shelter from extreme weather of any type … then the Police may not agree that depriving it of a blanket is tantamount to animal abuse." Thanks to a couple of tools and websites, one from the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, and another from the ´Animal Party´/ Partido Animalista PACMA, anyone who is concerned about an animals welfare in Spain does not need to be concerned, or intimidated by the possibility of understanding local law or the processes required to make a report about animal abuse. Both tools open the process to anyone facing problems with language. OPTION 1: AlertCops AlertCops is a free mobile application, created by the General Sub-Directorate of Information Systems and Communications for Security (SGSICS). It has a new functionality, called “animal abuse”, which will allow any user to inform Policía Nacional and Guardia Civil of animal abuse discreetly and immediately. In real time, users can use the "animal abuse" icon to immediately report abuse when they witness it. Users can choose whether they want to communicate the alert by call or by chat. It also gives the option to attach photos or videos about the event. The alerts will be sent to the closest police centre where the corresponding action protocol will be activated. OPTION 2: PACMA / Yo Denuncio Current advice from The Citizens Advice Bureau of Spain : The ´Animal Party´/ Partido Animalista (PACMA) has developed a website called ¨Yo Denuncio / I denounce¨ with information on how and where to denounce animal abuse with the relevant authorities, with a set of tools to make the process accessible to all. OPTION 3: CONTACT US If you are unable to use either of the other options, please contact us and we will do everything in our power to help you.
