Abandoned in a hidden Almería cove and left to starve, rescued dog Bergantín now needs a home
A cove so remote that boats are the only way in is a hard place to imagine someone would abandon […]
In a remote cove off the coast of Almería, Spain, a dog named Bergantín was abandoned to starve in July near Las Negras, a stretch of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar coastline. A boat tour company's crew spotted the weak, malnourished dog during one of their routes past the cove and raised an alarm. A local woman named Rocío took him off the rocks, into an abandoned house, and had him checked by a vet, who also checked for a microchip.
The rescue crew named him Bergantín, after the secluded cove where he was found. Bergantín was later taken in by SOS Perros de Adra, an animal shelter in Adra that relies entirely on volunteers and donations. The shelter is now appealing for food, financial donations, volunteers, and ideally, additional space with outdoor grounds.
A Madrid-based animal association, Nueva Vida, has shown interest in adopting Bergantín, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet. For now, Bergantín remains at the shelter in Adra, awaiting his future.
