Guardia Civil Launches Probes After Dog Attack, Well Rescue and Alleged Abandonment

Authorities highlight PPP obligations during active judicial processing.

Overview

  • In Matapozuelos, a Rottweiler–Belgian Shepherd cross certified as a potentially dangerous dog escaped a home without leash or muzzle and bit a woman and her dog, prompting an investigation of the owner for bodily injury and animal-related offenses.
  • The Matapozuelos case file has been submitted to the Juzgado de Instrucción de Guardia de Medina de Campo and to the Valladolid provincial prosecutor.
  • In Calanda, GREIM and SEPRONA teams rappelled into an eight‑meter aljibe to rescue a dog, read its microchip to identify the owner, and opened an inquiry for suspected maltreatment, with diligences sent to Juzgado de Instrucción nº 1 de Alcañiz.
  • In Albocàsser, agents entered a residence with a locksmith and an animal welfare group, found a dog alone in unsanitary conditions, transferred it to a protection center, and placed the owner under investigation for abandonment with papers sent to the Castellón courts.
  • Guardia Civil reminders stress that PPP ownership requires a municipal license, civil liability insurance, a permanent muzzle in public, and a rigid non‑extendable leash under two meters, and they encourage citizens to report suspected abuse or neglect.
