  • The magic of a Spanish Galgo

    This is taken from a page about the greyhound but it also applies to the Spanish greyhound.

    They might be tall, lean, and built for the speed of the wind, but their spirits are as gentle as a summer breeze. Greyhounds prove that angels come in elegant, leggy packages, often found curled up on a soft sofa instead of racing across the sky.

    Their long, stilt-like legs carry a heart of immense kindness, and those deep, soulful eyes can heal the roughest days in an instant. We are incredibly lucky to be chosen by these graceful, affectionate companions who demand nothing but a warm spot to nap and a gentle hand. (more…)

    Urgent.  Who has got a spot.  This poor 10-year-old Galga is sitting in the Seville perrera. It is cold and wet. No place for such a sensitive old dog

    She served her master well for all those years, bred goodness knows how many babies, and this is the thanks she gets!

    2025 news from Galgos Rescue Almeria

    The past year was one of ups and downs. We faced unexpected setbacks and intense emotions, but also countless beautiful moments, shared with the special dogs who crossed our path. It was a hectic year that flew by, yet one we look back on with warm and grateful hearts.

    We think back to all the D-days: those unforgettable moments when our beloved dogs packed their bags to meet their new families. No fewer than 177 dogs found their happiness this year. A result we could only dream of, and one that was made possible thanks to our amazing partners: Associazione ZAC Odv , Un Levriero per la Vita, Project Galgo, Vegrennen EV, Simona Norkute (Lithuania), Helping Animals Almanzora, Friends of Mazarrón Animals, Stichting Wereldhonden, and of course you—our loyal supporters. By sharing their stories so widely, you helped give each of them a new future. (more…)

    This little guy recently arrived at the Rescue center. A tiny baby… trembling, scared, completely lost in a world that had been far too harsh on him. His eyes wide with fear, his little body so fragile you were almost afraid to touch him.   Because evening was already falling and the darkness was creeping in, we first settled him in very gently. No more stimuli, no new voices… Just peace, warmth, and soft words. You could feel in everything that he needed this after such a nasty, cold and heartless ordeal. As if he was finally allowed, after a long time, to breathe again.  Only this morning, with the first light, could we take a proper look at him… (more…)
