  • Chained to starve to death – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Video

    At the end of last week, we received a call for help that we simply could not ignore. What we found there touched us deeply…
    High up on a mountain, far away from everything and everyone, stood a ruin that could only be reached on foot. And there, from a distance, we caught a brief glimpse of him… a Galgo who had been abandoned and left to fend for himself.
    How is this even possible? How can anyone abandon a living, feeling soul in such a place, under such appalling conditions? A dog who depends on humans, yet was condemned by those very same humans to a life on a chain.

  • Spanish hunting dogs need protection by law

    🎬 PPP Hunting 🐗
    Collaborative video between Aula Animal and Plataforma NAC
    🎤 Why are hunting dogs not included in the animal welfare law?
    🐕 Dogs, who are sadly used for hunting, are not included in the animal welfare law because the hunting lobby has exerted strong political pressure to prevent them from having rights.
    In this way, they remain completely unprotected so that hunters can continue to use them as mere tools in their hunting practices.
    🎤 Why are millions of wild boars, roe deer, and rabbits raised annually to repopulate hunting grounds?
    🐗 Millions of species intended for hunting are raised annually in hunting farms so that hunters have enough prey to kill.
    These hunting farms carry significant risks and negative consequences for animals and the natural environment.
    An argument in favor of hunting is that it helps control populations of wild boars and rabbits.
    Hunting does not help control animal populations; on the contrary, it is the hunting industry itself that produces artificial overpopulations causing imbalance in wild populations.

  • Asociacion Animalejos – galga Emily looking for a forever home

    May be an image of text that says "ASD.PROTECTORA ASO. O.PROTECTORA 一無"

    This is Emily.   She arrived several months after suffering a complicated fracture, but all that is behind her and she is now completely recovered.
    At first, she was cautious and only trusted her foster humans who have worked hard to turn her into what she is today, a happy, sensitive galgo with a huge desire to feel loved. And it is so beautiful when a galgo starts to trust and show her true character.
    She is incompatible with cats and gets along great with the dogs in the foster home.
    Emily is 3 and a half years old and is already ready to start the life she deserves, she just needs someone to give her the opportunity to discover it.

  • Galgo Felix – with filaria and a chopped tail – please donate to vet fees with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Today marks almost one week since this sweet boy was finally freed from his chain. A moment that changed the course of his life. He was given a name that suits him perfectly: Fénix.
    This morning, Fénix was examined by our vet for a thorough medical check-up. He was vaccinated, received his identification microchip and passport, and a blood sample was taken to test for the most common Mediterranean diseases.
    Unfortunately, the rapid test for heartworm (Filaria) did not give a clear result. An additional laboratory test is therefore needed to determine whether he is infected.
    But there is more worrying news…
