Once they can no longer race, many UK greyhounds are exported to Asia and a life of hell before being killed in a slaughterhouse.

How long is too long to leave a dog alone?
Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human. Many suffer from separation anxiety. We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.
So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.

Galgo Batman hoping for a forever home
BATMAN – Small in size, black and white, with the sweet face of a puppy, Batman is a gentle, sensitive, and very kind galgo. The shelter is far too difficult an environment for him. Being small and delicate, he struggles in such an intense and competitive setting. He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a calm, protected home where he can live peacefully, relax, and feel safe.
Like many male galgos, Batman is affectionate, tender, and forms a deep bond with people. He is also good with other dogs. Batman needs peace, love… and a real chance.

6 more unwanted galgos dumped with Galgos Rescue Almeria
Help us save 6 galgos… they need us. A few days ago, we received a request we simply couldn’t ignore…A plea to help 6 galgos. 6 souls who are still with their owner (a hunter) in the Extremadura region. They have no voice. No choice. No certainty about what tomorrow will bring…We want to give them that chance. A life without fear. A warm bed. Care, love, and safety — things they’ve never truly known.But we can’t do this alone…To bring them to us, transport costs €70 per dog. And that’s only the beginning — they will need medical care, check-ups, vaccinations, everything required to finally give them a healthy start. That’s why we are asking for your help. -
Skin Lesions and Cancer in Dogs
As a family, we have lost 5 dogs, 1 horse and l cat to different types of cancer. Lymphoma reared itself as a lump on a galgo’s neck, which had spread. A sarcoma started bleeding under my horse’s tail. Cancer developed in my cat’s mouth. 2 more galgos had stomach tumours.
Weblink to an interesting article on lumps on your dog. It doesn’t always mean cancer.

Galgo mother and son rescued from the streets
From Galgos Rescue Almeria
We start the day with some wonderful news from yesterday. In the afternoon, two volunteers set off towards El Ejido to pick up two galgos. For months, Carmen has been working hard to bring a galgo mother to safety—she had recently given birth to nine puppies and still had a young son from a previous litter by her side. Not an easy task, as a galgo used to living on the streets doesn’t allow itself to be caught easily. But perseverance pays off. (more…)

Galga Dani with Protectora Scooby Medina hoping for her forever home
This is the beautiful galga Dani with Protectora Scooby who is hoping for her forever home. If you have room in your home and heart for her, contact Scooby direct.
Her photo really pulled at my heart strings as she is the twin of one of my galgas, Carmela, who I adopted after she had spent 4 years at the hands of a hunter who maltreated her. It took over 2 years of her living with my galga gang before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog. Very much loved and remember.
