Weathertogs, who make stylish high quality dog coats, with an especially well-designed range for greyhounds/galgos, recently donated a quanity for use in the rescue centres in Northern Spain, where the nights can be very cold for thin-skinned galgos.
Based in Suffolk, UK, the challenge was to get the coats transported at minimum cost!
Responding to a posting on AngloInfo, John Chambers offered to collect them whilst visiting family in Essex, and brought them back to France. A dog lover himself, he said he was very happy just to help.
The coats should soon be winging their way southwards. Thanks to Wendy Amon, proprietor of Weathertogs, for her extremely generous donation.
Any more tales of donations, email me direct.

Hi I just sent a box of coats to a volunteer at an APO address in Spain, I am in California, who will move coats onto a friend named Charlotte del Rio in Malaga area who will then get them to the girls running the Cuidad Animal Shelter. I will continue to make coats and send in this manner as I am very worried about those freezing galgos.
I have been making fleece coats for the galgos for years now, but for some reason I am focusing on Cuidad Animal right now as I think they are in such need..

Hi
Thanks for your interest in my site. Charlotte is in contact with me, a wonderful person who works so very hard for the galgos. Which shelter have your coats gone to, La Bienvenida or Pedro Munoz?
I have a couple of volunteers near me who are going to make coats too.
If you have any news about happenings in Spain, through your contacts, which you think should be mentioned on Galgo News, do let me know.
