The bestiality and cruelty of men knows no bounds. An abandoned galga in the hellhole of Badajoz, was being fed by a volunteer, trying to catch her, has returned now kicked in the mouth to break her jaw. This is an appeal for donations to pay the vet fees for the rebuilding work.
From Telma Shaw of Galgo Rescue and GRIN.
Dear Friends of Galgos and Greyhounds, I come to you to ask that you might help me help this special case that just came to me this morning of the galga we just named Sofie being rescued as I write. These are the details I have right now.
My rescue friend Silvia in Valencia Spain who I have worked with for years, got the call last night. Her friend Isabel in the town of Badajoz, southern Spain, called her hysterical and crying. This is the lady that rescued Paquito, a podenco GRIN brought here last year. A galga that she has been feeding since Feb. 10th appeared last night in the frightful condition you see in these pictures. This was a very scared galga that was coming closer and closer everyday for food, then, someone, a monster, must have kicked her in the mouth with such force that her jaw is hanging, tongue and teeth damaged.
I know it is hard to look at but, after Silvia assessed the situation from 500 km away, the only thing she could do is say, yes, I will take her. Silvia cannot leave her wandering the streets in this condition. She has arranged a personal transport for Sofie to Valencia via several drivers. She should be arriving this evening in Valencia. She will be assessed by the vet as soon as possible. Sofie can’t eat or drink right now but help is on the way.
If you find it in your heart to send Silvia a donation it would be so appreciated. She already has many dogs in her care at the dog pension who are in need of different care and needs help for Sofie, Two are recovering from malnutrition and mange, other needs 2nd operation for broken leg, Angie continues to see the vet for follow ups because of severe stomach/worm problems..and more, so it goes on and on…I hope they can save this girl..any contribution will be appreciated..you can PayPal to silvia_vcia@yahoo.es
Please note after the name silvia there is an underscore. I thank you for considering this help for Silvia. You know I only ask when it is of extreme urgency. This I am asking apart from GRIN of whom helps many other cases. Thanks
Telma
p.s. if you rather send me a cheque, I will paypal your donation to her myself.

I am disgusted by this, I will be sending a donation later today! xx
Just sent a donation, It was not a huge amount as I am fighting for our galgos also but every bit adds up. I urge everyone to donate even a little, it all adds up and we must help this galgo…. poor soul, what a horror story. I hope the man who did this is caught!
Thank you Beryl for posting this story. I hope this beautiful dog has a chance at recovery.
Am sending check to you. Poor puppy. Are you planning to return her to the place she came from? Where will she be safe?

Bonjour
Sofie will need a foster home to go to, to recover
from her injuries and for care during ongoing treatment to rebuild her
mouth.
Then she will need a forever home – certainly far
away from Spain and the hellhole of Badajoz!
Thanks for caring and donating. The Spanish
volunteers need all the support we can give them.

The dog has no ambition, no self-interest, no
desire for vengeance, no fear other than that of displeasing.

this is beyond despicable
i am too angry to cry
when this person is caught
should be an eye for an eye
J’aimerais savoir quel est le montant total de la facture d’intervention + des soins. A qui puis-je m’adresser?

Hi
Thanks for reading and commenting. Sofie is
now at the stage where she can take liquid food through the mouth – from the
vet. There is a short video but I dont have the facilities to post it on
Galgo News. Im waiting for someone to post it on YouTube and then I can
run a link.
But, bless her, this courageous galga, with the
fantastic help of the veterinary staff and Silvia is fighting for her life
and to be able eventually to eat normally, and find a forever
family.
Thanks for caring about the galgos.
