5 more form the orginal 74 dogs in the gypsie camp in Murcia, one heavily pregnant just about to drop, the others covered in terrible wounds. Once again Galgos del Sol are being supported by Andrea Animalas Rescue and the Henrietta Foundation who did the transport for them, otherwise they could not have got the dogs.

Yet more shocking images of what thousands of these dogs are suffering. Please, please,more people consider adopting, donating, helping in any way you can. I am now arranging the adoption of my 7th and 8th rescue dogs, both sweet little galgas – I know this will be hard work as they settle in, but I also know how much reward there is in watching them gradually blossom and learn that they are truly loved, that there is happiness and kindness in the midst of this cruel, brutal world. A little galgo doesnt take up much space, could you fit in one more? Though I am probably ‘preaching to the converted’ here, so apologies! Oh, if only there were more loving homes.

me!! Well done. Would you like to send me some rehoming stories
about your galgos?

Thanks, Beryl, be glad to. I have only one galga at present, and five English/Irish greyhounds. I only got Rosa last year and she had to go through six-month quarantine. I started following the websites during the gypsy camp rescue, and that persuaded me to adopt my second galga, Pili, hopefully arriving April. I had intended to wait a year or so before adopting a third galga but the situation seems so dreadful now overall, and because I was desperate to help Kena, and then Grace, (both stories which I saw here, so I will blame you, LOL)I decided I could fit one more in, while releasing another rescue space. Since I am starting my behavior training business,I can cope with an 8th. Not everyone is this position, I know, but these are wee quiet,(cheeky, funny and incredibly loving) easy dogs, so they can fit well in to most circumstances. I’m working to promote awareness here in scotland so hopefully more will be adopted here in time, but the biggest problem is transport costs and poor transport links.

Hi
Norma Young is an SOS Animals volunteer in Scotland
and she picked out Podenco Campanero Chaplin on PP. Through her efforts
and contacts, plus my friend Marisa as translator with Macu, Chaplin eventually
travelled to the UK and is now in his forever home. Maybe you and Norma
could join forces in some way to promote the galgos and podencos. Good
Luck with your business, and if you ever want to write an article for my blogs
on training, I will be pleased to publish it. Send me your galgo rehoming
stories when ready.

oh good on you fiona you are bril i have 3 rescue irish greys myself and a dalmation i did want to get a galgo but the expence of getting one over here was to much for me and i onley live in a 2 up 2 down beryl told me to get one from gin but they wouldnt of passed home check my house to small and already have 4 dogs i do sponsor galgos with gin and donate what i can to each apeal on gal news
Rosa came from GIN, it was still very expensive as I had to travel to gloucester twice, with overnight stays and pay for care for the other dogs. Rosa was my 6th,(and supposedly last) but I have a large old farmhouse and a small paddock/orchard. The rooms are all oldfashioned so they are large. Thats why, although quite a few people have suggested I am off my rocker, I did feel I could take more. I would take a dozen if i felt I could give them the care and attention they need, but I live alone so there is no one to help with walks etc. We can each do only what we can, but at least we are doing something, and all we can do when we reach our dog limit is then to donate and to enlighten other people to the situation. Someday you will get your galgo and maybe a pod too but meantime, you are helping many dogs to safety and health and that is a tremendous thing to do. There are just too many people who go ‘Aaah!’ then walk away and forget. You are brilliant because you do as much as you can.
