Rey, King of the Galgos – needs your help

112carlotagalgos is a very small family association which concentrates on rescuing and rehabilitating traumatised, sick and injured galgos and podencos. Some months ago we told the story of Rey, abandoned, surviving on virtually nothing, he’d finally collapsed and almost given up the struggle. Some months on, he is doing ok, but a new problem has arisen. Rey needs help! He needs you, we need you! Here’s his story…

Rey came to 112 Carlota Galgos several months ago, found giving up, life had let him down. He lay in the dust with life draining from him,.. down and out. He was seen and rescued. He stayed with his rescuer in Sevilla for a month and along with Polyana joined us at 112 carlota galgos for us to recouperate them and socialise them into family life.

Rey .. seems he has everything against him, he is a black galgo in Spain, he is older and he is a natural hunter. He cannot be scolded for something which has been bred into him, he lived and kept himself alive by hunting. He is a hunter, he will hunt, and yet he will walk by your side like the gentlest galgo you know.

Rey arrived with habits which had kept him alive, pooping and then turning around and eating it. Searching out others who had pooped, and doing the same. This took time to change. He also came to us with a fractured front leg, ankle. This had soldered itself, and didnt appear to bother him. Rey has learnt there is food twice a day, he has gained weight and gleams. He is affectionate and giving, he wants to be by your side and be loved. He has to be walked in a galgo muzzle due to his instinct, and this has to be adhered do.

Now things have changed for Rey!

Over the last few weeks Reys ankle has begun to bother him. on becoming worse he saw Paco the vet today. Sadly there is no remedy for this particular fracture, however the remedy will be to relieve the pain Rey is in.

He is on analagesics until Wednesday next week. The choices are that the bone will be fused together, or plated. Either way his leg will be left rigid and will not bend but the pain will go and this is priority. Its a degenerative issue in that its an old break, fused itself .. and now we have to honour Rey by helping him.

This surgery is expensive. The quote is Aprox.800 euros!! Rey needs to have this operation, and he is booked in to receive it.

Rey needs help, if you can help Rey in anyway I would be most grateful. This is a massive amount of money to raise for 112carlota galgos. Please help Rey. We can’t achieve all we do without you. Without your help it puts mass pressure on us for other surgeries, other rescues needed.

If you would like to help us help Rey, it would be amazing!! Please place REY as the reason of donation.

Rey needs a special home, someone who will understand his needs. Who will understand who he is, who will promise to give him their all, and care for him for eternity. PLEASE HELP REY!

My deepest thanks, .. Charl In galgo Affection
