Save the Galgo – Stop the suffering

Galgos del Sol rescuing more hounds

On Wednesday 10/2/2016 Galgos del Sol and Tina Solera rescued several galgos and pregnant podencas.  Here is the video

‘Yesterday we got a call to say that a galguero locally (Murcia) had been closed down and fined by Seprona and could we help take the dogs. This was an emotional case for us because it’s on our doorstep and we had been waiting for some time for this news. We had approached before to help to no avail and we had reached out to the authorities but nothing happened. There are a lot of ghosts around this place.  I don’t want to write about them but I’ve seen them and I’ve cried and I’ve waited this moment.

It’s not over yet tho, with one galgo very ill, the stress of the move threw him into extreme panic… Usually I stay calm but emotions & memories from the past here just took over and now I’m utterly drained instead of happy, the pressure got too much as the collapse of one of the galgos.’

Update – the galgo was kept at the vet clinic and is now slowly recovering.
