  • 2 Scooby Galgos living happily in Italy

    Marta Maui's arrival 400 8 2020
    It’s lovely to have a happy rehoming story to publish, I hope you enjoy reading the story of Chiry and Maui.

    ‘I am Marta Pedrali, I read all your articles since I adopted a galgo. I adopted a beautiful black and white galgo two years ago and a brown one last year. I love them so much and I do not understand why people treat them in those ways in Spain and in other parts of the world. For this reason, I share my story, my daily life with my special galgos through a Facebook page called “Chiry the galgo & Maui” in order to make people understand how amazing life is with them and how sweet they are. I also volunteer in an Italian association that homes them, its name is “Progetto Galgo Onlus”, we are in the province of Bergamo, Italy.

    Paolo and I (Marta) are a couple that the 30th June of 2018 adopted, for the first time, a black and white galgo named Chiry. We adopted Chiry with the help of an Italian association called “Progetto Galgo Onlus”. Chiry comes from Protectora Scooby Medina in Spain. I chose him (it is a “he”) personally, after looking at the website of Protectora Scooby. On their database are plenty of dogs, I couldn’t choose at the beginning. But, when I noticed a photo with that face so sad and frightened, he caught my eyes and it didn’t take a long for me to understand that it was him, Chiry, that I would have surely adopted! Now, two beautiful and intensive years have been passed since that hot afternoon when Chiry came to us.

  • PACMA reports – 3 galgos beaten, bagged, dumped in a river and left for dead

    From PACMA.

    ‘Without truce against the abusers, today I tell you that we are going to bring to court who beat up three greyhounds in Seville and then put them in bags of feed, which he tied and threw into a river.

    Two of the dogs died, but one of them managed to get out of the bag through an opening, and save himself.

    It is chilling and the suffering suffered by these animals is unimaginable.

    Gabi, the surviving greyhound rescued by the El Amparo del Sur Association, recovers in a house where he receives the affection and care he never had, and will never be mistreated again.

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – small shelter saving the galgos and podencos

    GRA 2 thin puppies 400
    From Sandy Galgoslover.

    ‘GRA is active for 3 years now. After many disappointments and deception by false prophets who pretend to be animal lovers with the motto: “everything for the dogs” while their real motives are: “everything for our own benefit and profit”, we are now surrounded by the right people with the right intentions and we can give many dogs a new and better life.

    But to save dogs and provide them with the necessary care and medical treatment to adopt them, money is needed, a lot of money.

    As a small shelter it’s a daily struggle to survive and we depend on donations.
