In December 2012 112carlotagalgos took two galgos from a perrera – Jade and Ebro. When they arrived at the finca, Ebro had two broken front legs. Jade sadly fell ill and died – Ebro fought against all odds to survive for her. His story is another example of the incredible fighting spirit of the galgo and also of the complete dedication of hundreds of volunteers throughout Spain who devote their lives to putting back together the broken bodies and minds of the innocent souls.

Chained galga starving to death – now fighting to live
This is galga Adina – chained up, no food, no water, left to starve to death. Rescued and taken immediately to the vet and kept in the clinic for a few days to monitor. Now she is safe with 112carlotagalgos. Charl tells the story – briefly
‘I now introduce you to Princess Adina!
Survival is her wish. Her longing to live through the darker days held her… brought her to this.. home.
At the moment we’re not testing her .. everything seems to be working ok for the moment. Bowels and urine. But she will be watched. Tests of the usual would only be false at this time. So recuperation is what she needs. Rest. Food. Rest. Food.
She longed to live.. here she is. Welcome to finca 112 Carlotagalgos special girl.
Embraced by chains.. you have been released. We have prayed for you. For strength to see a new day.. It’s yours to take now.. day by day. Little by little.. you will see your forever.’
Vet fees are already mounting, plus special food costs – please donate by paypal to comdelrio@hotmail.com.

‘Close all perreras’ – the debate – and one in Murcia which SHOULD be closed
A post appealing for people to sign a petition to ‘Close All Perreras’ on my Save the Galgo facebook page generated a lot of discussion, after I posed the question – if the perreras are closed, what is your alternative solution to the problem of Spain’s abandoned dogs. Posted here are many of the responses.
