Here is the story of Nelson, a 4-month old galgo pup, rescued and in the care of SOS Galgos.

His conditions needed an immediate traumatological treatment. We need your help to pay the costs of the emergency aid and postoperative care and as well for possible complications.

Galgo brother & sister Sam and Sallie – waiting at 112carlotagalgos for a forever home together
Charl writes. Introducing Sam and Sallie. So young in age and trashed away. Galgo pups kept in the darkness of a shed and forgotten about … left to fend for themselves.

The norm here… and then they become prey to be robbed. So galgos from Maria head to us for safety.
