Those of you who have a copy of my book will have seen the photos and read about Lucho, who developed leptospirosis and was nursed back to health by his devoted family, especially Chris. He had a very bad start, injured, rescued by Scooby, leg had to be amputated. And yet, with his forever family in the US, he received an overload of love and care. He became ill late last year and has been nursed by both Chris and Dr Couto of Ohio University. Sadly, he lost his final fight. I am sure you will all join me in sending comfort wishes to Chris and family, inluding the two remaining canines.

Cadiz galgos – seized from poachers – placements needed
Urgently need somewhere for these 3 galgos, all female, to go. They are in Cadiz, seized from poachers. Contact corilayka@gmail.com
And I’ll add a note here that hunting is due to start next month, hunters are advertising puppies for sale at 50 euros on Milanuncios, and yet the perreras still have dozens and dozens of young healthy galgos on death row. At times I simply can’t keep up with posting them all – however do the volunteers cope.

Huelva, Spain – injured galgo on the street desperately needing help
This galgo has been on the streets of Huelva for some months, as it was difficult to catch. As you can see, its rear hind paw is injured and it has many woulds on its body, as well as ticks. A woman has been finally able to gain its trust, take it home and treat the ticks, but she cannot keep it there, as she has no room – she has 6 dogs and her son is against it.
It desperately needs getting off the street and the paw and wounds treating. It lives with a mastiff, is submissive, calm but nervous of people. With the woman it now accepts caresses.
Can anyone take this boy – they’ve named him Triston. Please contact Paloma urgently.

These two young galgos were saves from Linares, are now in Resur, but could still be killed if no one takes them. Baeza refuge is full, and the other problem is that if the galgos went there, then it is quite likely they would be stolen – it’s that time of year! Donna is grey and white, Dunne has injuries everywhere which need treating. Please can anyone help us save them. Contact animalesdebaeza@gmail.com
