‘So we just picked up this galga in the municipal area of the Station – Linares – Baeza.
A very serious case of animal abuse, it has the whole back in live flesh and in the first X-ray we have done, they have detected the femur completely separated from the body. Looks as thought she was hit by a vehicle and dragged along the road.
Right now she is stabilizing and they are going to do all the healing to see the severity of the damage. It is going to take a long time for the physical damage to heal, as well as the emotional ones.
WE ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF HELP – please donate

When will the Spanish Government do the right thing – banish hunting with dogs and stop the uncontrolled breeding of hunting dogs.

This beauty is Danna, the supermom who gave birth to her 5 puppies on the street and brought them forward. Now that they are all adopted and happy with their families, it’s her turn.
Danna is in residence waiting to go to a home with whoever wants to foster or adopt her. You don’t know what you’re missing by delaying it.
Danna, besides being beautiful, is sweetness in galga form. She loves cuddles and human contact. She is very well behaved and has a calm temperament. When he sees you with the strap in his hand he comes running to you to put it on and go for a walk. He can live with cats. Hopefully someone notices her soon.
Email info@galgos112.com for more information on how to foster or adopt Danna.
This week I had a message from a lovely lady whose Mum adopted a little podenco X from me 13 years ago. After a wonderful life in a loving home he developed cancer and has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. RIP Bobby.
R.M. Drake from the book ‘ Dog People’
“What’s the hardest part about having a dog?” they asked, their tone casual, like it was just another question.
The hardest part about loving a dog is knowing that one day, you’ll have to say goodbye. From the moment they come into your life, you know their time is limited, but you push that thought away, pretending the day will never come. You invest your heart in them, share the quiet mornings, the playful afternoons, the long walks that seem endless. They become more than just a part of your life—they become a part of you.

URGENT: Help Zola & Louie Find a New Home. Please share UK only.
We’re reaching out to all of you for help in finding a home for Zola and Louie, two beautiful Podenco Canarios who were adopted from us several years ago. Sadly, due to personal circumstances, their adopter can no longer keep them. It would be a dream come true for them to stay together, as they share a special bond, but they can be rehomed separately if needed. Louie would need to be in the company of a confident dog.
Here’s a little about these two amazing dogs:
They are both Podenco Canarios, originally rescued from Lanzarote.
7 Years old Approx 18 kilos and 65 cms to the shoulder. Both are great with other dogs. They currently live with a cat and are cat-friendly!
Located between South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

Some of you may have known but many didn’t.
Salvador was named by one of our adopters and was so honoured to be that one. He was found in a hellish state having been attacked by the Galguero’s other dogs and left to rot. For everything that followed, Fundación Benjamín Mehnert words will hit you very hard. We send strength, love and eternal thanks to everyone there. He will never ever be forgotten. His name is etched in our hearts forevermore.
It is heartbreaking for us, but for them, it goes beyond..
Open letter from Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert
3 incredible protests in London, Manchester and Glasgow. 500 people and almost 300 dogs spreading the message far and wide about these magnificent creatures who are so forgiving and resilient despite the hand they are dealt.
From Protectora Scooby
It’s almost the end of hunting season with galgos and they are dismissed at a great scale, as always! Almost on a daily bases they are left behind by the galgueros in our Scooby shelter where at least they have a better chance to a dignified life and a better future. Here you see just a few of the ones abandoned the last couple of weeks but there were many more.
Hunting in Spain with hounds finished on 31st January. February 1st is Day of the Galgo. This year there are marches in over 32 cities around Europe to protest that animal laws in Spain do not protect the Spanish hunting dogs from maltreatment. Demanding that hunting with hounds is banned permanently in Spain and the Spanish islands.
