Baas Galgo have been helping rescue and care for dozens of galgos in Toledo, so they want to open and equip a refuge there. They desperately need funds for this project and you can help in the following way: please click on this link and add a comment. For every comment posted, the association will receive 50cents. Every 50cents will help towards the new refuge, as well as contributing towards the ongoing vet fees from the flooding earlier in the year in Cordoba.

More abandoned Cordoba galgas and a lame puppy
Cordoba again, yet another galga and puppies. Here’s the report from El Arca de Noe Cordoba.
’23 Dec. I was driving along a road going to a store on an industrial estate when a galga crossed my path, her teats were very swollen. I had to brake hard so as not to hit her. She ran into the rough ground on the industrial estate, and I then saw she was not alone, there was another galga with her, and a puppy – the puppy is lame.

Cuenca galga, dying from starvation, saved by Cuencanimal
Saved from the brink of death by starvation. Crouched in a hole in the ground, unable to stand to escape the volunteers, not understanding they want to save her. This dog has been starved for a long time. Cuencanimal has taken her into their care. The photos show her rescue and her visit to the vet. It will take time to build up this galga to a condition where she can be rehomed. If you want to donate to her care, the details follow.
Definition of STARVATION: starvation is a serious reduction in nutrients, vitamins and energy intake. It is the most extreme form of malnutrition, as a result of the prolonged lack of food. It is characterized by extreme weight loss, decreased metabolic rate and extreme weakness. Those who suffer from starvation may suffer severe damage to the organs and finally death. LADY was saved just in time.

Seville galguera threatens disposal of her galgas – any room for them?
Appeal from Seville, a Galguera (female hunter) wants to get rid of these two young galgas, as they are no good for hunting?! Doesn’t look like they have had a decent meal in a while! They are two years old, have their vaccines and cards (EU passport). Not much time left to save them before she takes them to the perrera.

Last chance for Toledo galgos on death row
These galgos are in the Toledo perrera and the association has been told it is the last time they will be allowed in there. In 3 months they have managed to take our more than 100 dogs, with the help of the protectoras and individuals who have made this possible. These are the galgos currently there, mostly young ones.
