  • Greyhounds in Need – supporting 112 carlotta galgos

    Greyhounds In Need logo 400
    Greyhounds in Need was founded by Anne and Arthur Finch in 1998 to highlight the plight of racing greyhounds and find forever homes for them. Anne was also involved in the closure of the Barcelona racetrack and homing the 700 greyhounds there. Now Greyhounds In Need focuses on helping Spanish galgos. Here’s the tale of how they helped 112 carlotta galgos back in 2019.

    We were recently able to visit Charlotte and Dioni at 112carlottagalgos in Malaga. They had moved premises since our last visit so we were all excited to see their new finca. It was larger than their previous finca but Charlotte and Dioni have worked hard to make it a lovely place for the galgos to live and be cared for until they are ready for adoption.

  • Looking back on 2024

    Beryl 5 dogs 400
    So another year draws to a close. Another year when the Spanish government has done nothing to protect the hunting dogs, their over-breeding, the cruelty of the galgueros, using them just as a hunting tool and discarding at the end of January when hunting in Spain finishes each year. Thousands abandoned in the campo, dumped in perreras, dumped outside shelters.

    One difference in my 15 years involved with the plight of the galgos and podencos is that there aren’t the hangings in olive groves which there used to be. The bad publicity has possibly been one influencing factor, plus the increase in shelters and rescue associations to help these wonderful dogs to find forever homes around the world.
