  • Escape from Jerez killing station – forever together in the UK

    Holly in jerez 12 2010 In the middle of December I posted one of many appeals about galgos dumped in Jerez perrera for killing – the Spanish hunting season was only half over! An email arrived in my Inbox from a lady in the UK who had her eye on one of the galgas and asking if I could arrange contact with someone nearby Jerez/Cadiz who could rescue her. As I’d already asked for a young one to be rescued for me, wheels were set in motion. The galgas were reserved – 3 and a puppy, and 112carlotagalgos travelled to the perrera to collect the dogs.

    One of them, beautiful Risa, came to me for foster and rehoming – she is now with a lovely lady in northern France. Sadly the puppy became very ill and died. Holly, as the cream galga was named, was put into kennels, as was the other galga – who was very timid and lacking in confidence.

  • Rehoming a greyhound/galgo

    This is a beautiful poem which will bring a tear to every eye, from Galgo Love Foundation website.

    REHOMING A GREYHOUND

    I didn’t really want you, I wasn’t really sure
    And I’ll admit I had my doubts when you came through that door
    Not small, or cute, or fluffy, with big soft puppy eyes,
    But tall and thin and bony, with bald pink bulging thighs.
