  • Galga Rosi hoping for a forever home

    SOS Galgos Rosi 1 400
    From SOS Galgos

    Rosi’s story starts sooner than we can tell you. Rosi appeared on the estate of a peasant in Segrià (Lérida). The man was able to pick her up and take her to the city hall. She was missing a piece of her tongue, she had no microchip, no sort of identification, and after stopping by the shelter, we asked for help so that she didn’t end up in a tiny, forgotten cage.

    She is about three years old, she is already dewormed, vaccinated and the results of her analysis are good. We don’t know anything about his past and he’s only been in the shelter SOS Galgos school for a day but he has a good character and doesn’t seem to have many fears. Welcome Rosi!

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – more galgos arrive

    A Week of Summer at the Foundation

    There is no rest, no comfort, no break between seasons; summer weeks are as demanding as any other week.

    Thirteen greyhounds have entered our facilities, and the team quickly mobilizes, providing veterinary check-ups and necessary care, as many of these dogs have had traumatic pasts. During the week, we assess illnesses, perform surgeries, handle neuterings, and look for potential adopters to ensure our dogs find a safe and loving home. Although the team ends up exhausted, Friday is a day of hope, with some dogs ready to go home with their new families. Each rescued greyhound is a victory and a reminder of the importance of our work.

    Please give us a hand

  • Galgos Felices Fundacion – galga Soraya with badly injured leg

    From Galgos Felices Fundacion

    This beauty is Soraya, we went to pick her up in Zaragoza. And so we found her, with a fracture badly healed because she was not taken to the vet. Of course we didn’t care and we brought her in, now we’ve had our first visit to the vet and she has to intervene so she can support her paw and be pain free. And when it’s okay, get her a real family. If you want to help Soraya, bizum: 09207 Soraya.

  • The sadness of a rescued galgo in Argentina

    Sad galgo 1a 400 7 2024
    Adopciones Rosario

    ‘He’s dying, he needs a family urgently because sadness is killing him.

    The story is long to tell it all, a protector of Casilda is moving and I joined (please help, the reviews do not add up and there is no time)

    He and his kennel mate were taken to a daycare, the black had trouble adjusting to other dogs and was reintegrated to the shelter.

    He was already tested and seen by the vet, no illnesses have been detected at the moment, it is clear that he can’t stay there and it is very important a place next to his partner ideally or by a full family to contain him while he is mourning.

    Stopped eating and he’s dying, he needs out asap. If you can help write to me 341 5501539

    I think this is in Argentina

  • Diabetes in Dogs

    What is diabetes in dogs and how to recognise it.

  • Arthritis in dogs – what is the best supplement?

    There are many products on sale which claim to ease arthritis in dogs. Interesting article on the subject on this link.

    However, from my own experience with dogs and horses, I have found Devil’s Claw to be the best. It is a natural ‘product’ which makes it even better. I use it in powder form sprinkled on food and purchase it from Equine Answers. I’ve recommended it to friends who have been pleased with the results on their own arthritic dogs.
