A vestibular problem is more likely to manifest itself in older dogs. If you notice your dog’s behaviour changing – balance, head tilting – then this could be a possibility.

Galgos Rescue Almeria – a small shelter with a big heart
From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria
Volunteering for a charity fund raising is so important. Without funds we are unable to offer the full range of help and support the dogs need.
Ask yourselves this question “ would you miss one euro a month “? That euro lying around everywhere,…..In the current situation every euro counts to help the animals in our care, and that is why we have set up a teaming group. For that small regular amount you can be part of our ‘Team’ (Galgosrescuealmeria) and support those who need our help the most. We’re hoping that most of our supporters and followers will join forces to raise much needed funds. All we are asking is that you commit to just one euro a month. Please follow the link below to be a part of this fund raising group.
Remember in Teaming the important thing is not how much we give but with how many we are. Only together we can achieve more.

Abandoned in Toledo – need a safe place for her
For those of us who don’t live in Spain and experience the terrible problem of abandoned dogs, it’s hard to understand someone being so close to this beautiful galga and ignoring her – not taking her in to a place of safety!
From Irina.
SOS GALGUITA ABANDONED IN A TOWN OF TOLEDO.
People are giving her food because she seems to be always in the same spot, but as usual, she needs a foster to be able to rescue her.
I will write to ERA to see if they can put a trap cage but of course without a place for her to go it is impossible to rescue her.
Please, could any association help her? With the current heat she is in great danger of suffering a heat stroke or being hit by a car or even getting pregnant.
If anyone could foster her, write me an email and we’ll organize the rescue. They think it’s a female.
Thank you. irina.animalessinhogar@gmail.com

Galgos 112 – saving the abandoned and suffering Spanish hounds
Over the years I’ve mentioned this association when they have taken on board the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs which the sub human hunters have tried to kill, without success, or have been unbelievably seriously injured on the roads. Here’s a story of just such another poor galga who, despite all her suffering at the hands of a hunter, still has the capacity to love, -
Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – left for dead, saved by FBM
And another story of the amazing work done by the Spanish volunteers to rescue and rehabilitate a poor galga left for dead.
A NEW MIRACLE CALLED RENEE. She was found half buried. As a consequence, her hind legs did not respond.
X-rays and other tests showed no injury to either her spine or her legs. But Renee couldn’t walk … Still we never gave up, and we set out to rehabilitate her paws and make her walk.
A miracle, an achievement of the entire team, and her enormous spirit of self-improvement have made Renee eventually walk. We can call it a miracle, because it certainly is. But it has also been the result of intense and hard work by her veterinarian Mariana and her physiotherapist Elena, who never threw in the towel, and by all of us who have always encouraged and helped her achieve it.

Protectora Scooby wins the battle
From Protectora Scooby‘Last year we picked up a galgo with a chip whose owner did not want him, so we brought the fact to the competent authorities. Well, a few weeks ago we got the resolution of the filed complaint and we share with you to give us if you want your opinion, because if we take into account that the poor dog could have died, been run over (among other things) 3.001,00 € fine left something short…
The good thing is that now our handsome boy will have the chance to start a new and happy life with a family that values and truly loves him.
