  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – unwanted elderly galgo now safe

    Sandy of Galgos Rescue Almeria reports they received a call from a hunter that he had a galgo he was getting rid of, if they’d like to go and get him.  Here’s the story of Rayo and his rescue.

     

  • Please donate to vet fees to help galgo puppy Marino

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    It seems like only yesterday that little Marino, weak and fighting for his life, escaped with a vengeance. No one knew if he would make it—but this brave soul refused to give up. Today, filled with pride, Marino is taking a new step in his young life: his first vet visit.
    Today he’s receiving his first vaccinations, a microchip, and his European passport—symbols of a future that was almost stolen from him. Since his rescue, he’s grown into a strong, cheerful puppy weighing 11.20 kg (24 lbs), with eyes full of hope and a heart that finally dares to dream.

  • 2 young galgos at Galgo Rescue Almeria, looking forward to finding forever homes

    From Sandygalgoslover

    Introducing Lotus (3 years old) and Roquita (2 years old). In collaboration with Friends of Mazarrón Animals, these two sweethearts were finally freed from their previous owners.  For both of them, this marks the beginning of a new future, where they can gradually experience what safety, love, and trust truly mean.

    Lotus still bears the marks of his past: his body shows both old and recent scars. Yet, we’re already seeing the first signs of recovery. With the right care, rest, and patience, he’ll have every opportunity to regain both physical and emotional balance.

    We don’t stop. We are desperate. The galgueros don’t stop dumping and abandoning dogs destined for hunting. This galgo was abandoned in a village of Jaén. They’ve been behind her for 5 days to rescue her. He could have starved to death or a heat stroke, it’s coming very badly. She is now safe at our shelter.

    WE NEED TO FUND OVER 100 DOGS. YOU CAN HELP US IN THIS WAY:

  • Galgos in Chile – they suffer abuse too

    Argentina and Chile both use galgos for hunting. Every year, more than 500 greyhounds are abandoned in Chile after being exploited in racing and hunting. Galgos Chile have been working since 2018 to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewrite the destiny of greyhounds in Chile. Because they didn’t choose their past, but you can choose their future. You can be part of their rescue and give them a loving home.

    This is the story of Galgos Chile, translated into English if your computer doesn’t automatically translate the Spanish.

  • Foster or Adopt a Senior – they have just as much love to give


    From Galgos 112

    Have you thought about it, meditated, balance the pros and cons… but you don’t want a dog that’s too “active”.. Have you thought about a grandpa or grandma?

    And why not?….. Growing up doesn’t mean they have nothing left to give..

    They are caring, calm, understand perfectly the basic rules, they do not need so much activity as a younger one, they have not lost curiosity to know new places and things

  • Start of hunting season in Spain


    From Galgos 112

    On August 10, the “hunting tooth in hand” period of rabbit begins in Andalucia. It’s a minor type of hunting in which dogs are used to track and capture pieces, without the use of firearms. The terror begins for the poor dogs that won’t stop until February.

    We are noticing how the date is getting closer by the number of greyhounds and podencos that appear lying around: now is when they start to take them out of the zulus to prepare and test them. Every day there are new ones abandoned, they are the ones that aren’t strong or the ones that don’t serve them to hunt.
