I’ve just tried to get onto the Baas Galgo website and been asked for a username and password. I knew this was odd, so emailed Sandra. She confirmed her website has been subject to a Cyber attack and it is being rectified. Is this someone trying to stop her work….those in Spain who object to the work of the volunteers will sometimes stop at nothing!

Dumped in a rubbish bin – Spanish galga Esperanza’s fight for life
Latest update on Esperanza, the galga some bastard tried to kill and dumped in a rubbish bin. What an amazing fighter she is, hanging onto life, and what an amazing team of people are helping her.
‘Esperanza’s surgery has finished. She is alive but she needs intensive care. Surgery has not been easy. Vets put needles and surgical cement to rebuild her broken vertebra. There is reserved prognosis, at least, until a couple of days, because her life is still in danger. Her health condition is delicate. If everything is OK, a new period of ten days will start.

5 puppies dumped in rubbish bins – life is cheap in Seville
As I said recently, I simply can’t keep up with the appeal emails coming into my inbox. And I have been away for the past couple of days, collecting our next foster dog who is bound for his forever home in the UK in September, so now there are even more appeals. This one is just translated from Spanish via Google Translate without corrections. Sorry. But I am sure you will get the gist of the stories, and it will sicken you.

The reality of Spain – this is what makes the animal rescuers ashamed of their countrymen
This is the reality of Spain. This is what the volunteers cope with, emotionally and physically. This is what makes them ashamed of the hunters and the dog breeders and those who give their country a bad name. The two associations involved in the rescue of these animals are Scooby Medina and Benjamin Menhert fondation.

Galgos del Sol – catching the abandoned galgos in Murcia
Galgos del Sol is a small association formed in October 2010 by Tina Solera, who had spent the previous few years saving galgos and podencos which ended up in Los Infiernos dog shelter. In the past 7 months GdS have rescued and rehomed 53 galgos and podencos. But as with all associations, they exist on donations and fundraising. Here are four of the latest galgos to be rescued – from the side of a motorway, in the middle of a lorry transport area, terrified loose on the campo. Vet fees are mounting, please donate if you can help them.

Update from El Albergue on galga dumped in a rubbish bin
Update on the galgo dumped in a rubbish bin. ‘It is a female galga, and is very serious, especially from a strong blow to the head but still alive. We are waiting to see how it evolves and will soon need a CT scan (scanner) of the head. She is now hospitalized at a veterinary clinic. Please, if you know who wants to help with veterinary expenses let us know, because in our humble association we can do no more, but the cases that come to us are so desperate that we can not ignore them and look the other way. A hug and thank you very much for your interest.’

Dumped in a rubbish bin in Seville, rescued by El Albergue – pray for him
I’m just one person sitting at my computer, trying to keep up with the news coming in from Spain and the Spanish Islands about galgos and podencos…..just this afternoon, whilst I took a couple of hours out to mow the lawn, 9 emails came in about galgos and podencos….on death row in killing stations in Seville, Merida, Cordoba, and on top of that there are the appeals from individuals about abandoned galgos in Malaga, Cadiz, elsewhere in Spain – can anyone in those areas help catch them? I do my best, but I can’t always post them all.
This story from a volunteer with the El Albergue asso sums up the galguero attitude to his dog.
