Can anyone take in these deserving souls? The situation is desperate.
Jauanito was living on the street, walking behind people to try and get their attention. He is in foster care. He is microchipped, vaccinated and has a full EU passport. He lives happily with other dogs (as do most galgos).
It’s been a busy week behind the scenes at Galgo News, with two more dogs brought out of Spain for new lives.
Oco is the little podenco caught by Charl when she was hoping to catch the Estepona galga. The galga, Oco and a cat had all been surviving together on the streets; the galga was the only one not to be caught.
Gaby was an abandoned galga living on the streets further south. It took Tina two weeks to eventually catch her and take her back to the Los Infiernos refuge where she is a volunteer.
You may remember earlier in the year that Charl del Rio was trying to catch the galga Estepona. Sadly she did not succeed before the bitch disappeared. Charl was certain the bitch was pupping. Now 8 puppies have been found, some of them have been taken by ADANA shelter for rehoming, the others remain in the hope that the bitch will return and can be caught.
Charl is appealing for someone to offer this sweet podenco a forever home.
‘This is Oco. He was rescued must be 3 months ago, when we first went to Estepona to see about the galga, with Encarnis trap from DDEVIDa we caught him, .. he is 4. He was owned by a hunter so who knows where he was kept, and then “given” so say, to someone a friend! To me that says he was on the street all that time, .. he is so cute, loving cheeky, he still has some fear and can yelp when you shout or move fast. He is castrated, vaccinated and negative in leishmaniosis, good with children, cats fine, he lived on the street with one, bless it.
He really needs a good knowledgeable home. When you stroke him he closes his eyes. he is caring and wants to be with you, he won’t sleep on a bed yet. He is in a foster home but the husband is allergic to the dog hair. He so deserves a good loving home.’

I recently posted an appeal on behalf of Pro-Galgo for help in taking 4 podenco canarios from Germany to the UK. The trip was successfully completed last weekend, and you can read about it here.
Remember Angie, the last of the 3 galgas saved at the beginning of January from the Jaen killing Station. She has been quite ill, and it has taken time for her to recover.
She is now looking for a foster or forever home. This girlie desperately needs a loving family where she can blossom and put on weight and learn to enjoy life, after the hell she will have been through till she was rescued from Jaen.
Contact Silvia on the weblink if you can offer Angie a foster or forever home.
Introducing Shadow, a tiny Podenca Andaluz, who is desperately in need of a loving forever home. She is the same breed as my little Bebe, a small dog with a huge personality, a loyal and affectionate companion. Read about Shadow on Podenco Rescue. Contact El Refugio Escuela
This handsome rough-haired podenco is Barajas, who spent the first part of his life on the streets. He’s now looking for his forever home. Read more about him on Podenco Rescue for details of how to adopt him.
This is the latest news on Sofie, the abandoned galga who was viciously kicked in the mouth. She had a second operation yesterday.
Silvia reports ‘Sofie is little bit better, the vet is feeding her intravenously through the neck, there is no other way. Her mouth is much better, the tongue has changed in two days and is not now bleeding. The jaw has necrosis but not so much as the vet thought, it is in the vascularizada ( I hope you understand I don’t know the word in english) zone and it regenerates very well. The infection is better also.’
Fight on, brave galga, and thank you Silvia and the team for saving her.
Donations towards the vets fees to Telma of Galgo Rescue or Silvia direct.
Here’s a photo of Sofie recovering after her operation. Sofie is the abandoned galga who was savagely kicked in the face and had her jaw broken. She is recovering, but will need another operation in due course, and she also needs a foster or adopting home to give her the help she needs to recover from the operations and her terrible experience. If you can help, please contact Silvie or Telma
