  • Galgos 112 – Adoption Fair a greyt success

    Galgos 112 adoption weekend 450
    Recap of the Adoption Fair held this past weekend.

    Despite the bad weather, it was an intense weekend, where what we would like to emphasize the most is the good work of the organization and the union of all the participating protectors.

    There was a huge turnout of people as there were plenty of activities for both kids and adults. Dog walks were held as most of the participating protectors brought some doggies to introduce them.

    But the moment of the afternoon was when the different associations came up to talk about their work and Rechy, with a very emotional speech, tore up more than a tear to the people gathered there.

    Thank you all for coming, the visits we like so much and the organization for having counted on us. We are already preparing the next fair!

    Galgos 112 Galicia good morning!!! 🇺🇦 #standssolidarios #ayudaquesaveslives #adoptwithresponsibility #dontbuyadopt #solidaritystore #galgos112official #samedogsmismaley

  • Puntanimals – galga Candela needs a foster or adoption

    Puntanimals Candela 1 400
    From Puntanimals

    We need a foster home for Candela.

    A few months ago they gave us notice that a very weak skeletal sparrow had appeared in a field. We took care of her and she has since been recovering in foster care. As you can see below CANDELA doesn’t look the same, it’s great.

    Her foster can no longer take care of her, and we believe that entering the shelter would be a very sudden change for her, so we ask you to make a space in your home for her.

    We take care of feeding, vetting, etc.. Just needs a home until she finds her forever family.

  • Galga Candela – a slow road to recovery

    Carole van Tielen Candela 400 8 2023
    My female galgas were usually around 23kg in weight, my males 25-27kg. So I find it impossible to imagine a galga weighing only 11kg!

    This is Candela who arrived at the end of May in a deplorable state, weighing only 11 kg. Here she is at 19kg. She is 1 and half years old. She is still scared of humans. But gets along great with dogs.

    So now she is hoping for a forever family. Adoption in Belgium through Carole van Tielen.

    This is the story of Puntanimals Shelter in Umbria, yet another area bad for hunting dogs. (This stunner is Esperanza)

    ‘https://www.puntanimals.org/nuestra-historia/

    Puntanimals is a non-profit association created to help abandoned and mistreated animals. The idea was born from the hands of a fighter, animal lover who wanted his dream of helping those most in need to come true. We are located in the town of Punta Umbría (Huelva). Since before having the shelter, we already collected the animals that we found and we looked for a home where they were safe and had their needs covered. Officially we have been operating since 2011, it was when we decided to rent a place to be able to protect all the animals while we look for a definitive and responsible adoption for them.
