Estrella is looking for a forever home. She was diagnosed with Ehrlichia at the beginning of January, a very low reading, but, for whatever reason, treatment was never commenced, even when she went to her foster home. The only ‘symptom’ she shows, if one can call it a symptom, is weight loss, but that could also be due to the fact that they don’t bother to feed the dogs in the killing station. The only reason she was not killed is because someone had shown an interest in her.

Foster home needed for Teo from Alicante – one now found!
This rescued galgo Teo is having a hard time coping emotionally since he was rescued. He is very scared and hides from people, and so there is an urgent plea for someone with experience of coping with traumatised galgos to offer him a foster and/or adoption home. He’s in Alicante at the moment.

The International appeals network which is now alive is amazing – I can already report that a foster home has been found for him, where he can be treated for his anaemia and other problems.

Kafir – a galgo surviving against all odds – looking for his forever home
This is the latest news about Kafir, the poor galgo who tried to chew off his leg.
Cristina writes:‘I just want to tell you that Kafir was operated last Friday 8th January and the operation was a total success. The rest of his hind leg has been amputed and it was a wonderful job of our spanish vet, who sadly is already used to these kind of operations.
Poor Kafir had a bad waking up from anesthesy as he was crying very much and felt totally confused. He stayed in the clinic during the night and I went there to bring him his favourite rice with chicken and carrots for his dinner.

Holidays in Spain – not for galgos – pain and suffering is all they know
Could you chew off your own arm or leg? Kafir tried to. Cristina tells his story.
KAFIR ( ex Blacki on internet forums ), male of 70 cm, 3-4 years and is that special galgo of endless sweetness.
Kafir comes from Mérida ( Badajoz ). He was abandoned, always looking for food and one day he appeared with a terrible wire around his hind leg. It was so tight that it created a very bad and deep wound up to the point that the leg began to gangrenate.
Kafir was in so much pain and was suffering so much that he himself began to bite himself up to the point that people saw him, saw that the leg was hanging only by a tendon.
