Familiar story. This poor podenca was abandoned in Valencia. She was wandering the streets. She got pregnant.

She had her babies, and then some kids got hold of them; used them like toys – put them in a box up a tree so she could not get them. She cried in vain at the bottom of the tree and the kids laughed! Can you imagine the distress of this poor Mum!

Fortunately a lady intervened, sent the kids packing – I’d have done a great deal more!

Remember the story of Noche, rescued by Degalgos. She was in horrendously poor condition, malnourished, with scabies all over her body, and had been attacked by rats.

Here she is, healed, looking absolutely stunning, and ready for adoption.

Contact Degalgos to offer her a forever home.

I’ve appealed for help for these 2 dogs, but now a galguerro has found out they are healthy and wants to take them! It’s highly likely he will try and steal them.

They urgently need to be removed from Spain – can you help?

This is the message about them sent to me today.

Great news is that Celo, the pregnant galga saved from hanging is now with Mo Swatek of Pro Galgo, for convalescence until she has found her forever home.

Pro-Galgo need financial help for the association Refugio Escuela Seville who rescued the mum and the 4 pups who survived.

Cameron is still looking for his forever home, he really needs someone soon, to carry on his training and teach him that life is about more than scavenging for food.

Use Babelfish translator if you don’t speak Spanish.

I’m watching/listening to Wimbledon, wishing the Spanish players to lose! I know, they are tennis players, not galguerros, but they are Spanish. That’s enough for me!

After the story of Kamal, at the other end of the spectrum is another example of the Spanish cavalier attitude to the value of life. Wha a miracle is the creation of a new life, whether it is a human baby, or a puppy. This little baby was found abandoned, just one month old!

This is the story .. its the same all over Spain… galgos everywhere, galgos in shelters awaiting their final day.

Unless of course someone steps in from another association or rescuer, and takes them away, but they still need a family.

Even from the slim escape of a death sentence and now await a family of their own. Well this is the story of Leonor and Corriente!! They were stuck in a shelter awaiting their final day which was coming faster than they knew. In fact days!

Once owned by a gypsy, these 2 boys have been to hell and survived. They are looking for a special person to give them a forever home together.

Sancho has the worst scars. Hung and burned with cigarettes, he also has a depressed fracture of the skull where his head was stamped on. Yet he still has love in him, to give to someone, in exchange for kindness and security. Luis probably came from a racetrack. Eventually they were abandoned.

He’s a beautiful greyhound lucky enough to be with APAH rescue on the Costa Blanca. Associacion Protectora de Animales Horadada.

APAH are very active in trying to improve life for abandoned animals in their area, especially for the hunting dogs. This is what they say on their website.

“Hunting is a very popular pastime in this area and while some owners care for their dogs the majority do not.

The Pointers and Greyhounds that end up with us have often been badly ill-treated with burns over their bodies, chains embedded into their necks and that is before they have been abandoned with no food or water in a strange area and left to fend for themselves.
