  • Galga Siena – abandoned in a dumpster in Spain – saved by Galgos 112

    Galgos 112 Siena 1 400 3 2023
    From Galgos 112.

    ‘Last week we were asked to help Siena. She was found poorly in a dumpster, eating hard bread and surrounded by muck, quite thin, with ticks and fleas and with a tail wound.

    But it’s not all going to be bad, the best thing about Siena is her character. Despite all that misery, she is a nice and sociable galga, when she sees you she wags her tail very happy and leaves with everyone. Her tests are good and as soon as she recovers she will be available for adoption.

    We are still in need of foster homes. Siena is in residence with other galgos waiting for their chance, but would be much better off if they could recover in a home with a family.

    If you can host Siena send your info, location and phone number to info@galgos112.com‘

    From Puntanimals

    Human cruelty will never cease to amaze us.

    We have just received this beauty in the state you see. We don’t know how she is able to stand, she is just bones. We will call her MALALA because she is a great fighter and we will get her to pull through.

    MALALA will of course not be in adoption until she is recovered, we will keep you updated on her progress.

    These are the dogs that the new animal welfare law leaves desolate.

    To donate to her care, feed, vet fees, PAYPAL: puntanimals@hotmail.com

  • Refugio Kimba – a year saving Spanish hunting dogs

    Refugio Kimba logo 300
    FEBRUARY 1 WORLD GALGO DAY

    They say out there, that greyhounds dream their whole life with a life to come, they dream their home, their family, every place, and that dream helps them to be able to get through their reality of abuse and torture. Many make it and others get left in the way.. So when a greyhound comes to your life is not that you have chosen but he dreams.

    The end of the hunt comes and with it the end of their lives or the release of others.

    Over a year we collect many dogs, but the vast majority are hunting dogs, especially greyhounds and podencos. It is very painful to see how they arrive with their souls totally shattered, atrocious fear and utter distrust for human, not to mention the physical wounds. Dogs that pee and defecate on you when you look into their eyes… We can’t imagine what they’ve had to go through.

  • Galga Sena with Refugio Kimba – escaping life on a chain

    Refugio Kimba Sena 400 2 2023
    This story from Refugio Kimba about galga x Sena.

    Sena, the warrior princess, is looking for a home.

    This precious little girl hasn’t had a good life. She’s been chained all her life, she didn’t know anything, just her little house and the shadow of a tree, she couldn’t love more than a meter and a half.

    Right now she is in a foster home, she learns very fast, walks very well and is slowly learning more new things. She’s a little timid with other dogs, but she’s learning to play too.
    s
    She is approximately 8 years old, of which he has not had a normal life, she weighs about 22 kilos. Her time has come, life on the chains is over, now come the soft beds, good food, good walks and love and pampering forever

  • One galgo is never enough!

    I often say galgos and podencos should come with a health warning – one is never enough, they are such wonderful loving and rewarding dogs. We regularly had 4 or 5 at our farm in France, a couple of which were failed fosters! Here’s a lovely story about a canine family adopted through Greyhounds In Need.
