  • Galgo puppies fighting the virus – with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Further update from Sandy Galgoslover.

    Video

    ‘Running a rescue center means to be available for the animals day and night. Past night was tuff, almost a sleepless night, as Iris’s little ones have moved to our living room for care. They get food every few hours and the necessary attention & cuddles. Yesterday morning we decided to take 2 more little ones to the vet, both girls didn’t ate/drank anymore.

    We could visit their brother, he seemed to be on the mend, but it’s way too early to say hurrah. He will have to keep fighting hard in the coming days. Mum Iris didn’t looked very well, still the same: no improvement and her eyes radiated sadness. It’s heartbreaking to see them like this, if only we could take over their pain and suffering.

    Any help/support will be needed to cover their medical expenses. More updates to follow.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – a small shelter with a big heart

    From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria

    Volunteering for a charity fund raising is so important. Without funds we are unable to offer the full range of help and support the dogs need.

    Ask yourselves this question “ would you miss one euro a month “? That euro lying around everywhere,…..In the current situation every euro counts to help the animals in our care, and that is why we have set up a teaming group. For that small regular amount you can be part of our ‘Team’ (Galgosrescuealmeria) and support those who need our help the most. We’re hoping that most of our supporters and followers will join forces to raise much needed funds. All we are asking is that you commit to just one euro a month. Please follow the link below to be a part of this fund raising group.

    Remember in Teaming the important thing is not how much we give but with how many we are. Only together we can achieve more.

  • Abandoned in Toledo – need a safe place for her

    For those of us who don’t live in Spain and experience the terrible problem of abandoned dogs, it’s hard to understand someone being so close to this beautiful galga and ignoring her – not taking her in to a place of safety!

    From Irina.

    SOS GALGUITA ABANDONED IN A TOWN OF TOLEDO.

    People are giving her food because she seems to be always in the same spot, but as usual, she needs a foster to be able to rescue her.

    I will write to ERA to see if they can put a trap cage but of course without a place for her to go it is impossible to rescue her.

    Please, could any association help her? With the current heat she is in great danger of suffering a heat stroke or being hit by a car or even getting pregnant.

    If anyone could foster her, write me an email and we’ll organize the rescue. They think it’s a female.

    Thank you. irina.animalessinhogar@gmail.com

  • Galgos 112 – saving the abandoned and suffering Spanish hounds

    Galgos 112 Flower 400
    Over the years I’ve mentioned this association when they have taken on board the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs which the sub human hunters have tried to kill, without success, or have been unbelievably seriously injured on the roads. Here’s a story of just such another poor galga who, despite all her suffering at the hands of a hunter, still has the capacity to love,

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – 8 more new arrivals!

    GRA Badajoz 2 400
    8 new arrivals in one week, just after the pregnant galga! 4 new ones from the Badajoz region, a hellhole for galgos.

    And a couple of days later 4 more arrived. Fea, Alexa ,Drago and Rayó, they seem to be in quite good condition and not too traumatized. Drago has some wounds on his ears, Alexa has a wound on her hind leg and Rayó is limping. We will keep an eye on it for a few weeks and if no improvement is visible we will have x-rays taken.

    GRA is a small shelter overflowing with hounds, desperately needing help with vet fees and food.

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    For donations please:

    Paypal fundacion@scoobymedina.org

    Thank you very much!’
