Refugio Kimba is the oldest animal shelter in Spain, down in Cadiz. Here’s a lucky new galgo safe at the shelter now after weeks on the street.
NEW RESCUE HERBIE
He was on the street for several weeks, he approached people but wouldn’t let himself be caught. Thanks to two people feeding him doing a routine and the team at SOS RESCUE, we were able to rescue him.
Hhe had some wounds on his back paws but they will heal soon.
Welcome to the family
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
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,
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.
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.

Besides beautiful girls, we also have stunning boys looking for a home. Like this happy boy, he loves cuddles and playing with the other dogs. He is not very big and walks good on the lead and is not scared at all. Chip: …3287.
These 2 must be brothers because they look exactly the same, both so gorgeous and handsome.
From Sandy Galgoslover
‘The 3 newcomers have had a quiet night. Viru & Atila don’t look bad at first sight, but it doesn’t mean they each carry a backpack from their past. The oldest of the 3, Zeneque is in bad shape. His skin shows many bald spots and has a red rash probably as a result of staying/sleeping in a dirty unsanitary environment. We immediately started a treatment with a special ointment that serves to make the skin supple and healed.

From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria
‘Buleria arrived at our shelter on March 17th. She came straight from a hunter region Badajoz, Extremadura.
For those unfamiliar with Extremadura, this region is very rural and along with Andalusia, animals are generally treated very roughly.
Buleria was so scared at her arrival and unfortunately she’s still afraid of men.
Step by step she gains a little more confidence, hopefully in time she will be able to forget her harsh past and heal from her abuse.
Buleria is such a lovely soul with a very gentle and soft character.

The galgueros are bastards when it comes to blackmailing rescuers. This appeal was on facebook last weekend, I’ve asked if they have been rescued. This is the story.
‘These 4 galgos are with a galguero who no longer wants them. We want to get them out and get them to safety, because we know their owner will get rid of them one way or another.
They are relatively old, the galguero is impatient to see them leave, he gets angry, and made it clear to us that he was not going to wait to get rid of them….
We still and always need donations to save them, and/or an association to take over.
