  • Galgos in Chile – they suffer abuse too

    Argentina and Chile both use galgos for hunting. Every year, more than 500 greyhounds are abandoned in Chile after being exploited in racing and hunting. Galgos Chile have been working since 2018 to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewrite the destiny of greyhounds in Chile. Because they didn’t choose their past, but you can choose their future. You can be part of their rescue and give them a loving home.

    This is the story of Galgos Chile, translated into English if your computer doesn’t automatically translate the Spanish.

  • Foster or Adopt a Senior – they have just as much love to give


    From Galgos 112

    Have you thought about it, meditated, balance the pros and cons… but you don’t want a dog that’s too “active”.. Have you thought about a grandpa or grandma?

    And why not?….. Growing up doesn’t mean they have nothing left to give..

    They are caring, calm, understand perfectly the basic rules, they do not need so much activity as a younger one, they have not lost curiosity to know new places and things

  • Start of hunting season in Spain


    From Galgos 112

    On August 10, the “hunting tooth in hand” period of rabbit begins in Andalucia. It’s a minor type of hunting in which dogs are used to track and capture pieces, without the use of firearms. The terror begins for the poor dogs that won’t stop until February.

    We are noticing how the date is getting closer by the number of greyhounds and podencos that appear lying around: now is when they start to take them out of the zulus to prepare and test them. Every day there are new ones abandoned, they are the ones that aren’t strong or the ones that don’t serve them to hunt.

  • Galgo Jamal – saved from death’s door with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert

    Galgo JAMAL arrived severely beaten and on death’s door. His condition was guarded and everyone at @fundacionbenjaminmehnert held their breath while they took his soul in their hands. Jamal was just a puppy. He had sustained injuries you never want to know let alone see. His road to recovery was guarded.

    See his journey from his arrival day to now. He is nothing short of a triumph against the very worst of mankind. He also shows you the very best of mankind, because had he not been taken in by FBM, he would not be here today.

    Jamal has had a long journey but he has never given up and nor have we on him.
