5 galgos puppies born in a shelter, who will never know the cruelty of the Spanish galguero.

Galgos en Familia is a shelter dedicated to the rehabilitation and adoption of Galgos, founded with love and commitment by Vera Thorenaar.
The mission of this wonderful project is to offer a fresh start to these elegant dogs, providing them with the care and attention they need to heal and thrive.
From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria
Even though hunting with hounds in Spain ended at the end of January, the shelters are still overwhelmed with dogs abandoned and dumped in perreras.
No sooner has space been made in shelters because galgos have left for their forever homes but the space is soon filled by more innocent souls dumped by the galgueros. The pressure never stops.
WE NEED HELP. NOW MORE THAN EVER. There are times when a protector doesn’t need applause. Today we have over 400 animals in our care. Over 400 lives that depend entirely on us to eat, receive veterinary care and have a chance at a future. Among them are more than 40 animals with complex and serious veterinary treatments. Injured, sick dogs, recovering from surgeries, animals needing daily medication, tests, income and constant care. They are added to our cats and many other cases that require continuous attention.
The reality is we don’t have public aid. We don’t receive grants to cover this work. Everything we do, every rescue, every operation, every thoughtbag, every medicine, every life saved, exists because of the people who decide to help us. Thanks to you guys. (more…)
A must have definitive guide to the plight of the Spanish galgo book for everyone concerned for them. Foreword by the late Ann Finch founder of Greyhounds In Need. All sale proceeds donated to appeals for help from rescue associations.
Hunting with dogs in Spain finished 4 months ago and still the unwanted and abandoned galgos arrive at the shelters. Here are 7 more arriving at Galgos Rescue Almeria.
And another galgo puppy handed in to join his mother and brothers.
