  • Galga Gina – back with Galgos Rescue Almeria after her operation

    GRA Gina 400 1 5 2021
    From Sandy Galgoslover – please donate to the vet fees as Galgos Rescue Almeria is a small shelter with several dogs on medication for leishmania, and Sandy and John always put the dogs’ medical care first.

    ‘Our old lady is back home. We picked up Gina from the traumatologist. The surgery went well, now she has to recover and rest a lot.

    Next week a check up to see how the wound has healed and within 6 weeks new X-rays will be made to see if the fracture has sutured correctly.

    You still can support Gina by donating through the fundraising below or PayPal : Galgosrescuealmeria@gmail.com https://gofund.me/6663ca5e

  • Protectora Scooby – 2 gorgeous rough-haired galgas hoping for forever homes

    Scooby 2 galgas 400 1 5 202
    From Scooby. Look at these beauties, rough haired galgas, not so common.

    These two little girls have been left by their owner in the shelter. For serious health reasons, he could no longer take care of them.

    Of course they are still a little scared, but they are both very good, sociable and loving ☺️.

    Does anyone want to give them a home?

    To adopt or request more info, please send an email to internationaladoptions@scoobymedina.org

  • Galga Dora in adoption with Black Galgo – give an oldie a chance

    Black Galgo Dora 400 5 2021
    This sweet galga deserves to spend the rest of her life knowing a comfy bed, loving caresses and good food every day.

    DORA IN ADOPTION

    Over 10 years Dora had to wait to regain her freedom, life and know love. 10 years with a story of brutality, like so many other grandmothers forced to breed year after year…

    Dora is sweet, serene, elegant, will live happily with other dogs, walks perfectly and is healthy…Her only flaw? having arrived late in the world of the living… she has come to us at almost 10 years old.

    We are all a little selfish in love, who would surrender their heart to someone who by law of life will not accompany you many years? We’re looking for that person who wants to fall in love with Dora, the years she has left without thinking about how many but how happy they will be.

  • SOS Rescue – an horrendous case of ticks

    SOS galgos ticks 1 400 11 5 2021
    I’ve seen some nasty photos of ticks on galgos and podencos over the years of writing my blogs, but this must be the worst. Luckily the galgo is with SOS Rescue, I’ve asked what they use to remove so many bloodsuckers and if the dod is anaemic.

    SOS Rescue says ‘Another urgent rescue. This is unacceptable and this is the state of greyhounds in Spain. Eaten by ticks. We need your help. Going straight to the vet and residence.

    HELP US AND JOIN TO HELP FOR 1 EURO PER MONTH!!! www.teaming.net/sosrescue-vicentecerverolopez Please help, the Rescue due a marvellous job.

  • GalgoPod Andco – Galga Ladybug waiting for a forever home

    Galgopod andco Mariquina 400 4 2021
    When I joined dozens of other galgo and podencos rescue associations and adoptants themselves back in 2021 when we all marched from the European Union office in Strasbourg round the city publicising the plight of the dogs, I met up with some of the people of GalgoPod Andco. Here is a lovely galga with them looking for a forever home. Just look at those ears!!

    ‘Ladybug is looking for a forever home. 6 years old. She arrived at the Vila Real kennel in Portugal in November 2020 with her sister Leonor, already adopted. They lived in an old car in a field and in very bad condition. She’s now at my foster home in Spain until I find a family.

    Ladybug is skittish at first but gains confidence at home in a couple of days, not a dog especially scared, somewhat insecure at times outside. At home she is very affectionate, confident and lives very well with other dogs. With kids can go very playful too.
    On the street she walks very well and very calm, but always on a leash. Mariquiña is a dog love and finally deserves a home. She’s ready to travel now.

  • Association Galgos New Life – saving Chantal

    Chantal is a very fearful galga, has been safe with the Association Galgos New Life for a year but the volunteers are still working hard to gain her trust. Her fear of human beings has begun to subside but she will need a very special experienced home for adoption.

    Why do galgueros have to inflict such fear in their dogs, what does it gain them?
