  • IN THE EYES OF A GALGO

    Eyes of a galgo Pet Levrieri 400
    In the eyes of a galgo you can always see a hint of sadness, left over from something that will never be completely healed, the legacy of a suffering which has no release. Carried with dignity, but deep nevertheless.

    In the eyes of a galgo you can see the request for food, affection, love, for a safe place where he can let himself go, where he can rest without the terror of waking up in hell.

    In the eyes of a galgo you can see absolute devotion which never becomes servile, a proud gaze that scans the horizon, a hymn to freedom.

    In the eyes of a galgo you can see the crafty and slightly cunning air of someone who has learned that man will beat you down if you seem too cocky.

    When your gaze meets the eyes of a galgo and you open your heart, your way of seeing dogs changes forever. Thank you, Cabi, for all this.

  • Baby rescued from a Seville slum

    Black galgo Chusa 400 30 1 2018
    From the Black Galgo association.

    ‘A few hours ago, we talked about how the puppies act when we rescue them, they tend to be gentle and they trust themselves… but it’s not always like that. Sometimes we see the deepest sorrow in a little face that should only “smile” with a curious look.

    We just found this little disoriented two-and-a-Half-Month-old baby on the streets of a slum. There is no more sadness in such a small body… it is tiny, malnutrition is palpable in every bony of her body.
    We love her with all the love that wakes us up a little girl so tiny and so confused… to try to make her understand that everything happened and that we will give her all the love she deserves and give her a family that will never make her feel lonely and scared as she was so far.

    Chusa, welcome to black greyhound. You don’t know, but we love you madly.
    We take you home, it’s a little cold here.

    Please, if you can welcome chusa in Seville, write to us.

  • 12 years in the rain and cold – Association Baasgalgo to the rescue

    Baas galgo 400 8 1 2018
    So many associations now only use facebook when publicising their work…so I have to trawl their pages to find out what is going on. The founder of Association Baasgalgo, Sandra Baas, moved to the USA a few years ago where she set up a branch but her work in Spain continues with Miguel in charge. Here’s a sad story which occurs all to often…

    ‘When an image is worth more than a thousand words…

    This is all Margarita had to get out of the rain and the cold… 12 years tied to a chain, 12 years of misery…

    Our volunteer Eva was able to get her and she is now in one of our shelters while waiting for that home that she deserves so much in retirement, hopefully for her the best in the world.

    Scooby galgo puppy 400 17 12 2017
    This month there are more galgos arriving at the Scooby shelter, several dogs in very poor condition or with health problems, this 4-month old puppy and another tiny abandoned puppy with rickets in its front legs…needing medicine and special food.

    Here’s one of the galgos, malnourished and full of wounds. How can anyone let a dog get in this state?! And galgueros claim to love their dogs!!

    When he recovers will need a family that will care him as he deserves and give him a lot of love ❤.
    Contact: seguimientos@scoobymedina.org

  • Galgo Suri for adoption

    Marcella Suri 23 May 2017 400Introducing SURI, a 9 months old Male Galgo

    Little Suri was picked up by Almohadillas Felices in May 2017 together with Oso a GSD mastin also only 3 months old. At the age of 3 months Suri was living in a horse stable tied down at his front leg and fought to get loose, that is why he had injured himself. He had an operation immediately and his damaged leg and ligaments have fully recovered.

    He is in the care of Marcella, who says, ‘Now look at him! He only get more gorgeous and magnificent by the day. This boy is absolutely stunning in every way. Happy, super affectionate with all creatures. Suri is such a funny boy too, our dream is that we find him a loving wonderful home. Please help us by sharing to groups, to friends and to family so that that special family will see him and fall in love.
