  • Galga Zoe, left for dead – now in her forever home

    Charl Zoe 250Tribute to Zoe – by Charlotte del Rio

    Dear Sr.Galguero

    I was sitting here with my thoughts, looking back over time.
    Just a mere girl I was at your feet, the foot that booted me regularly. I wondered when the day would be, when I’d be free from the shame I felt.

    I wandered by your side Sr.Galguero as a good galga should and on many occasion I know you thought you broke me. You almost did!

    At just a year old I’d been born into hell, I knew nothing more than the life I led. Shamed, doomed, and hollow. Fear striking me at every move. How I lived on my nerves .. Oh how I did.

  • Galga Una – urgent foster home or adoption – please help

    Una 1Apologies for the lack of news recently. It’s not because there isn’t any news – galgos are still being abandoned and dumped in the perreras in their hundreds – Scooby and Baasgalgo have taken dozens and Pepis Refuge have had more dumped at their gates. I’m nearing completion of my next book, and that’s what has taken me away from the updates. Herewith an appeal from Jacky Cotton for help for a beautiful small galga. Jacky tells Una’s story.

    ‘HELP WANTED

    This is Una, a 4-year-old small galgo. Although outside our normal remit – our specialisation is puppies – we could not leave her lying injured and unable to move at the side of the road, having been dragged behind a moving scooter. She was in great pain.

  • Update on Portuguese galgos Foguete and Esperance

    Jane Sibley 8 March 15:39

    Just wanted to let you all know that I was having a little chat with Ines last night and when enquiring about our lovely Forgeuete and Esperanca the word Ines used was ‘thriving’. 😀 They are both putting on more weight and are becoming more relaxed. 😀

    Obviously with everything going on, neither Ines or Teresa have had time to update us all, so I hope you will be happy with my little update. I am very happy with this news
