  • Chained galga starving to death – now fighting to live

    Charl Adina carrying 250 12 2013This is galga Adina – chained up, no food, no water, left to starve to death. Rescued and taken immediately to the vet and kept in the clinic for a few days to monitor. Now she is safe with 112carlotagalgos. Charl tells the story – briefly

    ‘I now introduce you to Princess Adina!

    Survival is her wish. Her longing to live through the darker days held her… brought her to this.. home.

    At the moment we’re not testing her .. everything seems to be working ok for the moment. Bowels and urine. But she will be watched. Tests of the usual would only be false at this time. So recuperation is what she needs. Rest. Food. Rest. Food.

    She longed to live.. here she is. Welcome to finca 112 Carlotagalgos special girl.

    Embraced by chains.. you have been released. We have prayed for you. For strength to see a new day.. It’s yours to take now.. day by day. Little by little.. you will see your forever.’

    Vet fees are already mounting, plus special food costs – please donate by paypal to comdelrio@hotmail.com.

  • Updates – Gala, Tico, Foguete

    Scooby Gala saviour 250 12 2013GALA: (from Cobie at Scooby) She gave milk so the vet made an echography and from the form of the uterus he could see that she had given birth very recently. A galguero would never murder a litter of real galgos so probably it wase mixes. He stole them from her, probably mad because of the mixes, murdered them and hung her in a tree to die.

    Better nobody tells us who the bastard is who did this to her, because really, I swear…! She is not just sweet but super, super, super sweet and bravely trying to forget the horror which came over her the last few days!! Galgos…they are just amazing…! The first picture is Gala with her saviour, a few moments after he cut her loose from the tree, milles gracias de corazon!!!!! The other picture shows Gala enjoying the sun and the other dogs´company.

  • Portugal Dog Rescue – latest news on kennels and rehoming

    PDR Teresa update 250 7 12 2013A message from Ines at Portugal Dog Rescue

    Dear all,

    Just an update on everything that is going on: as you know, there was denouncing regarding the building work at the kennels as it needed a construction permit to be built. The mayor has meanwhile come for a visit and told Teresa not to worry as he was giving her his blessing to carry on, so it wouldn’t be a problem.

    However, Teresa lives in a rented property that has always been for sale, with the agreement that if a buyer came along, Teresa would voluntarily leave. Well, that buyer has turned up and Teresa’s landlord has given her until the 31st of December to leave her current house.
