Sighthounds for Life Auction for 112carlotagalgos – ends 10 November
Here’s the latest Sighthounds for Life auction. There are dozens of fabulous items, please have a look and get bidding. All proceeds to 112carlotagalgos.
In the last couple of months galgos have arrived at the finca desperately needing expensive operations and medical treatment. First there was Dante needing a leg operation; then Happy with no fur and swollen legs – a serious case of mange; then Kenya arrived with a deformed foreleg which previous operations had not repaired. Vet bills for these hounds alone run into four figures.
Add to that feeding all the dogs, microchip and vaccinations to prepare the dogs for adoption…money goes out faster than it comes in.

Perrera to forever home – it’s a long and expensive journey for every dog
The situation in Spain for the galgos and podencos remains desperate. Every day I receive appeals for help to get dogs out of perreras or abandoned and living on the streets. It seems to me that the galgueros are hanging fewer dogs and simply dumping them and expecting the refuges and rescue associations to take them in. They continue to dump their dogs at the gates of refuges too – tied up overnight for the volunteers to find the following day.
