Galgo Ky – AWSM need a sponsor for him, and a forever home
Animal Welfare Support Murcia does a wonderful job in helping all types of dogs, puppies, pedigrees, puppies, xbreeds…they don’t discriminate. This is Ky, a galgo they have in their care who needs sponsoring. If you would like to sponsor this stunning galgo – or even ask to adopt him – details here. At the same time, they are working hard to save some dogs in a hellish situation and desperately need somewhere for the dogs to go, so that they can denounce the owner for cruelty, neglect and anything else they can throw at him. I know these dogs aren’t galgos, but I ask and ask for people to make a denuncia in cruelty cases. So please, share this appeal and contact any friends you have who could foster any of these dogs, or donate to them going into kennels.

Can You Help Care for Galga Sienna’s Pups at Pepis Dog Refuge?
I posted a few days ago about Pepis Dog Refuge, Seville. Latest news from Susan Dawson, who is working to raise funds to help them. For those of you who so kindly wanted to donate to help, you can do so via this link as well as via Paypal.
Galga Sienna gave birth to 9 pups this week. Sienna was recently found tied up cruelly with twine outside Pepis with another white galgo Lasso. It was evident that she was expecting pups, the vet advised it was too late to abort the litter as she was so close to giving birth.

Galga mama and babies in Hellin perrera, Albacete – anyone room?
Many times my heart breaks with the appeals and stories I receive each day…this is another of those times. With tears in my eyes for what this poor galga has suffered in the condition she was in.
A galga in Hellin killing station, Albacete, with 4 new born puppies. They were in the hands of some gitanos (Spanish gypsies) who threw stones at her. If they don’t get out of the perrera before they are killed, they will die in there from cold or disease. Please someone help Ari and her babies.

Scooby Medina – a video
When viewing this film, please remember that all these animals have been rescued, all these dogs need forever homes. Please consider taking your holiday as a working holiday at Scooby Medina and helping with the animals. And it costs a lot of money to feed and care for these animals and restore them to good health.

Galgo pup Eros – saved from hanging!
This pretty little pup is Eros, in the care of Levriers du Sud. Only 5 months old, he was found by a volunteer who was walking her dogs. She saw this little galgo on a tree branch. She went over and realized that he had been hung to the tree but was able to climb on a branch saving his own life! Resourceful little guy!
It’s hard to believe that anyone would hang a young puppy… They can’t tell me that it’s because he was no good for hunting… he’s so young, he’s probably never hunted. It’s insane!
