This is Bandolera de Badajoz, the galga from the video who was left with a broken leg in the Badajoz perrera by her boss. She was operated today and is doing fine, she needs a fosterhouse in Badajoz for some weeks because she needs complete rest. Contact SOS Badajoz perrera. sosperrerabadajoz@gmail.com
One of the things which really angers me – and I know it angers the Spanish volunteers – is that the municipal councils really don’t care about the stray dog problem. They provide council killing stations, as well as the privately run ones like Olivenza in Badajoz. I’ve received a letter from a Dutch supporter, Anita, who recently spent a couple of weeks volunteering at the privately run shelter in Cuenca,in the middle of an area full of hunters, between Madrid and Valencia. Here’s what she wrote.
‘I volunteered in the Cuenca refuge for about 16 days and was really in shock the first days. There are so many dogs and they never come out of their kennels. Among the dogs are many many galgos, some of them are afraid but they are never aggressive.
More horror for the Spanish volunteers – more galgos needing help. Carmen tells the story.
‘On 24th August, Salamera and his son Timon were rescued, sadly we haven’t found the other puppy. They were in a very dangerous place and we had to enlist the help of an expert in catching the galgos. We’ve managed to get them to a house, after paying the ransom to take the dogs! They both need attention by the vet.
And whilst we had rescued them, another one on the street desperately needing help, yet more vet fees. (young grey galgo)
This is a strain on our resources, the 3 galgos need vaccines, blood tests and vet treatment.’
Urgently need somewhere for these 3 galgos, all female, to go. They are in Cadiz, seized from poachers. Contact corilayka@gmail.com
And I’ll add a note here that hunting is due to start next month, hunters are advertising puppies for sale at 50 euros on Milanuncios, and yet the perreras still have dozens and dozens of young healthy galgos on death row. At times I simply can’t keep up with posting them all – however do the volunteers cope.
This galguito was saved just in time from the galguera, he hadthe rope around his neck. Reception or adoption is needed for him.
LONDON – 21-8-2012 Male 8 months and 9 days; London is noble, loving and ready. He is always attentive, is very good and quiet, with a very sweet character. Please, help us to find them a home!, thank you! 607 706 438 y 690 333 041 info@rivanimal.org Maria Rodriguez aldakaleundome@yahoo.es
This galgo has been on the streets of Huelva for some months, as it was difficult to catch. As you can see, its rear hind paw is injured and it has many woulds on its body, as well as ticks. A woman has been finally able to gain its trust, take it home and treat the ticks, but she cannot keep it there, as she has no room – she has 6 dogs and her son is against it.
It desperately needs getting off the street and the paw and wounds treating. It lives with a mastiff, is submissive, calm but nervous of people. With the woman it now accepts caresses.
Can anyone take this boy – they’ve named him Triston. Please contact Paloma urgently.
If you are handy with a paintbrush and have a few days holiday to spare, Scooby need help with painting their new kennels. Cobie says, ‘Today we´ve started painting the dog kennels inside. One is finished, another 47 to go…So, if you like to paint, you´re more than welcome to come over here!’ Contact Scooby direct.
These two young galgos were saves from Linares, are now in Resur, but could still be killed if no one takes them. Baeza refuge is full, and the other problem is that if the galgos went there, then it is quite likely they would be stolen – it’s that time of year! Donna is grey and white, Dunne has injuries everywhere which need treating. Please can anyone help us save them. Contact animalesdebaeza@gmail.com
I haven’t been able to download the photo but there is an advert on Milanuncios, where hundreds of galgos are advertised for sale – of 7 tiny galgo puppies living in a small hole, for sale by Maria Torres, in Seville. For those of you on facebook, the details are on my Save the Galgo page. Ref:53265259 OFERTA
