  • Urgent – Save the galgos of Baeza refuge, Jaen, from the galgo thieves!

    Baeza Beethoven 250 7 2012We’re into July, still galgos arriving on in the perreras, but the danger is also in the refuges, many unmanned at night, when the Spanish gypsies and hunters look around to see what galgos are in there which they could steal for the next hunting season. They have no scruples – these dogs are just a tool.

    Baeza refuge in Jaen is under pressure, there are a few of their galgos which are vulnerable to be stolen. They urgently need associations to take these galgos to safety, one a puppy of 5 months, rescued from the local dog pound where they kill the dogs. If they can move these hounds to safety, they can take some more from the Resur dog pound. Here are their details, all very young dogs..

  • Resur Dog Pound, Baeza, Spain – more galgos on death row – urgent help needed

    July and still galgos are arriving in the dog pounds to be killed! Here’s the latest plea from Baeza,

    In the Resur dog pound (Baeza) there are several galgos due to be
    killed. Maria Teresa who runs the dog shelter in Baeza can not take out
    more of them as her little shelter is already full and there are no
    foster homes available.

    She is desperately searching for foster homes or anyone who can help her.

  • Galgo in France urgently needs a true forever home

    I get very cross when people adopt a galgo or podenco, and then the dog turns up in an SPA refuge – as is the case at the moment with a podenca, and also now this black galgo which is on Le Boin Coin. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a website where you can sell virtually anything in France!

    Here’s the link, if anyone can save him, please, please…..saved out of Spain, now under threat in France! Here are the details in English.

  • URGENT – special adoption home needed for Jaen galgo Voyka with Wobbler Syndrome

    You may remember earlier in the year I posted the story of Voyka a young galgo found abandoned, who had co-ordination problems with walking, possibly as a result of a blow to the head. This is an urgent appeal for an adoption for him, to save him going back to the kennels. There was an adoption application but, after extensive research, it was not deemed the right home for him. Because of his physical problems, he needs a really special home, with another dog, where his disability will not cause a problem. This is the report from Lourdes, who has him in her care.

  • Don’t forget the Podencos – have you room for one?

    If your home isn’t suitable for a galgo, why not consider a podenco, there are several different types from small ones to big ones. And at the moment there are dozens waiting in the hope that someone will take them into their heart and home. Look on Podenco Post and read about them.

  • Seville galgo in a terrible condition in the gypsy camp

    Macu Seville gypsy galgo 1 250 5 2012This news came in in Spanish on Friday, but I’ve had to ask my friend Marisa Perez for translating, thank you Marisa..

    From Macu in Seville –

    Hi, I write you from my desperation. I want to kill someone!!!

    I went to the settlement to take some pictures and I saw this galgo. Alone like excrement. Everybody wanted to keep him far away, but he wanted to come near us. When I saw him, I felt my soul to break.

    I say to him, ‘nobody has tried to treat your skin, you only wanted some food and water and only found kicks and laughs about your aspect. All those stupid men called me fool for taking you and put you in my car, to hug you and tell you that now you are not alone.’
