  • Rey, King of the Galgos – needs your help

    Rey Charl 250 3 2012112carlotagalgos is a very small family association which concentrates on rescuing and rehabilitating traumatised, sick and injured galgos and podencos. Some months ago we told the story of Rey, abandoned, surviving on virtually nothing, he’d finally collapsed and almost given up the struggle. Some months on, he is doing ok, but a new problem has arisen. Rey needs help! He needs you, we need you! Here’s his story…

    Rey came to 112 Carlota Galgos several months ago, found giving up, life had let him down. He lay in the dust with life draining from him,.. down and out. He was seen and rescued. He stayed with his rescuer in Sevilla for a month and along with Polyana joined us at 112 carlota galgos for us to recouperate them and socialise them into family life.

    Rey .. seems he has everything against him, he is a black galgo in Spain, he is older and he is a natural hunter. He cannot be scolded for something which has been bred into him, he lived and kept himself alive by hunting. He is a hunter, he will hunt, and yet he will walk by your side like the gentlest galgo you know.

    Saturday, May 19, 2012. Today was a very sad day. I went to the settlement to take pictures since before I left and I took them and spread when they were in residence, now a thing impossible to do, since I have no means. What I ask is help for them: benefit for partnerships that take them and seek their family, adoption, sponsors to get them out and bring to a kennels, distribution to refuges, etc…

    Urgent appeal to save the lives of 100 dogs. Oscar writes from Cuenca;

    ‘Milagros from the Cuenca Dog Pound just informed me that the Inspection has been at the pound and that they “counted” 100 dogs too many. Therefore it is extremely urgent to get 100 (ONE HUNDRED) dogs out of there. Please could you notify ANY dog shelters, fosterplaces, whomever. The dogs are chipped, vacunated against rabies and are FREE OF CHARGE, they do not cost anything = 0.00 € !!
    The only thing to pay for is the transport wherever. Please help me to spread this awful news around. THANKS
