Spanish holidays – help out at a dog shelter
Now the freezing snow and icy weather is behind us (hopefully) we can look forward to Spring and think about holidays. Many people like to do more than just sit on a beach, and Vivienne Wharton has some suggestions. She lives in the Ricote area of Murcia in eastern Spain and has become very involved in the plight of abandoned dogs. She has linked together many rescue associations and volunteers and even got involved in protesting at a bull fight last month!
Many shelters and refuges offer accommodation to people willing to help with caring for their animals and Vivienne is co-ordinating help in her area. You can read about the holidays here.

Gesser Galgos – Pro-Galgo & Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert to the rescue
I’m pleased to be able to tell you all that Pro-Galgo and Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert have taken the latest batch of galgos at Gesser killing station, Jerez. You can see the photos of some of them here, by the fireside at Pro-Galgo. Sadly, as President of Pro-Galgo Mo Swatek says, their places will soon be taken up by dozens more.
‘We have taken 14 of the Gesser galgos and 20 went to Fundacion Benjamin
Mehnert near Seville. With other associations, a total of 48 galgos have been saved recently from Gesser.’Remember, they will all need forever homes. Please contact the associations direct on the links above, if you can help in any way, including donations for vet fees.
On the link above, you can also read the story of Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert rescuing dogs from a village of drug addicts.

Update on Toledo galga – Galgo Leku or Galgos 112?
Below is an update on the Toledo galga with the eye problem, which was posted on my Save the Galgo page on Facebook. I am uncertain from the translation whether Galgos 112 or Galgo Leku have taken the galga (I think Galgos 112 but there is no news of her on their website) but, either way, she is with an organisation which will ensure she has veterinary treatment.
Many of you ask for updates on what happens to the appeals I post on Galgo News and this is an illustration of how difficult it is for me, if the associations who take the dogs do not themselves send me news.

‘This morning when I was coming from the Talavera hospital, this galguita was in a service area. I have seen she is very, very weak and something happens to her in her eyes that they close and they weep a lot.

Toledo – dying on the street – Baas Galgo to the rescue
If you look carefully, you can see a galgo curled up under this tree. Sandra Baas tells the story. ‘They thought he was dead, but when they came closer, they found out this poor boy was still alive. His story in short:
They named him Caramelo (Caramel). He is skin over bones, and has been shot several times. There are leads everywhere on one side of his body but mainly in his front and back legs. There are also leads that got into his body and those are dangerous. This gorgeous boy has a long way to go before he is healthy again.
