Jerez perrera – Galgo Connection Spain, Valencia, to the rescue
This is Cascabel, one of the Jerez galgos, after 12 days of veterinary care with Silvia of GalgoConnectionSpain in Valencial Here’s what Silvia says. ‘This dog came twelve days ago, the ulcers infected, dehydrated, malnourished, we thought he was going to die but, after some days of feeding him intravenously, he started to eat one his own. He’s gained three kilos.’ Silvia says there are problems with all of the Jerez galgos. Many of the perreras don’t feed the dogs much,’why feed a dog you’re going to kill’! Here’s a link to see some more stories.

Malaga – walking the streets in Protest
Traffic in Malaga was today brought to a standstill when animal lovers in Andalucia took to the streets to protest about animal cruelty in Spain and in particular the plight of the galgos at the hands of the hunters. It’s at this time of year that the galgueros get rid of their dogs – upwards of 50,000 every year. The protestors wore black, many of the dogs wore black collars and scarves. Well done, everyone.

Injured Galgo in Cadiz, can an association take him and heal him?
This poor soul is in Barbate, Cadiz. He is very thin and, as you can see, has an eye out. Surprisingly he is willing to get n a car, he is not too afraid, wags his tail a bit. The problem is that the volunteer has not the funds to pay for the operation needed on the eye. She desperately needs a foster home for him, and an association to take care of the eye operation with their vet. Please, is there an association anywhere who will take this poor boy in and save what is left of his eye. Goodness knows what caused this damage.
If you can take him, please contact Helena 657133551 helenamalia89@gmail.com
