Galgos & greys as therapy dogs
Back in 1994 when my first greyhound turned up at our home, as a stray, and no one was adopting greyhounds in those days…Greyhounds In Need was only just getting off the ground. Molly was such a lovely friendly hound that I proposed her as a Pets as Therapy dog. We used to visit a retirement home where she loved meeting the residents, telling their stories of dogs they had owned, and sharing the cake when they had a birthday!Yo Galgo has made a film about them galgos as therapy dogs.

Protectora Scooby – please donate for flea & tick treatment
Protectora Scooby have hundreds of rescued dogs and cats in their shelters and desperately need to give them treatment. Here’s what they say.‘Raising money for Protective and Sanctuary Scooby and your contribution will make a difference regardless of the amount. Any help counts. Thank you for your support. We need to deworm our dogs and cats, both those who are already in the shelter and those who are arriving and as they have to do both external and internally, and it is not the same to do so with 50 animals as with 200. We have sought an effective and very comfortable product for dogs (CREDELIO PLUS) as with a single pill, furry ones are protected for a month from ticks, fleas and gut worms.
When placing the order directly from the supplier, the product comes out more economical but we have a large number of animals and need to raise €2500,00. Can you give us a donation please, no matter how small.
How to donate, including paypal.

Aggression in dogs – what are the causes?
Our galgo Bracken has been with us for 11 years; he has always been a sensitive dog, happy in the pack of hounds and walking the meadows every day…on leash, as he has a hunter’s nose! However, since we sold the farm in January 2021 and downsized back to the UK, he has caused us concern by showing aggression to other dogs.This link takes you to an extensive article on the causes of aggression in dogs.
