  • Galgo Morgan with Galgos 112 – hoping for his forever home

    112Morgan 2 350
    Introducing Morgan with Galgos 112. Morgan is a young galguit, not even two years old, who was abandoned by some soulless in a village. The kennel was warned but he got lucky and finished us. Since then he is in residence and he is spending it there regularly, he is a very sensitive greyhound and he is not used to both dogs and barking.

    Already been to the vet and his blood tests are good, dewormed and vaccinated.

    He’s pretty calm in nature. A little unconfident with strangers but loving with the people they meet.

    We are looking for Morgan a quiet family that lives in an area without a lot of noise of people and cars. No need for them to have another dog, we think Morgan, although she gets along smoothly with other dogs, can get used to being the only dog in her family.
    He can also live with cats.

    If you would like to foster or adopt Morgan write to info@galgos112.com and tell us your town and a contact phone number.

    20 March 2025

    BAD NEWS

    Today we have to give you a very painful and heartbreaking news. Our shelter is closing its doors forever in this place. After seeing its condition and assessing the damage, another reconstruction is impossible, we can’t cope.

    Besides the risk of losing one of our dogs has been too close this time, 2 dogs from the outside area escaped death by minutes and if the person who received the warning call, had the phone on silent or a deeper sleep, today we would be crying the death of all our dogs and we can’t cope with that.

    Our shelter has always been our greatest pride, our safe place and who knows us knows how much we have fought for it, years of effort and dedication.

  • Electric shock collars to be banned in England February 2026 – too late, why not now?!

    E collars and podencos 350
    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    The Use of E-Collars on Podencos: what are your thoughts about using them ?

    On the attached photo a question was put to a advocate of e-collars .. Why would you use E.Collar on a podenco that has been abused ? The answer was disturbing please read the reply on the photo.

    E-Collars and Podencos: Why We Must Push for the UK Ban

    The Reality of Rescue: Healing the Broken

    Every Podenco that enters rescue has a story—often one of neglect, fear, and survival. We spend months rehabilitating them, earning their trust, and helping them recover both physically and emotionally. These dogs, already so fragile, should never be subjected to training methods that rely on pain and fear.

  • PACMA – protestng about the Royal Decree 666/2023

    PACMA logo 400
    PACMA – we want to tell you that on 5th March 2025 we have presented a proposal for an urgent modification of the terrible Royal Decree 666/2023 of the Government, which has generated enormous discomfort among veterinarians and animal guardians. There are many inconsistencies to correct.

    Why is this decree a problem?

    It requires notification of each veterinary prescription through the PRESVET system, including animals considered companion animals, when the European Regulation excludes them.

    It requires pathogen identification tests for certain antibiotics, which delays treatments and is costing animal lives.

    It imposes mandatory identification of animals for the administration of medications, making it difficult to treat community cats and abandoned animals. Such as where cats in a feral community are caught, neutered and returned to their community.

  • Stunning Hairy Galgo with Galgos 112 – hoping for a forever home

    Galgo 112 hairy 2 350
    From Galgos 112

    Hey there!! I introduce myself!! My name is NICO and I’m a blonde and white greyhound. I am only 2 years old. By my face and hair some people think I can be a little crazy, but… i promise you i won’t ! I’m pretty good (almost). They say I’m nice and the truth is I love being with you humans who play with me and pet me. I like being with other dogs too we had so much fun running and playing!.

    I lived with my brothers, but one day they separated me from them and took me to a kennel. It was an ugly dark place. All the dogs there were sad and scared, they didn’t want to play, I got that sadness and I also went hungry and scared. But now I’m out!… and I’ve been told that very soon someone will notice me and want to adopt me. I don’t know what “adopt me” means must be a very good thing. I have also been told that I will have a family that will love me very much and will take care of me. I don’t know if it’s true but I prefer to think it is.

  • Galga x Ika – a scared baby seeking an understanding forever home

    Ika 3 3035 350
    Ika is looking for a home where she feels safe and loved!

    Ika is a beautiful galga cross about 1 year old, medium in size and a soul full of cuteness. She was found abandoned in a field, scared and without knowing who to trust. She’s a *very scared* puppy, but with patience and love, she’s taking baby steps. What’s clear is that he loves the company of other animals: she gets along great with dogs and also cats, so it would be ideal for a home with more furry companions.

    We are looking for a peaceful and patient family for her, who respects her rhythm and gives her the security she needs to come out of her shell and show how sweet, good and adorable she really is. Delivered vaccinated, dewormed, chipped, sterilized and blood tested.

    If you think you can give Ika the chance she so deserves, contact us at (Spain 0034) 674 476 810

    Help her find the home where she can be happy!
