Miracles are ALWAYS FRUIT OF LOVE – Sanvi: When everything seemed lost…
When Sanvi came to us, her little body barely responded. Didn’t reflect, didn’t react… and for a few moments, we thought we were too late. But then something incredible happened: love, surrender, and hope began to take effect.
Thanks to the tireless care of our vets, the daily affection of caregivers, and above all the work of volunteers from all over the world, Sanvi began, very little by little, to wake up.

ADOPTIONS FALL IN WORRIING WAY
Dog adoptions are alarmingly falling despite the tireless work done by shelters and volunteer associations.
There are more and more animals waiting patiently to find a forever home. Many of them have not had it easy and even suffered mistreatment.
Introducing Aston, a young galgo who was abandoned and who, after spending several days on the street, was rescued. Now, he’s looking for a family that will love him and give him a new chance.
If you want to adopt Aston contact Rescatando Peludos (Spain 0034) 649 01 64 07

There are some especially bloody cases, and it’s not just when they arrive injured or broken, but also for other reasons.
For example we have Celina, who has just joined the family of Galgos 112.
At 11 years old Celina has been abandoned and has arrived to us with several injuries such as being bitten by another dog. They don’t have much importance and they are almost healed, but Celina is very sad, she doesn’t understand where she is or what happened to her. Being in a residence surrounded by unknown dogs doesn’t help either…
From Galgos 112.
Holy Week, time of Christs, Painful, candles and processions. Saetas and feeling. Some are enjoying the processions, others take advantage of it to go on vacation. We, the volunteers of Galgos 112, keep picking up dogs full of misery, they look like other Christs.
So we found this poor guy whom we named Roque. With years of misery on him, he has appeared full of wounds, perhaps from fighting with some other dog for something to eat, or perhaps for another reason, we don’t know…
If just a little bit of that passion and feeling that floods the streets of our cities these days, translated into helping those in need, people and animals, we would all be better.
This petition is demanding the setting up of an independent regulatory authority to curb the diabolical vet fees in the UK. You need a UK postcode to sign and share.
Last year the Competition and Markets Authority undertook a look at vet clinics not being upfront about charges etc. This weblink give extensive details of their report, last March. Not that it will do anything to stop vets selling out to speculative companies which demand their share of vet charges.

Quite a few are traumatised after a hellish life at the hands of the galgueros, so they need special quiet homes preferably with another dog, so they can gain confidence and become ‘normal’ dogs. Sometimes this can take a couple of years. But they are so forgiving and it is very rewarding to know you have helped them gain trust in humans. Here are a couple of videos of some of these hounds, hopefully you can view them.

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.

‘This is how the protector @adoptaysefeliztorrijos delivered to this galga for adoption on February 14th….. in these conditions Irene del Rio Garcia veterinarian colegiada no. 4501544 sterilizes a few days before the animal…. sign a passport with false data and false test result…. that’s right, charging 300 € and delivering the animal without any kind of contract

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.
Vera Thorenaar Redering has been rescuing and rehoming galgos for many years. Last year the shelter was flooded, it has been flooded again and the team are desperately asking for help especially a shelter/kennels in a different area as they can’t risk the lives of volunteers and dogs if they are flooded yet again. Here’s the story/
