  • SOS Galgos Barcelona – another abandoned and injured galga saved

    SOS Galgos, Anna Clements and her vet Husband, is one of the older galgo rescue associations which I had the privilege of visiting many years ago. Here’s the story of a recent rescue.

    ‘Zafra just arrived at SOS GALGOS.

    A month ago we asked you for help for a run over galago that couldn’t move, they had abandoned it, invisible, despite its suffering. Another extreme case that we undoubtedly took care of. Zafra needed an emergency surgery or she would become paralysed and the response was INCREDIBLE.

    Now after the surgery and more than a month of extreme care to keep her prosthetic from moving we want you to see how our puppy is doing. Now zafra can find a family and forget the hell she lived through.

    THANK YOU for the donations, for all you do Teamers and partners to continue to help.

  • Galgo Lord with Scooby Residencia Valladolid – hoping for a forever home

    From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid

    ‘This stunning boy is Lord and a while ago he stood at the door from the Scooby residencia with a broken front leg. Obviously abandoned like that and asking if we could help him. Of course we did so he was operated in Madrid and now he is completely recuperated, he does not even limp. He is still very young, super sweet, sympathetic, loves to play with the other dogs and not scared at all.

    He’s obviously had a hard life from all the scars on his poor body. All he needs now is a loving forever family. Chip: 98111.

  • When will they punish the right end of the lead?

    Although this poem is about a ‘dangerous’ breed, it could just as easily apply to any galgo in a perrera which has a kill policy, where the galgos are dumped by the hunters!

    ‘Last week we started the first talks about animal welfare, responsible coexistence and bite prevention at the CRA La Esgueva, within the educational project, “A Muzzle in Your Life.” The students have participated a lot, asking lots of questions and telling anecdotes about the animals they have at home.

    We thank the principal and the teaching team for the great welcome and their great interest in these topics. Now they know how to take better care of pets and have learned to understand how dogs talk to us.’

  • Galga Orla with Galgos en Familia – hoping for a forever home

    From Galgos en Familia

    ‘Today we are going to talk to you about Orla.

    Orla is a 7-year-old Galgo female, she was rescued by our colleagues from Siempre Contigo en Rota, there the owner took them, with a clear message: “o las cogéis or las quito de enmedio”, yes, of course. (You take her or I’ll get rid of her’).

    Orla’s life hasn’t been easy, her scars and the state of her body, tell us that she knows pain well and what it’s like to give birth in every heat.

    Luckily all that is now behind and Orla has started a new life, a life in which there is affection, care and respect. Orla is a very grateful girl, close, caring and quiet, she still must adapt to city life, traffic, noise, etc…but we know little by little she will get it.
