  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – Galga Eden makes progress

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    Video

    Eden has now come home. The blood transfusion did its job and she was strong enough to leave the clinic.

    She’s installed in her own private kennel, a fresh shower that she clearly enjoyed, a soft bed, plenty of food and fresh water and we’re already seeing a totally different Eden from the living dead one we picked up on last week. She still has a long way to go, but things can only get better from now on. The only way is UP.

    Please help with vet fees.

  • Spanish shelters – Zero killing

    Zero sacrifice 450 8 2022
    Great news. But that means even more dogs in shelters! Now Spain needs a law for compulsory neutering of dogs and cats and handcuffing the hunters for overbreeding.

  • Jerez perrera – terrified galgo needs rescue

    Samuel Jerez perrera 400 30 7 2022
    Heartbreaking – whatever can have been done to this poor galgo that he is so terrified of life. Hope there is someone who can help him.

    From Silvia Mensegar

    Samuel is still in the kennel Urgently take him out, he is very afraid, he has lived a hell and does not trust humans, we are looking for some particular or association with experience in dogs with fear to help us help him.

  • Who will mourn me

    Who will mourn me 400 7 2021
    This was written for the thousands English and Irish greyhounds but it is just as appropriate for the hundreds of thousands of galgos who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of the bastard galgueros.

    IN MEMORY
    This weekend marks the anniversary when British commercial greyhound began in 1926. For 95 years greyhounds have been overbred and culled – cruelly abused and destroyed for the sake of a bet. Over one million greyhounds bred for British racing will have died at the hands of the murderous gambling industry. Please hold in your thoughts those innocent souls – many of whose fates were sealed once they were born a racing greyhound…..may they all rest gently in peace

  • How long to crate a dog?

    https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/crating-dogs/

    Article in The Guardian.

    One woman, Nina Torres, reckons it’s fine for most adult dogs to be in a crate “nine hours maximum” during the day (with a walk in the middle), and then eight hours at night.

    I cannot believe anyone would condone incarcerating a dog for most of the 24 hours of its life!! I’m with PETA!

  • Abandoned in Toledo – need a safe place for her

    For those of us who don’t live in Spain and experience the terrible problem of abandoned dogs, it’s hard to understand someone being so close to this beautiful galga and ignoring her – not taking her in to a place of safety!

    From Irina.

    SOS GALGUITA ABANDONED IN A TOWN OF TOLEDO.

    People are giving her food because she seems to be always in the same spot, but as usual, she needs a foster to be able to rescue her.

    I will write to ERA to see if they can put a trap cage but of course without a place for her to go it is impossible to rescue her.

    Please, could any association help her? With the current heat she is in great danger of suffering a heat stroke or being hit by a car or even getting pregnant.

    If anyone could foster her, write me an email and we’ll organize the rescue. They think it’s a female.

    Thank you. irina.animalessinhogar@gmail.com

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – left for dead, saved by FBM

    And another story of the amazing work done by the Spanish volunteers to rescue and rehabilitate a poor galga left for dead.

    A NEW MIRACLE CALLED RENEE. She was found half buried. As a consequence, her hind legs did not respond.

    X-rays and other tests showed no injury to either her spine or her legs. But Renee couldn’t walk … Still we never gave up, and we set out to rehabilitate her paws and make her walk.

    A miracle, an achievement of the entire team, and her enormous spirit of self-improvement have made Renee eventually walk. We can call it a miracle, because it certainly is. But it has also been the result of intense and hard work by her veterinarian Mariana and her physiotherapist Elena, who never threw in the towel, and by all of us who have always encouraged and helped her achieve it.

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    Thank you very much!’
