This is a story about a rescued galga who is in the care of Charl and Dioni in Malaga. She was rescued in Alicante and is now in Malage for rehabilitation. Greta’s story in Charl’s words.
‘Introducing Greta!
It’s taken me time to write about Greta, its common when we receieve a galgo to write about them, but Greta .. Greta while all galgos have a story Greta drew me in and needed to be understood before I could write anything about her.
This is an appeal from Gran Familia in Seville.
‘We have come to the limits of our physical capabilities for the summer. We know that
currently there are many urgent cases that we that we are unable to help because we have a multitude of expensse built up – vet fees, treatments, and we have to pay for kennels for the dogs as we have no shelter.
We have four residence with dogs in kennels which cost us 720 euros per month. Below are the dogs in them. This is a cry for help for them and for us, we need to feed the and treat them on a daily basis and of course people want to charge – both the kennels and the vet – and the debt gets larger.
As I am due to go into hospital next week for a shoulder operation and will be unable to drive etc for at least 6 weeks, Kim Webster has kindly offered to organise a stand for me at No Voice No Choice, a huge animal event being held at Chertsey, Surrey, on 6th August.
We want to give as much publicity as possible about the plight of the beautiful galgos and podencos who suffer so much at the hands of the Spanish hunters, whether on mainland Spain or the Spanish Islands.
Here is the latest video of Esperanza, the galga brutally beaten and left for dead in a rubbish container. She Walks! Incredible commitment from all her caring team, and what a fighter is this amazing lady – given a second chance at life.
Here’s what Nuria, of El Albergue, writes about this amazing galga.
Here are the photos of the Toledo galga who had chewed through her foot to escape a wire snare. The flesh was being attacked by maggots. Some of the photos are not very pleasant, but rest assured that she had the best of veterinary treatment and is now in foster care.

This galga was hung last week. Luckily she was rescued before she died, and is now in the care of L’Europe des Levriers.
Her trachea was severed by the thin rope around her neck and her lungs were very infected. Her neck had two holes from the trachea and worms and lots of shit were inside. The most complicated was that there were also very thin bots in the wound.
The galga was also suffering from a undernourishment and her liver and her kidneys had infection.
This little chap has been named Rufo. He was found abandoned, suffering from a serious eye infection which rendered him blind. He was rescued and taken into the caring hands of Silvia of Galgo Connection Spain. His eye infection has been treated, his eyes are much improved – as you can see from these photos – although he is still receiving medication to clear the infection completely. Now he needs his forever home.
