  • Pro-Galgos appeal – help save 28 galgos in Jerez killing station – URGENT!

    Jerez killing station 06 2010 280 Hello from Spain (from Mo Swatek)

    PRO-GALGO will go for the 28 galgos in Jerez killing station named GESSER but we need the money to pay the trip and the first vet care.

    We have found already 13 foster families or refuges in Spain (as they are not ready to travel yet abroad) to help with the galgos but still 15 need to be taken in until ready for adoption.

    We can go to pick them up in Jerez next week but we need about 800 eur for the transport and another 900 eur for the tests and vaccines (34 eur test per dogs, 8 eur for the 7x vaccines), and of course we need help for the general vet care later on.

  • Urgent Appeal from SOS Galgos, Barcelona – help their galgos

    Anna Clements, Director of SOS Galgos in Barcelona, has sent out this urgent message.

    Dear Friends,

    Have you heard the exciting news? SOS Galgos has been kindly given use of a great location in Esplugues de Llobregat, exclusively to aid in the adoption of our dogs that are desperately in need. It is an amazing opportunity to create a space for adoptions and events that will benefit each and every dog that we save. However, we have this space for 6 months only! So what does this mean? We must act fast!!

    What is our plan? For the next 6 months we plan to advertise ‘Adoption hours’ at this new ‘Adoption clinic’ for members of the public to come and see many galgos at once. This should increase greatly the number of galgos adopted. We know that without the help and support of you this gift of space cannot be a success.

    What can you do to help?
