  • Galgo News e-bay auction – bid now and help the refuges and galgos!

    The Galgo News auction on e-bay is now running; here’s what Carla, the organiser, says.

    ‘In order to buy on ebay you have to set up an account – which also may mean adding a credit card.

    The auctions are run from Sunday to Sunday – when the current items are over new items will be there for 7 days. I will run 4 (7) day periods to maximize the sales. So basically NEW AND EXCITING ITEMS each week. So bid high and bid often – look each week for what’s new!’

    Thanks Carla, come on, everyone, place your bids for this week

    Her story is simple, parents at a school gate and there she was, on her last will to live. Curled up, not wanting anything else in life. badly done to, treated like dirt, and there are thousands and thousands, tens of thousands like her, solitary and bleeding, infected and alone. For this girl, fortunately there was an anamilist amongst the group of horrified parents at the gate of the school. She didn’t run or even try to, simply raised her head to her rescuers hand and now in hospital care.
