Scooby Residencia Valladolid – blind galgo Balu in recovery
From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid.‘This very sweet galgo is blind and if that isn’t already bad enough, now he also has a bloodear/othematome in both ears! He has been operated on this rather painful issue in the Scooby hospital in Santovenia. He (Balu) has undergone the operation as a real hero! He does not like too much the Isabellina cap but what needs to be has to be and hopefully it won’t be needed very long. Well done to the vets and to our special blind boy Balu.’
Eventually Balu will be looking for a very special home, preferably with another dog.
We have a blind podenco and his housemate wears a bell on her collar. He is amazing the way he finds his way around using his nose and hearing.

From Sandy Galgoslover’12 9 2022
Busy morning, 5 dogs had an appointment at the vet. Huge vet expenses for a small rescue – if you can donate, please click on this weblink.
– Sofia: this girl has made a huge step forward, her weight increased from 16kg to 20.60kg. Her treatment for Erlichia and Anaplasma has ended and the 28 days of Milteforan have also been completed. Today a new blood test was done to check if she also has Babesia.
– Cabriola: she too has already made enormous progress. Checkup was ok, a blood test was also done for Babesia. She has also ended her treatment for Erlichia and Anaplasma.
– Violetta: meanwhile has gained enough weight (25kg), finished her treatment for Anaplasma and is being spayed today (she tested negative for Babesia).
– Fiona: also ended her treatment for Anaplasma but unfortunately tested positive for Babesia. To avoid risks of internal bleeding she will only be sterilized after her treatment. She received step one of her treatment today and will remain in the clinic for observation until this evening.
And last but not least our crazy Pod

SOS Galgos Barcelona and Seville – 20 years of saving galgos
Many years ago I was lucky enough to visit Barcelona and meet Anna Clements and family who founded SOS Galgos. They were involved with the rescue of 700 racing galgos and some British greyhounds kept in appalling conditions at the Barcelona racetrack which, with the help of the late Anne Finch, founder of Greyhounds in Need, had the racetrack closed down.
Involvement with the Spanish hunting dogs and their plight is a very emotional and physical journey every day. Recently the association kennels in Seville were flooded during a storm and all the dogs had to be moved quickly.
If you want to read more about the work of SOS Galgos, this link takes you to their website.
This story is about a recent rescue.

The Story of Galgo’s Rescue Almeria
In 2015 Sandy and John Cortebeeck sold up in Belgium and moved to Almeria to open a kennels. As with all good intentions, for dog lovers in Spain, the mass abandonment of galgos and podencos takes over everyone’s life. Thank goodness there are people willing to give up almost everything to help these amazing dogs, treated like rubbish by the sub-human Spanish galgueros.Click on this weblink to read the full story.
