  • Blind galgo Balu safe with Protectora Scooby

    Scooby Balu 1 400 8 2022
    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 for this rather painfull issue in the Scooby hospital in Santovenia. All went well and he (Balu) is back and he 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.

    Donations to help with the vet fees will be gratefully received.

  • Walking in Scotland for Podencos in Need

    Podencos in Need Scotland help rehome both podencos and galgos. As with all the rescue organisations, they rely on donations and fundraising. Here’s the latest fundraiser.

    Just 5 weeks until Edinburgh Kiltwalk, when Levi the Galgo and family are walking to raise awareness and funds for PINS. Not sure if training walks have been manageable in this heat but their fundraising is coming along nicely. Thanks for all the donations so far!

  • 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.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – the 4th arrival of 4 needing a blood transfusion

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    Meet Eden, the 4th one of the galgos saved last weekend.

    This girl was in such a terrible condition that we couldn’t leave her behind. We never saw in real something like this words aren’t enough this pictures make you speechless.

    In the clinic she was immediately given the first care. As we already suspected, Eden tested positive for one of the tick diseases ( Anaplasma ).This girl is so weak, dehydrated and anemic. An urgent blood transfusion was therefore necessary to give her any chance of survival. Amy, one of our very own galgos, donated blood to give this girl a chance to survive. Everything went well and Eden’s body has accepted the new blood very well.

    That is already a first step in her healing process that will take some time. We want to thank Helping Animals Almanzora for all the help/support so that Eden gets all the necessary care she needs now.

  • Galgo puppies fighting the virus – with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Further update from Sandy Galgoslover.

    Video

    ‘Running a rescue center means to be available for the animals day and night. Past night was tuff, almost a sleepless night, as Iris’s little ones have moved to our living room for care. They get food every few hours and the necessary attention & cuddles. Yesterday morning we decided to take 2 more little ones to the vet, both girls didn’t ate/drank anymore.

    We could visit their brother, he seemed to be on the mend, but it’s way too early to say hurrah. He will have to keep fighting hard in the coming days. Mum Iris didn’t looked very well, still the same: no improvement and her eyes radiated sadness. It’s heartbreaking to see them like this, if only we could take over their pain and suffering.

    Any help/support will be needed to cover their medical expenses. More updates to follow.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – sick galga Mum Iris and also some of her puppies

    GRA poorly puppy 400 7 2022
    From Sandy Galgoslover.

    ‘Protecting animals against diseases, viruses, bacteria…at Rescue it’s a constant battle and especially in the summer season it becomes a real nightmare with the persistent heat.

    We’ve had to take galga mum Iris to the vet, 1 day of not eating can happen but 2 days ….. Iris is exhausted. The combination of childbirth, so many puppies to feed and the unbearable heat had become too much for her. She’s on an a drip to give her extra fluids and minerals as well as medication, painkillers, anti-vomiting meds and stomach protectors.

    We also had 1 of her little ones examined, unfortunately the little guy tested positive for Corona. He’s still so small and we wanted to take care of him at home but our vet advised us to do the treatment in the clinic and keep them there for observation.

    In the meantime, we have taken his sisters and brothers out of the quarantine zone and housed them in our home. So we can observe them constantly, they are still so small and have to do without their mom.

    All help, support and prayers will be needed. Vet bill over 3,000 euros and growing!

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – a small shelter with a big heart

    From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria

    Video

    Volunteering for a charity fund raising is so important. Without funds we are unable to offer the full range of help and support the dogs need.

    Ask yourselves this question “ would you miss one euro a month “? That euro lying around everywhere,…..In the current situation every euro counts to help the animals in our care, and that is why we have set up a teaming group. For that small regular amount you can be part of our ‘Team’ (Galgosrescuealmeria) and support those who need our help the most. We’re hoping that most of our supporters and followers will join forces to raise much needed funds. All we are asking is that you commit to just one euro a month. Please follow the link below to be a part of this fund raising group.

    Remember in Teaming the important thing is not how much we give but with how many we are. Only together we can achieve more.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – 8 more new arrivals!

    GRA Badajoz 2 400
    8 new arrivals in one week, just after the pregnant galga! 4 new ones from the Badajoz region, a hellhole for galgos.

    And a couple of days later 4 more arrived. Fea, Alexa ,Drago and Rayó, they seem to be in quite good condition and not too traumatized. Drago has some wounds on his ears, Alexa has a wound on her hind leg and Rayó is limping. We will keep an eye on it for a few weeks and if no improvement is visible we will have x-rays taken.

    GRA is a small shelter overflowing with hounds, desperately needing help with vet fees and food.
