  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – the galgos keep coming!

    GRA Machu 400 23 2 2021
    Machu In just 2 days Galgo’s Rescue Almeria collected all these unwanted galgos…thrown out by the galgueros…all young with many years ahead of them to live in happy forever homes. Contact Sandy Galgoslover is you would like to adopt one. And Sandy and John desperately need the funds to pay for all the blood tests and passports.

    Sandy tells the story.

    22/2/2021 – Today we collected these 3 Galgos at Maskota Clinica Veterinaria in Fuente Alamo. All 3 have already been dewormed and treated against fleas and ticks. Also a blood test has been done and all 3 are free of the Mediterranean diseases.
    Many thanks FMA to negotiate with the galgueros to hand them over. We can now start to make them ready for a new and better life.

    23/2/2021 – GRA was asked to help 3 galgos from Badajoz, 3 became 5 and finally 6 arrived.
    We already received a wonderful donation from Un Levriero per la Vita to cover part of the transport costs.
    We still need your help to cover the rest of the transport as also to cover their medical care ( chip / passport/ vaccinations / bloodtest / neutering /……)

    The same day these 2 new arrivals, two sisters Ariana & Victoria. They were handed over by a galguero from Jerez de la Frontera.
    We want to thank Kim for negotiating and getting them to safety.
    Next week they will get a complete checkup, blood tests, vaccinations, …….

  • Protectora Scooby – more galgos and podencos rescued – curses on the galgueros

    Scooby 1 3 2 2021 400
    In Scooby Medina!

    48 lives more safe! Last weekend we went to pick them up to Andalucía.

    Some of them have been given by their owners and others have been taken from the perreras.

    Some are so scared that they react when you approach them, others are sick and there are all ages, from puppies to grandpas.

    Where their owners, hunters, see them as a useless thing and a hindrance that the only thing that supposes them is an unnecessary financial expense, we see wonderful beings that the only thing they deserve is a dignified life, in a comfortable home and surrounded by love.

    Now they all have to pass a veterinary check and when they are ready we will present them to you, because we have to find responsible families for them.

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – raising funds to neuter hounds

    GRA fundraiser 400
    Again there is huge amount of abandoned galgos. Some of them are safe now with Galgo’s Rescue Almeria and are getting the necessary care (bloodtest, chip, a good large meal, a warm pyjama,..)

    Still the last step had to be done before they can start a new future. All of them need to be neutered. All help is welcome

  • Locked up and left to die – Protectora Scooby to the rescue again!

    From Protectora Scooby.

    ‘We are fed up! Tired of hearing hunters tell how much they love and care for their dogs, tired of hearing them say that cases of abuse suffered by dogs used for hunting (i.e. used as working tools) are anecdotal, which are cases isolated. We don’t like to generalize because there will always be an exception, but we’re sick of encountering ′′ isolated cases ′′ like this one from Esperanza, an abandoned galguita in Palencia. She was locked in a ship next to another dog, no water and no food and if they had taken to find them one more day, right now this little girl would be dead. Hope is just skin and bones, not able to stand or pee.

    It is inconceivable that a being, called human, will do this to another living being who feels and suffers just like any of us.
    Of course, the police are investigating the case and we hope they find the guilty of so much suffering and pay for all the damage it has caused to this little angel.

    In order to keep saving and changing lives, like the one of Hope, we need your help.

    Please donate, it will cost a lot to get this little galga back on her feet again and be checked to see if permanent damage has been done to her through severe starvation.

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again

    Scooby pregnant galga 1 400 1 2021
    From Scooby.

    ‘She was crossing the road in a very advanced state of pregnancy, looking for the food necessary to support herself and the 9 lives she carried inside.

    We set in a trap cage so we could rescue her before she gave birth, but it was not possible. So after, her rescue had to be prepared very well, it was vital to catch her together her babies. So this great family is safe, thanks to all people who helped to rescue her.

    And to all those brave mothers and all those babies, we want to tell you that we are not going to leave you, that we are never going to give up, that we are not going to stop fighting for you, to achieve more just laws that protect you as you deserve.

    The brave mum, luckily, already has a family waiting for her when she finishes raising her puppies.

  • Galgos en Familia – working for their own shelter

    Vera Thorenaar Redering has been saving galgos in the Malaga province since 2008. She’s one of the first volunteers I was in contact with when starting Galgo News. In November the Association created a fundraiser to try and raise the money to buy their own shelter. Here’s a link to see what happened in the current shelter a few years ago and the risk again with the torrential storms Spain experiences now in the winter.

  • Protectora Scooby – overflowing with galgos!

    And this is how we ended the 2020 year at Scooby, rescuing 25 galgos from the municipal perrera, and of which 19 are puppies from two different litters. See them all on this link.

    Two of the little ones have deformed front legs, possibly due to poor diet and another of the little ones, Cierzo, has neurological problems.

    The puppies, their mums and the rest of the newcomers are adorable and need to find families as soon as possible.

    If you want to adopt, send us an email to internationaladoptions@scoobymedina.org

    If you can´t adopt but you want to help us to continue saving lives, you can do that in the following ways:

  • Black Galgo puppies need your help

    Black Galgo puppies 400 1 2021
    These beautiful little galgo pups have had to overcome many difficulties despite their short age including the terrible parvo they managed to survive.

    It’s a lot of expenses that involve getting ahead of a litter and that’s why we need URGENT HELP in the form of a Royal Canin Puppy Medium, now on offer on platforms like ANIMAL STORE as well as 50 x 60 cm drenches, or financial help if you can send us to buy all this, either by PayPal (giving gift or donation to family or friends to avoid commission) to:

    Paypal : blackgalgo.paypal@gmail.com

    All the help you can offer will be well received and more than necessary, because we are on the edge of not being able to move forward with everything our little ones and our little ones require.

    Let us say goodbye to 2020 and look forward to 2021 with infinite solidarity that will help our greyhounds continue to fight against the cruel fate that was designated almost at birth, and together build a future without mistreatment, neglect or barbarism.
