Please help with the vet bill for this shelter. Toledo is a hell hole for galgos, there have been court cases against some galgueros there in the past.
Two galgas Xia and Julia found in a lamentable state with an eye coming out of orbit and a head wound. They had surgery but the bill is heavy and the sick are numerous in this shelter that welcomes the rescue. So a little paw for these girls who only have one eye left.
Thank you for them. Donate through the website link.
The hunters say that they do not abandon their dogs, that they love them very much and take good care of them until they die of old age.
Well, someone explain to us why there are so many hunting dogs in dog pounds and shelters…
Last weekend we have traveled to Andalucía to picked up 47 dogs disposed of by their owners because it is no longer profitable for them to keep them. 47 lives that will now have the opportunity to live as they always should have, surrounded by affection and receiving all the necessary care.

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, …….
Please, you can support one of these galgos to cover medical costs:

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.
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

‘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.
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.
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.
