  • Galgo Titan making good progress with Animal Rescue Spain

    Animal Rescue Espana Titan 400 1 1 2021
    Do you remember this appeal. Here’s the latest good news about Titan.

    ‘Titan is reborn again, thanks to you who have helped us, thanks to your response. Titan was just another greyhound, abandoned, run over and pulled until some good hearted girls stopped in the middle of the gutter and contacted us. Yesterday he had surgery again and everything went well, so far he will remain in.

    We’ve done for Titan what any dog deserves. Sometimes we are told that we do too much for a dog that belongs to nobody but life is above all else for us and we are unstoppable together with you. Excited we call you. THANK YOU

    Titan gets released! Watch the video

    Thanks to you who help us, we make this moment possible.

  • Pet Portraits make a wonderful gift – supporting animal charities

    Viv pet portraits honey 400
    Regular readers will remember Viv and her incredible work in rescue in and around Cartagena in Murcia. Especially Viv founded ACTIN and fought for help for the hunting dogs kept in a metal container, amongst many other rescues. She also organised PAES International Conference on Animal Welfare to which I was invited to give a presentation on the plight of the galgos and podencos.

    Due to ill health Viv has had to step back from animal rescue, but is helping animals in another way. She is an amazingly gifted artist and on this weblink you can read about and see some of her work.

    A portrait of your pet would make a wonderful gift. Get in touch with Viv direct for more information.

    Viv’s partner Dan is also a gifted artist – working in mosaic. See more of his work on this weblink

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – Galgo Gitano needs your help

    GRA Gitano face 400 11 2020
    From Sandy at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria

    ‘This is Gitano, two weeks ago he came in our care. He is only 3 years old but unfortunately he is Leish positive.
    To know his exact values we had to do a full laboratory test. He was very skinny when he arrived and it seems he’s not gaining any weight. We received the results and they are not good at all, his kidneys values are very bad.

    Gitano is taking medication and we need to buy special kidney diet dry and wet food.

    We are not giving him up and will do everything what’s possible to save him.

    Please keep Gitano in your thoughts. All help to cover his medical costs and special food is welcome and we would be extremely grateful.’

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – please help build quarantine kennels

    Galgo’s Rescue Almeria appeal

    It’s necessary to separate new abandoned dogs from the ones who are already saved. It’s important for new arrivals to stay for 2 weeks in a separate place so they can recover and be vaccinated. We already raised an amount for all the materials for one kennel ( concrete, stones, cement, floor- and wall tiles, iron works, roof, …..). So all help to build the second one will be welcome .

    See a plan of the kennels and donate through Gofundme on this weblink.
