    We update: in one eye he has no vision, in the other very little, a terrible infection inside his mouth. The vet tells us that he’s very old. Poor Bruno must have suffered the unspeakable, now he’s being fed a very nutritious diet so he can eat because he’s hungry. Come Grandpa much strength ❤️

  • Galgos112 – rescuing a large galgo family in Jaen

    Galgos 112 Mum 400 2Galgos 112 recently took on this new galgo family.

    ‘We asked for help to host the galgo puppies found in Jaén, now we tell you their story.

    We got a request for help for a group of galgos who were abandoned almost a month in a village, were walking through the streets in the heatwave of more than 40º, no food or water, just what some neighbors gave them out of pity.

    When volunteer Sara arrived in town, 3 Adult Galgos and four pups were found, the situation was bad, two of the pups were half dead and did not react, the other two were active but also in bad condition. They were easily caught two of the adults and the four Cubs, and without waiting any more they put them in the car and went to the veterinary clinic where they were treated with water, antidiarrheal and deworming for intestinal worms and Coccidia. They were also full of fleas. Even better, they began to eat.

  • Great Global Greyhound Walk, 11 6 2017

    Great Global Greyhound Walk 400 2017A friend of mine organised a French one…here’s her report. ‘It was the Great Global Greyhound Walk today and I organised the one in France. My dear friends supported the walk and I asked for donations to be made to Pepis Dog Refuge. There were four Sighthounds, my rescue Greyhound Jack, Malva my rescue Galgo and Beryl brought Polar and Bracken. Friends joined in with their own dogs as well. We raised €55 today and some more has been promised. I will send via PayPal as soon as I know the full amount. Keep up the good work!’

    In the photo – Claire is in pink with spaniel Stan, retired rescued greyhound Jack and black galga Malva from Scooby. I’m in blue on the right with cream boy Polar from Pepis and OH David is at the end with brindle galgo Bracken from Galgos del Sol.

  • Scooby – Open letter to animal protection organisations in Castille y Leon

    Scooby Alma 400 6 2017Here’s a link to the Scooby News blog where Fermin asks that all animal protection associations in Castille y Leon work together to form a strong group to fight the maltreatment of animals there.

    This stunning galga has been named Alma, saved from the Valladolid perrera. She has an old injury to her foreleg which was left to heal on its own! Scooby have also taken another galgo from the same perrera also with a broken foreleg and he is due to have an operation to try and repair it. They need help to pay for his vet care, along with all the other animals they recently rescued.

    If you can’t have a dog or can’t adopt another one, how about a Virtual Adoption? Here are the details.

  • Pepis Refuge, Pedrera, Seville – help the dogs the Spanish don’t want

    Pepis 400 009A couple of years ago Pepi’s Refuge was hit by the parvo virus, resulting in a huge vet bill. This year they were hit by distemper. With so many dogs in the refuge and donations dropping considerably, there was not the money to vaccinate against the disease. 3 galgos died, Jane Brian is still giving medication to several others. This week she was rushed into hospital with severe pains. She is now back at the refuge, on medication but still giving medication to the dogs – the dogs always come first with Jane and Alan.

    Things have never been so dire at the refuge. On one hand we have fewer dogs than we have in a long time, on the other there’s no money to feed them, let alone get them prepared for transport. Donations have never been so slow and despite Alan and Jane using their pensions week in and week out, the pot is empty. The distemper that rampaged through the refuge has amounted to a huge vet bill that we simply cannot pay. And whilst it is unpaid we cannot take any other dogs to get them prepared to travel to foster and forever homes.

We also need shavers, field cloths, 6 + 1/2 sterile gloves, blue pathways (small), oxygenated water and internal deworming … If you have some of these items and you would like to donate them to us, we will be deeply grateful.

  • Scooby rescuing in Mazarron, Murcia – hounds victims of galgueros’ brutality!

    Scooby Marazzon 2 400Scooby collected 27 dogs, mainly podencos and greyhounds in Mazarrón, Murcia, last weekend (22/23 April 2017). A Spanish region where the galgueros’ and hunters’ brutality is unbelievable.

    Some of them are in a terrible condition; like this adorable brindle male galgo that is ‘skin and bones’, and suffers from Leishmania, and the black female galga that lacks a paw … Both are in Fermin´s place till they become stronger and ready for adoption.

    This season the abandonment has been quite high in Castilla y Leon so we have only been able to pick up dogs in the south of Spain twice; in January in Cadiz and now in Murcia. For now on and until our economic situation improves, we will not be able to rescue more …
