    From Asociacion Del Sur in Cordoba

    We don’t stop. We are desperate. The galgueros don’t stop dumping and abandoning dogs destined for hunting. This galgo was abandoned in a village of Jaén. They’ve been behind her for 5 days to rescue her. He could have starved to death or a heat stroke, it’s coming very badly. She is now safe at our shelter.

    WE NEED TO FUND OVER 100 DOGS. YOU CAN HELP US IN THIS WAY:

  • Start of hunting season in Spain


    From Galgos 112

    On August 10, the “hunting tooth in hand” period of rabbit begins in Andalucia. It’s a minor type of hunting in which dogs are used to track and capture pieces, without the use of firearms. The terror begins for the poor dogs that won’t stop until February.

    We are noticing how the date is getting closer by the number of greyhounds and podencos that appear lying around: now is when they start to take them out of the zulus to prepare and test them. Every day there are new ones abandoned, they are the ones that aren’t strong or the ones that don’t serve them to hunt.

  • 3 abandoned galgo puppies now safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    From Galgos Rescue Almeria

    A couple of days ago while we were on our way to a vet appointment with sick Podenca Amira, we received an unexpected call from our vet in Huércal-Overa. Three Galgo puppies had been abandoned at the practice, and the question was simple but urgent: can you help?

    Apparently, the three little ones had already spent three days in a small yard, without food or water. The police were contacted, but unfortunately, they didn’t respond immediately. Fortunately, a concerned person took matters into their own hands and eventually brought the puppies to the vet. Thanks to this act of compassion, they are now safe.

  • Galga Mila in recovery


    Update on Galga Mila with Galgos 112, with terrible face injuries.

    ‘Million thanks to all the people whose donations are helping Mila’s recovery. She is brave, eats a soft diet because of her wound in the mouth, but she tolerates food and medication well. The analytics indicate anemia already in treatment and lehismania. As soon as Dr. Cruz gives hers the hospital discharge, he will travel to Barcelona to finish recovering and start the treatment of lehismania.

    Million thanks, without you it would be impossible to save so many lives.

  • Galga Mila with terrible facial injuries – abandoned and suffering

    From Galgos 112.

    This galga was abandoned with a terrible face injury. People walked by and ignored her until some volunteers collected her and took her to the Galgos 112 shelter.

    Mila has already been surgically operated on. She’s had to nucleate the eye and trigger the jaw, it presents a hole in the palate that almost connects to the eye. Doctor Cruz tells us that Mila couldn’t open her mouth and that these serious injuries are not recent, meaning that the suffering they have caused her is unimaginable.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – another victim of a Spanish road traffic accident

    The Cruelty of Abandonment of a Hunting Dog: The Pain of a Shattered Galga. She’s been run over. Came to Fundación Benjamín Mehnert in the state you see in the video below.

    This galga is a direct victim of irresponsible abandonment, a cruel practice that condemns thousands of animals, especially greyhounds and hunting dogs, to unimaginable suffering. Having served for the hunt, many are discarded mercilessly, left to their luck on roads and paths, where they face constant dangers and certain death or lives filled with pain.

    We demand laws that actually protect these defenseless beings.

  • Galgos De Leon – Galga Mina with a head trauma

    Leon Mina 2 350
    With Galgos de Leon

    MINA Galgos De León received a notice yesterday of an abandoned galga with a severe head trauma, so they immediately arranged everything to go get it. They took her directly to the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Leon where she has been admitted and they are already testing her, and the ophthalmologist of the hospital will evaluate, hopefully she doesn’t lose her eye.
    And depending on the results of the Rx you still have to do a CT scan. She’s stable, but not out of danger.

    Let’s hope that there are no complications and that everything goes well, now there is no forecast of anything, but to continue organizing, they are looking for a #fosterhouse in #León for when they leave. If you can host her write a WhatsApp to 686369225.
