  • 10 more galgos arrive at Galgos del Sur

    At Asociación Galgos del Sur they take care of 10 new galgos discarded by hunters.

    These 10 galgos come from Murcia, discarded by hunters for not being useful for hunting.

    Galgos are not born from trees, they are massively bred for the hunting world and discarded when tested and of no use.

    Galgos del Sur are at the limit of their means but they don’t stop picking up dogs and the abandonment doesn’t stop. They need help to move on.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – update on galgo puppy Sanvi

    From FBM

    Miracles are ALWAYS FRUIT OF LOVE – Sanvi: When everything seemed lost…

    When Sanvi came to us, her little body barely responded. Didn’t reflect, didn’t react… and for a few moments, we thought we were too late. But then something incredible happened: love, surrender, and hope began to take effect.

    Thanks to the tireless care of our vets, the daily affection of caregivers, and above all the work of volunteers from all over the world, Sanvi began, very little by little, to wake up.

    GRA origin 250
    The origin of Galgos Rescue Almería

    What started as an idea to open a dog boarding kennel on a piece of land in Cuevas del Almanzora, grew into a safe haven for the most vulnerable souls.

    The idea of ​​a dog boarding kennel soon took a completely different turn, one that would change the lives of many dogs.

    On August 13, 2017, an urgent request came in: whether we could help with a heavily pregnant galgo. Of course, we said yes.

  • Galgo Roque – full of wounds, rescued by Galgos 112 – donations for vet fees please

    Galgos 112 1 4 2025 350
    From Galgos 112.

    Holy Week, time of Christs, Painful, candles and processions. Saetas and feeling. Some are enjoying the processions, others take advantage of it to go on vacation. We, the volunteers of Galgos 112, keep picking up dogs full of misery, they look like other Christs.

    So we found this poor guy whom we named Roque. With years of misery on him, he has appeared full of wounds, perhaps from fighting with some other dog for something to eat, or perhaps for another reason, we don’t know…

    If just a little bit of that passion and feeling that floods the streets of our cities these days, translated into helping those in need, people and animals, we would all be better.
