A couple of weeks ago I published about Galgo Roque, rescued by Galgos 112 in a terrible state.
Here’s the latest update, he’s doing ok.
Roque is getting better! Little by little and thanks to Lola his foster mom Roque is recovering, he takes a liver diet and as soon as the analyzes indicate that liver values recover, the treatment for Lehismania will begin. With the medicinal baths, the shells are falling off and he feels very relieved. Thank you Lola for taking care of him so well.
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.
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.
From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria
Gineta is a proud 15-year-old black Galgo, her past is and remains a big mystery. She doesn’t look 15 but everything has been checked, chip number, date of implantation, and date of first rabies vaccination and the only conclusion is that her date of birth is indeed 02-06-2010. Her soft eyes tell stories of pain and disappointment, but also of an indestructible spirit.

BAD NEWS
Today we have to give you a very painful and heartbreaking news. Our shelter is closing its doors forever in this place. After seeing its condition and assessing the damage, another reconstruction is impossible, we can’t cope.
Besides the risk of losing one of our dogs has been too close this time, 2 dogs from the outside area escaped death by minutes and if the person who received the warning call, had the phone on silent or a deeper sleep, today we would be crying the death of all our dogs and we can’t cope with that.
Our shelter has always been our greatest pride, our safe place and who knows us knows how much we have fought for it, years of effort and dedication.

‘So we just picked up this galga in the municipal area of the Station – Linares – Baeza.
A very serious case of animal abuse, it has the whole back in live flesh and in the first X-ray we have done, they have detected the femur completely separated from the body. Looks as thought she was hit by a vehicle and dragged along the road.
Right now she is stabilizing and they are going to do all the healing to see the severity of the damage. It is going to take a long time for the physical damage to heal, as well as the emotional ones.
WE ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF HELP – please donate

From Protectora Scooby
It’s almost the end of hunting season with galgos and they are dismissed at a great scale, as always! Almost on a daily bases they are left behind by the galgueros in our Scooby shelter where at least they have a better chance to a dignified life and a better future. Here you see just a few of the ones abandoned the last couple of weeks but there were many more.
From Platforma NAC (No a la Caza)
[INTERNATIONAL PROTESTS] Europe united against cruelty. 32 European cities will take to the streets to demand an end to dog hunting. All details by city on this weblink.
Thanks to international solidarity, thousands of abandoned hunting dogs in Spain find a second chance.
Hunting with hounds in Spain is a barbaric practice that condemns thousands of animals to a lifetime of suffering and, in many cases, to violent death. It is time to ban this atrocity and ensure the well-being of all sentient beings.
🇪🇸 Spain, wake up! We are the only country in the EU that allows this barbarism.
