From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria
For a century, they’ve suffered in silence. It’s time to stand up, show up, and make some noise.
The greyhound racing industry leaves a long trail of forgotten lives behind bars. These dogs can’t speak for themselves, which means it’s up to us to be their voice.
Join us in Manchester for the **Century of Suffering – March For The Murdered Million** and demand an end to the cruelty.

Chicken is usually recommended, along with rice, as a good for dogs especially recovering after illness. When I visited a shelter in Spain some years ago, raw chicken carcases were delivered from a chicken processing factory as food for the rescue dogs. I regularly feed minced cooked chicken to my dogs without a problem.
However, dogs can have allergies to certain foods just like humans. so can they have a chicken allergy?

Some dogs are more vocal than others. I’m not talking about barking, whether it be as an alarm because someone is at the door, orbarking in play. I’m talking about your dog talking to you. My Podenco Rosie loves carrying one of her toys in her mouth, especially when I’ve been out and return home. She nakes a lovely soft growly noise, tail wagging furiosly, for anything up to 2 or 3 minutes. I love it, and of course talk back to her!

Even though hunting with hounds in Spain ended at the end of January, the shelters are still overwhelmed with dogs abandoned and dumped in perreras.
No sooner has space been made in shelters because galgos have left for their forever homes but the space is soon filled by more innocent souls dumped by the galgueros. The pressure never stops.
As we all know, dogs will scavenge and eat a multitude of things they pick up. Some of these can be infected or in some cases in the garden, poisonous. They generally should know what to steer clear of eating, but not always.

WE NEED HELP. NOW MORE THAN EVER. There are times when a protector doesn’t need applause. Today we have over 400 animals in our care. Over 400 lives that depend entirely on us to eat, receive veterinary care and have a chance at a future. Among them are more than 40 animals with complex and serious veterinary treatments. Injured, sick dogs, recovering from surgeries, animals needing daily medication, tests, income and constant care. They are added to our cats and many other cases that require continuous attention.
The reality is we don’t have public aid. We don’t receive grants to cover this work. Everything we do, every rescue, every operation, every thoughtbag, every medicine, every life saved, exists because of the people who decide to help us. Thanks to you guys. (more…)
