Toledo – galgo puppy for adoption
‘She is “fleeting” a beautiful pure galgo puppy, who has been born with a malformation in the right rear paw, so she is no good for hunting or racing! But she will have a normal life, walks and runs without a problem with the other dogs, is very good, and will be a beautiful little girl whose malformation will not prevent doing anything. In fact, with this poblem it has only served to ensure her life will be more happy from puppyhood.! She’s going to be a home, not hunting.
It’s ideal. Mimosona and creamsicle.
She will have a contract of adoption and sterilization before the year.

Scooby – saving the hounds is never ending
Scooby writes. ‘After 8 years of hunting and giving birth, this adorable galga has been abandoned by her owner. This is how many galgueros thank their dogs the loyalty they have shown towards them by hunting hares and giving birth to puppies to sell, exchange them or also use them for hunting. And it is that no matter how much the galgueros insist on denying it, thousands of galgos are abandoned in Spain every year.

More concerns for Spanish rescues homing hounds in the UK
This is taken from Bev Farmer’s fb page Podenco Friends.
‘Changes to the entry of rescue dogs to the UK basically if the UK exit the EU with a deal or no deal the Euro tunnel will no longer be a designated Border Inspection Point for Dogs, Cats or Ferrets.. Some months ago the ferry companies stopped accepting transports with rescue dogs on and the only point of entry was the Tunnel. If this is correct the only means of transport will be by plane to the UK very few airlines fly dogs to the UK and the last one we flew over cost 600 pounds plus the cost of the crate paid by the adopter so will be beyond the affordability of most people .. I can not confirm if this is accurate information but
I am aware many agencies have been lobbying to stop the import of foreign rescues due to animals arriving sick and with incorrect paper work. If anyone has any information regarding these changes please let us kno. This is a statement copied from a post by the group below

Galgo Polar – what has he been up to?
I haven’t mentioned my beautiful handicapped galgo Polar for a while…it’s 6 years this month (June) that he came to me from Pepis Refuge in Pedrera, Spain. Here’s his story. He is a gorgeous galgo, chases and plays with his buddy Bracken and never shows any sign of pain from his damaged knee. He has been on turmeric for a while but I have now changed to Devil’s Claw, which I used in the past for both my first greyhound and my old horses for arthritis. He loves lying on his back with legs in the air asnd a grin on his face, and follows me around…he’s definitely a Mummy’s boy – till he sees a cat stalking mice in the meadow behind the house. Then the hunting instinct kicks in! Luckily there is plate glass between them! He also has lots of toys, loves to carry something in his mouth, he’s got 2 toyboxes full! Below is a pic of him in the courtyard with a selection of his toys. Love this dog to bits!! -
