Galgos 112 – Galga Danna hoping for a forever home
From Galgos 112This beauty is Danna, the supermom who gave birth to her 5 puppies on the street and brought them forward. Now that they are all adopted and happy with their families, it’s her turn.
Danna is in residence waiting to go to a home with whoever wants to foster or adopt her. You don’t know what you’re missing by delaying it.
Danna, besides being beautiful, is sweetness in galga form. She loves cuddles and human contact. She is very well behaved and has a calm temperament. When he sees you with the strap in his hand he comes running to you to put it on and go for a walk. He can live with cats. Hopefully someone notices her soon.
Email info@galgos112.com for more information on how to foster or adopt Danna.

Galgo Salvador – Project Galgo & Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert couldn’t save him
Project GalgoSome of you may have known but many didn’t.
Salvador was named by one of our adopters and was so honoured to be that one. He was found in a hellish state having been attacked by the Galguero’s other dogs and left to rot. For everything that followed, Fundación Benjamín Mehnert words will hit you very hard. We send strength, love and eternal thanks to everyone there. He will never ever be forgotten. His name is etched in our hearts forevermore.
It is heartbreaking for us, but for them, it goes beyond..
Open letter from Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert

From Protectora ScoobyIt’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.

Dementia in dogs
Of all the dogs I have had in over 7 decades of my life, I have only had one with dementia. One was sadly stolen and never found; one young one was run over and killed; 3 were lost to cancer; one had dementia. The rest lived long and happy lives.
It was my borderline collie (99% border collie/1%spaniel) who developed dementia and it was upsetting to see. I’d find him standing still with no idea where he was, what direction to go in, straddling a low brick wall, snapping when caressed. He was in his teens by then, so it was part of the natural ageing process for him. In the end he became so confused it was kinder to comfort him as he was pts.
