  • 3 abandoned galgo puppies now safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    From Galgos Rescue Almeria

    A couple of days ago while we were on our way to a vet appointment with sick Podenca Amira, we received an unexpected call from our vet in Huércal-Overa. Three Galgo puppies had been abandoned at the practice, and the question was simple but urgent: can you help?

    Apparently, the three little ones had already spent three days in a small yard, without food or water. The police were contacted, but unfortunately, they didn’t respond immediately. Fortunately, a concerned person took matters into their own hands and eventually brought the puppies to the vet. Thanks to this act of compassion, they are now safe.

  • How to live with a reactive dog

    We recently went on holiday for a long weekend to a group meet of sighthound adopters. One of the greyhounds was very reactive to most of the other dogs. He was only friendly with a couple of the greyhounds he has met quite often. It’s the first time in over 70 years I have come across a reactive dog and it was very sad.

    Here’s an article about socialising a reactive dog.

    ‘Million thanks to all the people whose donations are helping Mila’s recovery. She is brave, eats a soft diet because of her wound in the mouth, but she tolerates food and medication well. The analytics indicate anemia already in treatment and lehismania. As soon as Dr. Cruz gives hers the hospital discharge, he will travel to Barcelona to finish recovering and start the treatment of lehismania.

    Million thanks, without you it would be impossible to save so many lives.

    From Galgos 112.

    This galga was abandoned with a terrible face injury. People walked by and ignored her until some volunteers collected her and took her to the Galgos 112 shelter.

    Mila has already been surgically operated on. She’s had to nucleate the eye and trigger the jaw, it presents a hole in the palate that almost connects to the eye. Doctor Cruz tells us that Mila couldn’t open her mouth and that these serious injuries are not recent, meaning that the suffering they have caused her is unimaginable.
