Two new galgas recently arrived at Refugio Kimba in Chiclana, Cadiz.
They are QUEEN and LORA.
LORA is the dark tabby, she is incredibly elegant and beautiful and QUEEN is gorgeous and with a look that conveys a lot.
They come from Galguero, that hard life is already behind them, now everything that comes is good. Welcome princesses
A vestibular problem is more likely to manifest itself in older dogs. If you notice your dog’s behaviour changing – balance, head tilting – then this could be a possibility.

Refugio Kimba is the oldest animal shelter in Spain, down in Cadiz. Here’s a lucky new galgo safe at the shelter now after weeks on the street.
NEW RESCUE HERBIE
He was on the street for several weeks, he approached people but wouldn’t let himself be caught. Thanks to two people feeding him doing a routine and the team at SOS RESCUE, we were able to rescue him.
Hhe had some wounds on his back paws but they will heal soon.

Over the years I’ve mentioned this association when they have taken on board the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs which the sub human hunters have tried to kill, without success, or have been unbelievably seriously injured on the roads. Here’s a story of just such another poor galga who, despite all her suffering at the hands of a hunter, still has the capacity to love,
And another story of the amazing work done by the Spanish volunteers to rescue and rehabilitate a poor galga left for dead.
A NEW MIRACLE CALLED RENEE. She was found half buried. As a consequence, her hind legs did not respond.
X-rays and other tests showed no injury to either her spine or her legs. But Renee couldn’t walk … Still we never gave up, and we set out to rehabilitate her paws and make her walk.
A miracle, an achievement of the entire team, and her enormous spirit of self-improvement have made Renee eventually walk. We can call it a miracle, because it certainly is. But it has also been the result of intense and hard work by her veterinarian Mariana and her physiotherapist Elena, who never threw in the towel, and by all of us who have always encouraged and helped her achieve it.

‘Last year we picked up a galgo with a chip whose owner did not want him, so we brought the fact to the competent authorities. Well, a few weeks ago we got the resolution of the filed complaint and we share with you to give us if you want your opinion, because if we take into account that the poor dog could have died, been run over (among other things) 3.001,00 € fine left something short…
The good thing is that now our handsome boy will have the chance to start a new and happy life with a family that values and truly loves him.

A new strain of tick-borne disease
Ticks can carry quite a few pathogens that can cause disease in dogs and humans. Some of these pathogens are viruses, some are bacteria, and some are protozoa (single-celled animals). Rikettsia are very small bacteria species that grow inside the living cells of their hosts. Different strains of Rikettsia are responsible for diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and various strains of typhus.
