  • Greyhounds In Need – lending a helping hand

    GIN perrera galga deformed leg 400
    Greyhounds In Need support several rescue associations in Spain, as detailed in their regular newsletters. However here’s a story of an appeal from a UK rescue to which they responded.

    ‘We recently were asked for our help from a small charity in Devon, Hearts 4 Dogs, who were raising funds to help 3 galgos. One, Roma, needed an urgent operation on her back leg. We were pleased to be able to offer some funding to Sue and her team and have just heard that Roma is recovering well from her operation and plans are being made to bring her, Trianna, and puppy Alma, to the UK in July.’

    From Hearts 4 Paws Dog Rescue

    ‘A few days ago Greyhounds In Need (GIN) were made aware of our need to raise emergency funds for Roma and her operation. They were also told that unfortunately because of lack of funding we were unable to take the two other galgos that were in the Perrera with her. They have now been taken on by another rescue , we are glad to say.

    GIN said they would like to help support us and we are happy to announce that because of their very generous donation along with the money we are raising we have managed to reserve two more precious souls to come over on the same transport as Roma.
    Let me introduce you to Trianna and baby Alma,found alone in the countryside, covered in tics and fleas and very hungry.

  • Galgo in poor condition – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    GRA 3 new ones 2 400 face
    From Sandy Galgoslover

    ‘The 3 newcomers have had a quiet night. Viru & Atila don’t look bad at first sight, but it doesn’t mean they each carry a backpack from their past. The oldest of the 3, Zeneque is in bad shape. His skin shows many bald spots and has a red rash probably as a result of staying/sleeping in a dirty unsanitary environment. We immediately started a treatment with a special ointment that serves to make the skin supple and healed.

    You can support one of these 3 by:

  • Galga Buleria – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    ‘Buleria arrived at our shelter on March 17th. She came straight from a hunter region Badajoz, Extremadura.
    For those unfamiliar with Extremadura, this region is very rural and along with Andalusia, animals are generally treated very roughly.

    Buleria was so scared at her arrival and unfortunately she’s still afraid of men.

    Step by step she gains a little more confidence, hopefully in time she will be able to forget her harsh past and heal from her abuse.

    Buleria is such a lovely soul with a very gentle and soft character.

  • 4 older galgos need rescue and adoption

    Galgos with hunter 1 400 5 2022
    The galgueros are bastards when it comes to blackmailing rescuers. This appeal was on facebook last weekend, I’ve asked if they have been rescued. This is the story.

    ‘These 4 galgos are with a galguero who no longer wants them. We want to get them out and get them to safety, because we know their owner will get rid of them one way or another.

    They are relatively old, the galguero is impatient to see them leave, he gets angry, and made it clear to us that he was not going to wait to get rid of them….

    We still and always need donations to save them, and/or an association to take over.

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again – it’s never ending, please donate to help

    Scooby Tamara 400 1 5 2022
    Yet another poor galga desperately needing help. Here’s her story.

    ‘So many galgos saved, so many galgos in poor condition, so many medical costs,so many more requests for taking in galgos but our financial position does not allow this, that is what it is.

    But when the police bring us this poor girl with a badly broken leg, she´s also covered in ticks, we just can’t say no because in the perrera they will not operate her, probably they will put her down. We just can’t let that happen because she is maybe 1 year young so she still has an entire life ahead. The operation will cost almost 1000 Euros and we count totally on the help from you, the public, to help us to make it posible for Tamara, that’s the name we gave her, to be operated so she can make a new start in life.

    Together we can make her whole again!

    Paypal: fundacion@scoobymedina.org and please put Tamara. Thanks in her name!

  • Protectora Scooby always there for the hounds

    Scooby Tormenta 1 400
    This photo is of beautiful galga Tormenta, found abandoned with an enormous would in her side, several weeks ago. The photo of when she was found is on this weblink, be warned, upsetting pic.

    Cobie tells the story.

    ‘Tormenta was found abandoned with an enormous wound on her left side. She was treated, also with lasertherapy, for weeks but she has recuperated completely, just a scar and that’s all. So now she is looking for her forever home. She is very lively, just a bit over 1 year young, and an active family with maybe a few children who can play with her and make long walks, I’m sure she would love that! She is not scared or anybody, good on the lead, good with cats and a very happy, lovely small girl. Chip:…7466.

  • Love me like animals love….poignant poem

    Beautiful poignant words which were on the facebook post about a terrified podenco in Jerez perrera.

    IF YOU WANT TO LOVE ME…

    Love me like animals love,
    with a love that is not postponed for later, with a desire that knows no middle ground, with the fidelity that is always taking care of us, and with the naked gaze that never criticizes.

    love me like animals love
    with that tenderness that never manipulates,
    with a silence that makes everything comfortable, without urgency and with all his presence, where there is no room for indifference.

    love me like animals love
    with a tongue that does not hurt and if it kisses,
    with a claw of courage that never threatens,
    with that unconditionality that does not abandon, and with the peace of the true rational being.

    love me like animals love

    2 tiny galgo puppies found abandoned and suffering from a bad case of mange. Now after a couple of days’ treatment, they are starting to look better. Will take a while for their coats to regrow. Please donate to their treatment, Scooby is desperately short of funds and they have hundreds of galgos and podencos to care for, not counting the other animals including horses.
