  • Research into the health of Spanish galgos – survey form to complete

    Hello, my name is Mathéo Casa and I am a final year veterinary student. I am doing my final project on all the peculiarities of Spanish greyhounds. I am passionate about this breed and I want to improve the life of Spanish greyhounds through this work and I want to know more about the health of this breed. I need you to fill out a survey to help me get information. Please, if you have more than one Spanish greyhound, fill out a survey per dog. Once my work is finished, it will be published through Scooby’s social networks so you can see how special Spanish greyhounds are!! Thank you very much !!! Matheo Casa

  • Galgo Drack at death’s door – safe with Animal Rescue Spain

    Animal Rescue Spain Drack 400 4 2022
    From Animal Rescue Spain

    ‘He walked along the road, without strength, bleeding from his legs from spending days walking on the asphalt, desperately looking for food, with his skin stuck to his bones and about to die of starvation. We have called him Drack. We are healing his wounds, his physical and soul wounds, even though he only thinks about eating. This galgo is synonymous with strength and struggle, abandonment and indifference. He is already in Animal Rescue Spain, cared for, protected, resting. He doesn’t know it, but he will never suffer again.

    Since his arrival he has already gained 2 kilos, but is still very thin. His infectious disease tests came back negative and that broke our hearts even more, because that’s how we know Drack got to this state – because of lack of food, they tried to starve him to death, and they surely threw him in the bones into the street. He walked for days and days down the road, where his legs were smashed and his pads were left raw, full of wounds and with a voracious hunger. Drack is now reborn at Animal Rescue Spain and reminds us that dogs are strong and grateful. Every caress, every can, every cure, every sausage, every treat, returns a look of gratitude on their part and that is our greatest reward.

  • SOS Galgos, Barcelona – a new shelter

    SOS Galgos in Barcelona have been working for over 20 years helping the Spanish hounds. This weblink is to an article about a new shelter they have opened.

  • Giving rescue dogs a chance

    Not about galgos or Spanish hounds but I thought you might be interested to read this story of a young woman in Romania (where we know the dogs also suffer horrendous cruelty) and her work saving the street dogs.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – Galga Delia with Filaria

    GRA Delia 3 2022 400
    From Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    ‘Delia arrived at our Shelter a few weeks ago. This sweet girl had such a sad look in her eyes. After a checkup and a blood test, it turned out at first sight that Dalia had Filaria (heart worm). Again a blood sample was taken for laboratory research, unfortunately this also turned out to be positive for Filaria. This disease can be treated if caught on time and with the right medication.

    We have started her treatment. The first weeks are a cocktail of pills and during the treatment she has to receive 3 injections.

    You can support this girl :

  • SOS Galgos Barcelona – working with student osteopaths

    Many years ago I had the pleasure of visiting SOS Galgos in Barcelona. They are another long established galgo and podenco rescue association, working with the late Anne Finch to close down the Barcelona canododrome in 1996. Recently they were visited by student osteopaths to work on their rescued galgos.

    ‘Last week we had a special day at the Centre for our galgos. Students training to become osteopaths for animals, who are in their third year of training came and worked their magic on our needy galgos. At first they didnt know what to think of it but then they relaxed and you could tell they felt so relaxed and just let go and enjoyed their sessions.

    Thank you I.F.O.A. for making this happen and thanks to Javi who came to film the session to include in a video in the making which we share with you.
