  • 2 galgo Sisters with Amigo Galgos – hoping for a forever home

    Amigo Galgo 2 sisters 400 2 2022
    From Amigo Galgo

    BIMBA and LOLA; two Galgalese sisters in adoption. The first thing you thought when you saw their pictures is: “They are so beautiful! And they are. It’s true. Spectacular. And they are in every way.

    The red collar is Bimba and the green collar is Lola. They are two very young sisters. Two years old. And healthy like apples.
    They want to die with each other so we will never separate them. They are constantly looking for each other. They don’t know how to stay away from each other. Lola is more outgoing, more confident and sociable. Shyest baby, moves more carefully in places she doesn’t know. Lola treats her sister with immense cuteness; she carries toys, licks her ears and face… her gestures of love are very emotional. What sensitivity and delicacy they treat!

    It’s beautiful to see them playing, fun, enjoying, as if there were no more beings in the world. They. Always together.
    I said it; we shall not separate them. Who are we to break their hearts? They deserve to live and, in the end, die as they were born: together.

  • Spain is still in the dark ages – no help for the hunting dogs – Government lies!

    From Yo Galgo.

    Yeah!! The Government approves the processing of the Animal Welfare Law that includes hunting and working dogs, which will be treated like any other dog. Moreover, this law, approved a week ago in the Council of Ministers, will not only protect pets but all vertebrates as a whole. Wow!! Among other things, we celebrate that: Dog owners will have to become breeders and register as such if they want to breed animals. Whoever has five specimens must be registered as a zoological nucleus. Working dogs will have to meet conditions from the point of view of occupational risk prevention; they will not carry out professional activities until they are 18 months of age. All dogs must be registered as such in the Registry of Companion Animals. Hunting dogs that are kept or have access to the exterior of the houses and may have uncontrolled contact with others must be sterilized. As for giving away or selling a hunting dog to people not registered in the Breeders’ Registry, the dog must be spayed or with the commitment of its sterilization.

    ONLY this is the real truth!

  • Hunting has ended in Spain for this season – abandoned hounds everywhere, shelters overrun

    2 abandoned galgos 1 400 2 2022
    From Yolanda Jimenez Gordo

    ‘To you hunters that love your animals so much. Can you all really sleep peacefully?? They are still waiting for you, in the same place as you abandoned them, they are passing cold, hungry and desperate for not finding the miserable one who abandoned them. I just wish you suffer in life all the suffering you are going through them multiplied by ten, karma exists and you will pay for it.

    This is what happens when hunting work tools don’t work, they are abandoned, mistreated, killed.’

  • Greyhound transport South African style!!

    From Bianca Castelman Peens on facebook.

    ‘This is a taxi with a trailer full of Greyhounds, 34 in a small open trailer on their way to race them. I got onto their trailer and held their trailer and taxi hostage while phoning Benoni SPCA and my amazing friend Martine Hampson who arrived within minutes. Drove on the trailer with them with people behind and in front of them to make sure they didn’t get away. When animal lovers stand together! All of them are now safe and being assessed by the vet and a case opened. To all the men who passed while I was standing alone between 10 men to the ladies who all stopped to help these babies, THANK YOU!!

    PLEASE people don’t just turn a blind eye to shit like this, do something!

    THANK YOU BENONI SPCA, YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING. Martine my friend, THANK YOU

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    ‘Meet Starr, she arrived a few days ago. This girl is so anxious and insecure, it’s always very emotional to see such a broken soul. But she’ll feel a lot better soon, hopefully she will gain some trust soon.

    Off to the vet for tests and checkup.’

  • Protectora Scooby – galgo with a damaged nose

    From Scooby

    ‘Look at his nose. It’s one of the galguitos rescued in Andalusia and we don’t know what could have happened to him. We hope it was a misfortune accident and not that the man’s hand is behind.

    His name is Copernico and his nose will stay like this forever, but we don’t think this is an impediment for this handsome galguito to quickly find a family that will take care of him and love him as he deserves.

    If you want to share your life with Copernico or need more information, email adopciones@scoobymedina.org

    If you can’t adopt, but you want to help us continue saving lives, you can do it in the following ways:
