  • Rehoming a galgo – what they need to learn

    Galgos 112 explains what a galgo needs to learn when going into foster or adoption.

    ‘Galga Leía just arrived at her foster home. The most trivial things are a challenge for her. From going up and down stairs, an elevator, TV or a vacuum cleaner. At first it’s not easy for them and it’s the work of the family that welcomes them to help them get through this stage patiently, without trauma. It’s an exciting and very rewarding task.

    Being foster family is not only opening your home to a dog who needs to physically recover. It’s so much more. To foster also means meeting each dog, understanding and introducing him into a different world by taking the first steps in his education. It’s accompanying him and giving him the help he needs to recover that worthy life he should always have.
    If you haven’t had this experience yet we encourage you to host at least once, better if more. Without foster homes we can’t help them anymore.

  • Galga puppy Evy on the mend with Galgo’s Rescue Almeria

    A while ago I reported about pregnant galga Dana with Galgos Rescue Almeria. She safely delivered 8 pups but sadly 4 of them didn’t survive. Here’s the latest news about them.

    We have had to separate one of the 3 puppies from her brother and sister. This little timid girl was unfortunately bitten by her sister. The injury in her neck was a little bit too serious to ignore. She stays now in our house to recover in peace.

    Update little Evy:

    It’s now 4 days that we took this little girl away from her baby sister & brother because she was attacked. At this moment she’s doing better and the wound is healed.

    Evy is still tiny but she’s playful and eating well. If she continues to make progress she will receive her second vaccination just like her sister & brother.

  • Stolen galga – keep your eyes open

    Stolen galga 8 9 2021 400
    Hunting with galgos has started again in Spain and it is not uncommon for galgos to be stolen. Here’s an appeal for one, no microchip number mentioned so it’s likely she will be far away, though I hope for her owner’s sake they get her back.

    ‘Please share this message.

    This beautiful galga was stolen on Saturday 4 september from someone’s property in Hijar. The thieves drove a white Iveco van, 3 persons in it:man-woman-child. If someone heard or saw something please contact the owner on (Spain 0034) 633-299-255.
    There is nothing so painful loosing your pet and don’t know what happened.’

  • Spain – hunting with hounds has started again – whilst dogs are still being dumped!

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    Rescuing abandoned animals is a never-ending story.

    More and more we get appeals for help from private people who find or see dogs wandering in the streets, in the fields, etc.
    Also from other shelters that can’t handle the massive influx of dogs.

    We are a small shelter with limited places and with a lot of pain in the heart we sometimes have to say no.

    While all shelters are still busy helping and saving dumped dogs from last hunting season, last Sunday the bang of the guns could be heard again, the new hunting season has already started again.

    All support / help stays welcome.
