  • New arrivals at Galgo Rescue Almeria

    New arrivals in the last few days. Sandy tells their story. Please donate if you can help with vet bills for them all, so they can be adopted.

    This is Faro, he comes from the same hunter as Fletcha, Timo and Olivia. He is 4 years old and unfortunately also he has leishmaniasis. e will take him to the vet to analyse the blood results and see which treatment he needs. Look at the poor state of the boy, hardly any hair on his legs, scar face, sores on his body.

    Thanks Tracey Smith for saving Faro and to convince the hunter to handle him over.

    After Faro, Princesa and Careca no we have 3 more newcomers arrived, Neron, Triana and Rocio. All 3 come straight from the galguero.

    Updates / more info will follow.

  • Ann’s Canine Care, Malaga – another needy soul saved from the Spanish hunter

    Ann MP Precious 1 400 1 12 2020
    From Ann Marie Payne of Ann’s Canine Care

    ‘Preziosa (Precious) has arrived directly from a galguero, very scared, skinny, her body covered in wounds old and new, and hungry. So scared she had to be carried from crate to crate. In fact we had to carry her in the crate to the house. My intention was to bring her into the bedroom with me, but decided to leave her in the crate overnight where she felt safe.

    She had some raw chicken for dinner which she loved, and even took some from my hand. Then shortly after she had some rice and fresh vegetables, she loved that also. After maybe half an hour or so her body language began to change, she softened her outline and stretched out. Then she curled up and went to sleep. She’s 5 years old, and very sweet natured, even when scared she’s submissive rather than aggressive. She will make a lovely loyal pet I’m sure.

  • Pet Portraits make a wonderful gift – supporting animal charities

    Viv pet portraits honey 400
    Regular readers will remember Viv and her incredible work in rescue in and around Cartagena in Murcia. Especially Viv founded ACTIN and fought for help for the hunting dogs kept in a metal container, amongst many other rescues. She also organised PAES International Conference on Animal Welfare to which I was invited to give a presentation on the plight of the galgos and podencos.

    Due to ill health Viv has had to step back from animal rescue, but is helping animals in another way. She is an amazingly gifted artist and on this weblink you can read about and see some of her work.

    A portrait of your pet would make a wonderful gift. Get in touch with Viv direct for more information.

    Viv’s partner Dan is also a gifted artist – working in mosaic. See more of his work on this weblink

    From Rocio Castillo Gonzalez

    ‘Glory, a mix galga-podenca, Small-medium size (12 kg)

    One year she has been at the Podencos Y Mas -Malaga- shelter, this princess is waiting for you to look at such a beauty. She’s our top model… but still no one has given her a chance yet.

    She’s 2 years old and was rescued at just 1 years old from a Noe syndrome in Huelva. Came in a lot of fear and full of bugs outside and inside.

    Now she’s a cute doll, healthy and full of love and happiness to give whoever is lucky enough to give her a good home.
    Can you help us so Gloria can write her happy ending?

    It’s time for you, isn’t it, Glory?

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – Galgo Gitano needs your help

    GRA Gitano face 400 11 2020
    From Sandy at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria

    ‘This is Gitano, two weeks ago he came in our care. He is only 3 years old but unfortunately he is Leish positive.
    To know his exact values we had to do a full laboratory test. He was very skinny when he arrived and it seems he’s not gaining any weight. We received the results and they are not good at all, his kidneys values are very bad.

    Gitano is taking medication and we need to buy special kidney diet dry and wet food.

    We are not giving him up and will do everything what’s possible to save him.

    Please keep Gitano in your thoughts. All help to cover his medical costs and special food is welcome and we would be extremely grateful.’
