  • Galgo Cate with a genital injury = more bills for Asociacion Somos Galgos

    May be an image of tick

    Today we introduce you to Cate. This cutie is a 4-year-old male and is already sick. We took him to the hospital today because, as you can see, he has a pretty serious genital injury.  For now, they have told us that we need to perform surgeries and give him a lot of medication for the infection and pain. Next week, if he gets better, we will have to operate on him.
    Summer is being tough, for them and for us. More bills and no definitive adoption.  You know we do what we can, but between veterinary, residency, and educators expenses, we can’t take on more dogs for now.
    WE CLOSE DOORS UNTIL RECOVERY

  • Starving and injured – rescued and safe with Asociacion Somos Galgos

    Video

    Video

    This little girl is Galena. It means “healer” and we chose it so that her name gives her strength. We rescued her with a rescuer knowing she was going to be in very bad condition, but when we saw that what was on her face was not a simple wound but a gunshot… we had to act fast.
    We’ve taken her to the emergency room: we’ve been confirmed that the hole in her face is a gunshot, plus she has a huge loss of blood, dehydration, severe malnutrition, a pulmonary enphysema and pneumonia.
    For now they can’t operate it because they don’t think it’s past the anesthesia. Let’s start with antibiotics and wound cleanings.
    You know how this goes, we are not leaving the little one no way but we need help paying the bills….

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    I made a little movie of Ana’s story.  Her saving was only possible with lots of help from a few people.
    Now she can be a mum for all her babies and watch them grow up till they are old enough to go their own way.

  • Ex-racing galga – used, abused, injured – now safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Video

    Late week, our van headed to Los Gallardos to pick up a 2-year-old girl. She had been used for competitive racing, but due to injuries to her hind leg, she was no longer considered “useful.”  At the rescue center, she is now finally receiving the rest, care, and time she needs to recover. We will continue to monitor her progress closely and share more updates soon.

  • Does your dog talk to you?

    Some dogs are more vocal than others.  I’m not talking about barking, whether it be as an alarm because someone is at the door, orbarking in play.  I’m talking about your dog talking to you.  My Podenco Rosie loves carrying one of her toys in her mouth, especially when I’ve been out and return home.  She nakes a lovely soft growly noise, tail wagging furiosly, for anything up to 2 or 3 minutes.  I love it, and of course talk back to her!

  • Galgo Batman with Protectora Scooby, hoping for a forever home

    Video

    BATMAN, born 2021.  Small in size, black and white, with the sweet face of a puppy.  Batman is a gentle, sensitive, and very kind galgo.
    The shelter is far too difficult an environment for him.  Being small and delicate, he struggles in such an intense and competitive setting.
    He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a calm, protected home where he can live peacefully, relax, and feel safe.
    Like many male galgos, Batman is affectionate, tender, and forms a deep bond with people.  He is also good with other dogs.  Batman needs peace, love… and a real chance.

    When she sees you again, she comes closer with growing trust.
    Cassia simply needs a sincere hand, patience, and good intentions. She will do the rest, winning you over day by day.

  • 6 more unwanted galgos dumped with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    6 galgos on this weblink.

    Help us save 6 galgos… they need us.  A few days ago, we received a request we simply couldn’t ignore…A plea to help 6 galgos. 6 souls who are still with their owner (a hunter) in the Extremadura region.  They have no voice. No choice. No certainty about what tomorrow will bring…We want to give them that chance. A life without fear. A warm bed. Care, love, and safety — things they’ve never truly known.
    But we can’t do this alone…
    To bring them to us, transport costs €70 per dog. And that’s only the beginning — they will need medical care, check-ups, vaccinations, everything required to finally give them a healthy start.  That’s why we are asking for your help.
