Update on galga Galena with Asociacion Somos Galgos

Galena had a good night. Wound is progressing quite nicely. If she continues like this, we can operate on her. The traumatologist told us she’s going to have to have a transplant and do reconstruction. Just touched the gasket and no damage to the jaw.

So far we have 400€ of expenses but we’ve only just begun.

We’ll keep telling you about the evolution of this little one.

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

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….

Galga Ana – abandoned and pregnant – a happy ending

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.

The greyhound racing industry leaves a long trail of forgotten lives behind bars. These dogs can’t speak for themselves, which means it’s up to us to be their voice.

Join us in Manchester for the **Century of Suffering – March For The Murdered Million** and demand an end to the cruelty.

📍 **Where:** All Saints Park, Manchester

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.

7 more galgos arrive at Galgos Rescue Almeria

Even though hunting with hounds in Spain ended at the end of January, the shelters are still overwhelmed with dogs abandoned and dumped in perreras.

No sooner has space been made in shelters because galgos have left for their forever homes but the space is soon filled by more innocent souls dumped by the galgueros. The pressure never stops.
