What a brilliant idea! Should be adopted everywhere.

Galgos don’t fly! Safe now with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert, Seville
This is the 4 metre high fence surrounding the refuge of Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert, Seville. On the morning of 4th August this galga had been thrown over it!! The little angel is positive for erlichia and anaplasma, doubtful to lehismania, has severe anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Some bastard came up with the brilliant idea of throwing her over, who is he! Nahia, as trhe galga has been called, has a fractured toe, leg wound and is in a lot of pain. And as it obvious, severely malnourished.
Now Nahia is located in the FBM hospital, her time of suffering has already happened,in the next few weeks she will only have to worry about recovery and rest.

Galga Zuki needs your help – safe with Scooby Medina
I will never understand the mentality of a creature (I won’t call them human being or man) who can let a little galga get in such a pitiful state. Here’s the story of Zuki, safe with Scooby Medina and an update. Please help Scooby if you can, they do such incredible work with hundreds of animals. She is managing to walk on her bandaged feet, such a sweet forgiving little galga.
And after reading her sad story, here’s a video to make you smile.

Health warning!
I recognise myself here! Certainly the house and garden are littered with dog toys – old shoes, squashed polythene bottles, chewed toys…Polar must live here!

Meet the Family 2016
As a change from appeals etc, I thought you might like an update on my Spanish family. In the photos here you will see my tiny Podenca Andaluz Bebe, now 13 years old, watching Polar sleeping. Then there’s dark brindle galgo Bracken (a failed foster from Galgos del Sol) who insists on sitting on whoever is on his favourite bed – he’s 7 years old now – in this case lovely Carmela, rescued from a perrera by L’Europe des Levriers. She also came as a foster but with serious trauma problems. It took us 2 1/2 years for her to realise that life was good, by which time it was too late to put her up for adoption. So she’s another failed foster, now 11 years old.
Finally there’s Polar – what can I say?! 3 years old now, adorable, loving, mischievous, very naughty. And loves empty plastic drinks bottles, as it’s what Jane Brian of Pepis Dog Refuge gives the pups to play with! He loves sleeping on his back, legs in the air, displaying his huge deep chest for rubbing! He’s doing very well with his damaged leg, loves to run and play with Bracken and Carmela.

Portuguese galga and puppies – rescued just in time
Galga Riti was rescued from the street so heavily pregnant that she gave birth soon after to two gorgeous puppies. Viddy and Viggy will need forever homes when they are old enough, vaccinations, microchips etc.
Lumi is another galgo pup lucky to have been rescued with his galga mom from poor conditions. You can read the story here and watch the videos of him at play with his sibling.
The only hope of a forever home for these lovelies is outside of Portugal. Please contact Dogs of Portugal if you can help.

Murcia Police working in Animal Welfare
A report on the ACTIN website about the work Spanish police are doing in Murcia, after having attended one of the DeAnimals courses on Animal Welfare. Would that this could extend across the whole of Spain.

Hairy Cuban looking for a family
I’ve always loved the long-haired galgos we’ve brought out of Spain on rescues, they are not very common. Here’s a lovely boy waiting and waiting for a forever home.
‘Cuban is a young Galgo. 2 years since we brought him off a hunter because he didn’t want to hunt. He’s unusual because he has long hair and people are not used to seeing this type of galgo… is that why no one has adopted him? He’s a dog without any kind of fear, sociable, compatible with dogs and cats and walks great on a leash. He will come with chip, vaccinated and neutered.

La Bienvenida, Ciudad Real – Stunning Galgo Hairo seeks forever home
My very first galga Karmel was from La Bienvenida refuge in Ciudad Real, 200km south of Madrid. I travelled down with the team of L’Europe des Levriers to collect her, along with a dozen more. I wrote about the trip for the Weekly Telegraph and that was also the birth of Galgo News.
This stunning boy is at La Bienvenida now. He’s Hairo, he was skeletal when rescued but is now looking much better. Here is his story.
Hairo arrivedon 30th Junhe at the shelter, it’s another waste more of the hunt among many so many. What can we say about him or his state that you can’t see in the video?
Needless to say, he’s too thin, you can see the spine and all the ribs, he looks like a sack of bones. He was full of ticks and very dirty, has some wounds but they are not serious. He soon had a nice bath and stayed on good and clean. The poor boy very much appreciated the attention and filled us with kisses. In spite of his state, is a young galgo, very affectionate and happy. He just wanted to eat and lots of cuddling. -
Seville – cheap accommodation available in the campo
Rosario de la Guia tells the story of this rescue – an all too common one about an abandoned galga who gives birth to pups.
Look at what we did to rescue this galga and her pups. In the field in a few bushes hidden. For 3 days carrying food and water 3 times a day. We caught them as we couldn’t leave them to die of a heat stroke. We found an urgent foster placing but we need to welcome them also for adoptions for when they stop suckling. They are in Seville. There is an adoption contract and follow up.
