    The galgueros fight back against the rescue associations which go into schools discouraging hunting.

    The Extreme Hunting Federation has decided to bring its PROADES program ‘Hunting and Nature’ to 27 schools in the community, which has generated concerns about the education being given to young people.

  • Galga x Ika – a scared baby seeking an understanding forever home

    Ika 3 3035 350
    Ika is looking for a home where she feels safe and loved!

    Ika is a beautiful galga cross about 1 year old, medium in size and a soul full of cuteness. She was found abandoned in a field, scared and without knowing who to trust. She’s a *very scared* puppy, but with patience and love, she’s taking baby steps. What’s clear is that he loves the company of other animals: she gets along great with dogs and also cats, so it would be ideal for a home with more furry companions.

    We are looking for a peaceful and patient family for her, who respects her rhythm and gives her the security she needs to come out of her shell and show how sweet, good and adorable she really is. Delivered vaccinated, dewormed, chipped, sterilized and blood tested.

    If you think you can give Ika the chance she so deserves, contact us at (Spain 0034) 674 476 810

    Help her find the home where she can be happy!
