Millie was the victim of a hit and run accident on a Spanish road. Left unable to move, she was chucked over the armco at the side of the road and left to an unthinkable death.
Luckily she was spotted and taken to the Galgos del Sol where they have put her back together again and, amazingly, she is already walking.
I hope you can see these videos of her, on facebook and Instagram.

A hunter was going to slaughter this galga because she fractured a leg whilst hunting and so he decided to sacrifice it so as not to spend money. She has been rescued by Fundacion Animal Rescue of Madrid and has a fracture of the pelvis and radio and the operation exceeds €1500. She has been named Clara and she needs emergency surgery at the Veterinary Hospital. Will you help Clara with her operation With €10, €20, or whatever you can each, we can change Clara’s life.

Although this sad story is about a podenco, it is also about a situation that could happen to a galgo. Sharing the story written by Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

‘This is a long but important post and it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it. Paws on Hearts/Aguiproan Animal Rescue And Rehoming
As a rescuer, this is one of our greatest fears. Many rescues, including Paws on Hearts Animal Rescue and Rehoming, work tirelessly to ensure their dogs are safe, even after rehoming. A common practice is to dual-register microchips in both the adopter’s name and the rescue’s name. In theory, this system ensures that both parties must be consulted before a rescue dog is euthanised.
But tragically, this safeguard failed Mr. Bones. He is not the first rescue dog to be euthanised without a rescue’s knowledge or consent — and heartbreakingly, he won’t be the last unless change is made.

The rescuer didn’t arrive in time, his “owner” killed him with a blow, but nothing happens in Spain!
Is it impunity to kill an animal in cold blood? A few days ago a rescue group received a warning from the people who are at the Football Fields of Friendship in Palencia, there are 3 dogs wandering around the facilities. The rescuers get involved and manage to save two of the animals, the local police are notified and since one of the dogs has a microchip, the owner is notified.
Flooded shelter on 30 October.
Update 10/11/2024
We are forced to pause/stop the collection of physical donations. But we do have what is in our collection points at disposal
It is impossible to leave the collected goods in the shelter and the collection points are full of blankets, towels, bedding and cleaning items that we still need to collect. It is impossible for us to make a count of what there is, if there is more or less of what we will really need, anyway we are falling short and once we put it all in the shelter we realize we are wrong in this decision.
