  • Galga Zoe, left for dead – now in her forever home

    Charl Zoe 250Tribute to Zoe – by Charlotte del Rio

    Dear Sr.Galguero

    I was sitting here with my thoughts, looking back over time.
    Just a mere girl I was at your feet, the foot that booted me regularly. I wondered when the day would be, when I’d be free from the shame I felt.

    I wandered by your side Sr.Galguero as a good galga should and on many occasion I know you thought you broke me. You almost did!

    At just a year old I’d been born into hell, I knew nothing more than the life I led. Shamed, doomed, and hollow. Fear striking me at every move. How I lived on my nerves .. Oh how I did.

  • Portugal – too late for Noah

    Portugal Noah ticks 250This galgo, barely alive, was thrown over the fence to Cantinho do Animals de Beja, Portugal. He was in a corner when the volunteers arrived. As you can see, he was completely emaciated and covered in ticks. They took him straight to the vet. Sadly Noah did not make it.

    Who can keep a dog till it gets in this condition? I’ll never understand.
