Galga Gala – saved from a galguero murderer
Two pieces of news, which came up whilst I was stuck in the UK with hardly any computer contact.
Gala is a beautiful young galga found in a field in Andalucia with two deliberately badly broken legs – the left front and the left back – so she could not possibly get up and walk anywhere. Left by some bastard Spanish hunter to die a long and lingering and painful death. Luckily she was discovered and El Amparo took her to their vet where their vet operated on her to pin her legs back together again. Here are some before photos, and an incredible after video where she is walking with her legs splinted.

URGENT – Save the Cuenca dogs – email NOW – before 4 Jan if poss
Please join this campaign urgently, and ask friends and family to do the same.
As many of you might already know, the refuge of Arcoiris in Cuenca is going to be converted again in a Perrera, which means killing station. This Friday 5th January 2013 they are going to decide which company is going to manage the municipal pound, which at the moment is a protectora (rescue association). They have put the conditions in the contract so severe that no association for the welfare of the animals can enter.
The only thing at the moment we can do is to fill their inboxes with thousands of emails so that they will notice how many people are concerned about the welfare of these 400 dogs that are in the refuge now, and that will be sacrificed.

Thank you to sponsors of the Paris Marathon
Caroline Grebbell ran in appalling weather in the Paris Marathon and we asked for sponsors for her. Here she reports to all those who were kind enough to do so.
‘My run in Paris raised £750 so that has gone to Greyhounds in Need. Can you please thank everyone who donated from Galgo News for me. I was very touched by the “kindness of strangers.’
Greyhounds in Need sponsor rescued galgos in two or three shelters in Spain, and rehome some of them in the UK. Thank you from me to Caroline and everyone who sponsored.
