  • Plataforma NAC fighting for the hunting dogs of Spain and Spanish Islands

    Plataforma NAC400 8 2024
    PerrosDeCasaNoDeCaza

    A hunting dog’s life is far from ideal. Despite the heroic image some associate with them, these animals often face a reality full of deprivation, danger and suffering. At the end of their “useful life,” many hunting dogs are abandoned, sacrificed, or sold to other hunters, perpetuating a cycle of suffering.

    Sadly and with great powerlessness we see it daily.

    It is time to recognize that these animals are sentient beings who deserve dignity and respect. We need to keep fighting to demand laws that protect them and raise awareness in society about the cruelty of hunting.

  • Galgo Bono with Galgos 112 – waiting 3 years for a forever home

    This sweet galgo arrived as a puppy with his brother, at Galgos 112 shelter.

    ‘Bono came to us along with his brother Nico. Nico had pierced eye and immediately went to a foster home to recover, but poor Bono is still waiting and it’s been three years since he’s been in the residence. We don’t understand what happens to him so unlucky and no one noticed him.

    When Bono arrived he was a puppy who was barely a year old, he was an active and playful young man, he didn’t know how to walk on a leash and people were scared of him, but that was behind him. Now, even though he doesn’t like strangers much, when he already knows you, he looks for you asking for cuddles, he loves cuddling. He’s a big strong greyhound, healthy. Also gets along very well with other dogs male and female.

    If you want to help and adopt Bono, write to info@galgos112.com and tell us your town and a contact phone number. Could also be fostered until his furever family arrives.

    Hopefully, among all of us we can help this big guy and that he will soon be able to enjoy a family.

  • ‘Training Galgos the Spanish way’!!

    From SOS Galgos.

    ‘FENPCA FORMALIZES COMPLAINT BEFORE THE EXCMO. CITY HALL OF THE MAYOR OF THE RIO (SEVILLA)!!
    ️
    This past Tuesday one of our members observed how a motorcycle driver was driving with four dogs tied up, so he didn’t hesitate to record the situation and report this person for his behavior.

    Subsequently, our legal team prepared and submitted the relevant administrative complaint for violations of the animal protection law, as well as traffic rules.

    We hope this Exmo. City Council initiates the relevant sanctioning files to prevent this type of behavior from continuing to occur on this land.

    We will never stop in our fight to give voice to the voiceless.

  • Galga Rosi hoping for a forever home

    SOS Galgos Rosi 1 400
    From SOS Galgos

    Rosi’s story starts sooner than we can tell you. Rosi appeared on the estate of a peasant in Segrià (Lérida). The man was able to pick her up and take her to the city hall. She was missing a piece of her tongue, she had no microchip, no sort of identification, and after stopping by the shelter, we asked for help so that she didn’t end up in a tiny, forgotten cage.

    She is about three years old, she is already dewormed, vaccinated and the results of her analysis are good. We don’t know anything about his past and he’s only been in the shelter SOS Galgos school for a day but he has a good character and doesn’t seem to have many fears. Welcome Rosi!

  • Galgos Felices Fundacion – galga Soraya with badly injured leg

    From Galgos Felices Fundacion

    This beauty is Soraya, we went to pick her up in Zaragoza. And so we found her, with a fracture badly healed because she was not taken to the vet. Of course we didn’t care and we brought her in, now we’ve had our first visit to the vet and she has to intervene so she can support her paw and be pain free. And when it’s okay, get her a real family. If you want to help Soraya, bizum: 09207 Soraya.

  • The sadness of a rescued galgo in Argentina

    Sad galgo 1a 400 7 2024
    Adopciones Rosario

    ‘He’s dying, he needs a family urgently because sadness is killing him.

    The story is long to tell it all, a protector of Casilda is moving and I joined (please help, the reviews do not add up and there is no time)

    He and his kennel mate were taken to a daycare, the black had trouble adjusting to other dogs and was reintegrated to the shelter.

    He was already tested and seen by the vet, no illnesses have been detected at the moment, it is clear that he can’t stay there and it is very important a place next to his partner ideally or by a full family to contain him while he is mourning.

    Stopped eating and he’s dying, he needs out asap. If you can help write to me 341 5501539

    I think this is in Argentina
