Black is very beautiful – adopt a black galgo – Gandalf and Romero need a home
Black is beautiful. There is nothing more stunning that a shiny black coat, sparkling with good health, finished off with a patterned collar. These two black boys have been overlooked for long enough. They desperately need their forever homes.
Romero was abandoned as a pup with a badly injured infected leg. Fearful of humans, he was nursed back to health by Gaynor and is in foster with Lisa who is working wonders teaching him what it is like to be loved. Contact Tina at Galgos del Sol to offer him his forever home, he so deserves one.
Gandalf is also in foster, another black beauty overlooked in favour of others. He’s a happy dog and would make a fantastic companion, giving love for the rest of his life. Video of Gandalf. Contact Tina or Charl about him.Please give these two boys a chance.

Antena 3 TV News – the dark side of life for the galgo
This story in from Charl del Rio.
On the 2oth Febuary 2011 on Antena 3 News. A story hit the headlines about Galgueros.
Its a dark world for the Spanish Galgo no matter what, no matter where, in the hands of the hunter the galgo can become the hunted. We talk about theft and the dangers that can over come a galgo, but hitting the headlines is in favour of our 4 legged friend. However, what I saw just goes to show, it has only got the name of a hunting dog.

GalgoConnectionSpain – help save Draco, a Jerez killing station survivor
Jerez has two perreras, one municipal and one privately owned. This winter it has been difficult to keep up with the numbers of dogs in these places, especially galgos and some podencos. I haven’t been able to post them all on GN, but suffice to say that a few dozen have been taken out by rescue associations, before being killed. They range in age from a 5 month old podenca (Angela) to 1 and 2 year olds up to the mama breeding machines, 7 years upwards. Some of them are negative to diseases, others develope them after rescue and some are at the stage of simply wanting to give up on life.
Draco is one poor boy, thin, sick and with a body covered in scars.

Galgo Ken, surviving and fighting his way back to health – thanks Galgos del Sol
Yesterday I linked to an update on Nicholas, a great galgo survivor. Today I give you an update on Ken, another brave soul fighting to regain his health after being hit from behind by a vehicle. He has now been operated on and the vet is happy that there is now feeling in Ken’s back legs, and he is not in pain. Galgos del Sol continue to work closely with the vet and Ken – but it’s costly both in time, emotion and vet fees. If you can help with vet fees, donate by credit card to UK bank or Paypal to tinasolera@hotmail.co.uk.
