Click on the link to read about the rescue of the Toledo 7 from the perrera, and their rehoming. Congratulations to Sandra Baas and the team for their effort.

How long has this poor old boy been wandering? It’s the beginning of September, the last hunting season finished 7 months ago and the next one is about to begin. And still throughout the summer the volunteers have been working to take galgos off the streets.

This old boy is nervous but since he appeared in this neighbourhood, 6km from Jumilla, on 25th August, food and water have been left out for him. Now these people are going away on holiday, who will take in this galgo? He has to have wet food because he cannot chew. He is very tired, does not go far. He is in grave danger of being taken by the gypsies again, suffering mistreatment.

Can anyone take him in?

He’s been named Perrete.

These are some of the lucky galgos, brought out of Spain this weekend to their forever homes in France. One had been rescued from a perrera, covered in wounds, but there is no doubt that her personality and confidence will blossom within a few weeks.

This is one of the not so lucky ones. Rescued from hanging, she had been in the refuge near Cordoba only 2 weeks when I visited at the beginning of June. She was terrified, a walking skeleton, bearing the horrendous burn marks from the cord around her neck. We arranged for her EU passport, with microchip and vaccinations in place, to be done as soon as possible.

Please can someone help Vainilla, a beautiful 3rd old galga in the perrera in Carceres. Her babies have been killed and,well, her expression says it all.

Let’s not forget that these deserving galgos Parchito and Cristal (starving and covered in mange) also need to have their veterinary care paid for. If you can help atall, however small the amount, please donate as requested in the message.

NB When I first received the story of Parchito, I was told he had been burned alive. I can only go on what I am told. 2 people have now written in to say he was not…………………..I leave you to look at his body and make your own mind up. Either way, he will need a lot of veterinary care, which will be expensive for the association.

Here’s the latest update on Gisela, bless her for being a fighter.

She is another example of these incredible survivors, like Kamal,who fight to survive against all odds. One can only admire their fortitude and courage, and support the amazing volunteers who guide them through the care needed to return them to health.

News about galgos adopted in Slovenia – through Greyhounds in Need.

Many of you will remember the story of Kamal, the amazing survivor of 11 years of hell in a Spanish refuge, rescued by Cristina, a volunteer with Perrikus, and rehomed in France. I am sad to report that he has died.

He spent the last year of his life experiencing regular meals, walks in the park, a comfy bed and a lot of love. At 15 years of age, and with many health problems caused by his 11 years of hell, he survived against all odds to what is a natural life span for a sighthound.

I am sure many of you will know how Cristina and Bea of EDL feel at the loss of such a special galgo, but also happy that he lived to experience the last year of his life as a happy hound.
