Help, please, with this case. Another galga on the streets of Toledo, abandoned, difficult to rescue, but they are not giving up.
She is only about 8 months, with a male hanging around…. more babies if she comes into season.

Walking along Avenida de San Luis (Barrio de Hortaleza Colinda con El Barrio de La Uva), Madrid, Rita, as she is called, got scared suddenly and ran off. Her owner looked for her for hours but to no avail.
She is a galga who is 3 and a half, has a chip and very sociable. She was adopted as a pup.
She has a leather collar (galguero type) and has an anti parasite collar. If you see her PLEASE contact below. PLEASE forward the information or put up posters, anything to help.
The fear is she was near a gypsy area. The family are desperate, as you can imagine.

After the diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceous (PF) a couple of weeks ago, my vet has been researching the best treatment for Karmel.
Because of the serious effects on her body, the dose of Megasolone was doubled, to knock the PF on the head!
She has been bathed in special shampoo, which has got rid of the loose dead hair, and her skin is now not such a bright pink.
She now has weekly visits to the vet, to monitor her condition.
Another galgo who suffered on the streets before she was able to be caught.
Two damaged feet, but the volunteers refused to ‘throw the towel in’.
It has taken months for her injuries to be treated and to heal, but these pictures show that she amazingly she is able to enjoy life with only two feet.

We have another cruelty case we want to help,
Aixa (pronaounced Aisha) a poor elderly podenca andaluz (Andalusian warren hound) was fed by animal lovers for several months already and one day, the poor dog disappeared for a few days and came back with one front paw cut off.
This podenca was rescued about a year ago from a wall she had been attached to, her neck all cut and raw.
She was in a shocking state but adopted by her new family. She has escaped, or been stolen. in the Valencia/Alicante area which covers a wide range.
She is chipped, and has a collar but no tag, it’s a Spanish number. They are beside themselves, they have now put posters up and have been everywhere… after her cruel beginning pray she has not fallen ‘prey’ to some hunter.
Not now its almost hunting time and she shudders at gun shots. She sure looks a beauty on the photo now though… thanks.
Telephone Spain 965515669 if you find her.
Hundreds of the galgos which are rescued and rehomed from Spain are young dogs. But there are some who manage to survive their lives of hell until they are 7 or 8 years old.
They carry the scars, maybe even more of a reason to give them a chance of what life can be like. We’ve read the amazing story of Kamal who survived a life of utter hell for 11 years, in a refuge of all places!
Virginie Labat, a volunteer with Passion Levriers, tells the story of Saki, a 10 year old Spanish galgo, who was on death row in a municipal compound in Pamlona.
Please forward to all contacts you have, mainly in the Girona area.

I have received this message from a contact on the Costa Brava:
“I have found a collie that, obviously, has had owner and had to escape frightened by the firecrackers of San Juan; the dates agree at the moment that he appeared (July 5th).
Yesterday, with the storm he was completely frightened. He obeys all the orders in English and that makes me think that he belongs to foreigners who were in holidays in Lloret by San Juan and they lost him then.
As per his behaviour as much in the car, as in city and house he is a customary dog to life in family.
Could you please forward this case to all your contacts abroad? Perhaps we can find his family, who knows? He does not have chip, or necklace, but that does not mean that they have thrown him. I would like to disclose this case in: Germany – UK – Belgium – Holland – France.
Thank you very much!”
If you have lost him, or know who he belongs to, please email L’Europe des Levriers or Charl.
