This URGENT appeal just arrived from Paul and April Carrier.
‘Oh dear, here we go again…..I have a bad feeling about the coming months, there just seems to be no end to the requests for help.
There is a man in El Cuervo who has 120 dogs (60 of them, galgos),

Galgo News is 1 year old! How time flies when you’re immersed in a project! It was actually yesterday to the date, 28/11/2007, but I was so involved with another rescue of galgos from Spain to France (how many more can France adopt?) that I didn’t have time to say ‘Happy Birthday Galgo News’ until last night, when we did pause to raise a glass and drink to another year of working with galgo and podenco rescue associations and Spanish refuges and volunteers to publicise the plight of these fantastic dogs, and work towards persuading the Spanish to introduce laws to ban hunting with these dogs, and control and limit their indiscriminate breeding, maltreatment and abandonment.
Thank you, everyone, for your support. Keep reading Galgo News and spreading the word.
And now you can find us on Twitter too. http://twitter.com/galgonews
It’s amazing where contact via the Internet leads me, reaching out around the world to publicise the plight of the galgos and podencos, the Spanish hunting dogs.
Take heart, animal lovers in the Canary Islands, here is an introduction to SARA Lanzarote, for those of you who do not already know about it.
HELP US TO HELP THEM
And here’s what Lynne, a member of the executive committee and British co-ordinator for the SARA animal shelter on Lanzarote has to say.
For those of you who would like to follow Julie Costello’s blog about her trip to help at the Scooby Medina refuge in Spain, here is the link. http://www.gaagalgos.blogspot.com/
At times I feel very humble, when amazing things develope from Galgo News. Just one weblog reaching out into the world, amongst how many million others? And yet, it only takes a few key words in a search engine, up pops Galgo News, an email arrives in my Inbox, and I type a few lines in reply.
I received this email today, as a result of one which came to me through Galgo News on just such a route as described above.
This is a message from a contact in the USA, but this man could equally make enquiries of any of the UK or European rescue associations.
I’m posting to alert those of you who work in adoption groups to beware of an inquiry from a man in Canada who is trying to adopt a greyhound for potentially racing in India. I answer emails for Greyhound Friends here in MA, and I’ve received several emails from this person wanting to adopt from us.
Virginie Labat, a volunteer with Passion Levriers, recently spent a week in Spain.
This is her report.
‘I needed time to know what I was going to tell you about my trip of 1 week in Extramadura, Spain.
I am a French volunteer of Passion Levriers in France. All my best friends are in Spain, and during my holiday, I went to visit them.
Levriers in Danger are appealing for medicines and coats for the refuges in Spain.
They would also like help from anyone who can help with transporting galgos and podencos from Spain to France.
El refugio del Burrito are celebrating the 2nd “fiesta de Galgos” and you, your beloved 4 legged friends, family and contacts are all invited.
It will be another GREAT day for everyone to be together for the love galgos and to highlight their desperate plight.
Its an amazing way to support their plight and huge numbers of people are needed. The galgos need you, so lets hope to see you there.
