    GdS dumped in the trash 400 6 2023
    From Galgos del Sol

    ‘Another one lays in the trash not knowing if she will live or die. Galgos del Sol are there to help

    It is possible that the marks on the galgo’s back along the vertebrae are from the transport boxes the hunters use to move their dogs.

    She is safe now and receiving treatment.’

  • Advice – Canine Brucellosis

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    ‘Canine Brucellosis, this is relevant to anyone in the UK that has adopted a dog from overseas .. please read

    There have been a number of reports of some veterinary Clinics in the UK that any one that has brought a dog into the UK from overseas. They are now insisting it is tested for Brucellosis before they are willing to treat it .. I have attached a link below from an article from the British Veterinary Association recommending protocols ti be put in place ..

    This will also include breeders importing dogs and possibly people who travel overseas with their dogs..

    My concern is your dog needs emergency treatment and it is delayed until the blood results are back, it may be too late.
    Asking some of our adopters it seems that the private practices are not making this request but the bigger practices that are owned by companies are doing so. Even dogs that have been in the UK for a number of years with no symptoms.

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    ‘When you’re in the middle of it, you know that saving animals is a never ending story.

    Our help was asked to take care of this boy and now we have been able to welcome him, Gosbi, who was brought to our Rescue center in collaboration with Friends of Mazarrón Animals. Apart from an nasty old wound on his neck, he seems to be in reasonably good condition. Gosbi was immediately accepted and included in the pack.

  • Galga momma Georgia arrives at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Georgia finally arrived.

    It took some time and organisation but finally Georgia arrived at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria.
    She was picked up off the street heavily pregnant by a volunteer of Protectora Animales USKAR and then gave birth nearly straight away.

    Georgia and her little ones were taken care of by a host family so that mum and the little ones could be followed up.
    Our help was asked if we could take care of the mum once the little ones were old enough and no longer needed their mum.

    We like to thank everyone involved in her rescue.
