A message for Galgueros and Politicians from Galgos 112 after betraying the Spanish hunting dogs that they are not protected by the new law.
Look into their eyes, especially you inept politicians who have left them lying around and abandoned like cigarette butts.
To the Galgueros we tell them not to even approach them, to ask these soulless sub-human beings to look into the eyes of the dogs that they mistreat so much and would cause yet more pain to the poor dogs by their abandonment.
This galga is now safe with Galgos del Sol. The bastard galgueros claim to care for their dogs – if that’s the case, why are they abandoned in their tens of thousands every year at the end of hunting – many to end up in this state?
This happy galga is Nina, a young blind galga who so touched the hearts of her foster family that they adopted her.
On this weblink you can read about some of the special cases Galgos 112 dealt with last year.
From Galgos 112.
‘Last week we were asked to help Siena. She was found poorly in a dumpster, eating hard bread and surrounded by muck, quite thin, with ticks and fleas and with a tail wound.
But it’s not all going to be bad, the best thing about Siena is her character. Despite all that misery, she is a nice and sociable galga, when she sees you she wags her tail very happy and leaves with everyone. Her tests are good and as soon as she recovers she will be available for adoption.
We are still in need of foster homes. Siena is in residence with other galgos waiting for their chance, but would be much better off if they could recover in a home with a family.
If you can host Siena send your info, location and phone number to info@galgos112.com‘
Paul O’Grady died peacefully on 29th March 2023. He was a wonderful ambassador for Battersea Cats & Dogs Home, finding forever homes for many of the shelter’s residents through his TV Programme ‘For The Love of Dogs’. RIP lovely man, you will be sorely missed by so many.

When is abandoning your pet justified?
The answer is very simple: NEVER. A family member should never be dumped for no reasons and leaving them in a shelter is also ABANDONMENT.
If you have an illness, you or someone close to you take them to a residence for temporary care.
If the illness is serious and it’s going to prevent you from living with a pet, find a home from someone close to you so the separation is as less traumatic as possible.
If you get pregnant, you do not have to leave your cat no matter how much doctors say there are ways to prevent toxoplasmosis, demand your doctor first to do an analysis for if you have antibodies, which is most likely and otherwise, to give you some tips for living with your cats, like getting another member of your family to clean the tray.
2 years ago an elderly woman was attacked by ‘hunting dogs in a village in Salamanca. This is the report from the Judiciary who says the hunters have no case to answer!!

Recently we received a very special visit…
A group of young scouts came to our centre wanting to get to know our work and our dogs. 24 kids who were interested in their stories, in how we work, in the future that awaits them… Our companion had a great time with them, telling them the stories of many of our dogs, and did not stop to solve all the doubts that arose.
Curious little minds, but above all empathetic with the stories of abandonment and committed to the cause. Many of them already know that to help them, you should not buy, but adopt.
How nice it is to educate them in values and instill in them the respect for animals, so necessary nowadays!
Small, but with very big hearts!
Thank you for your visit!

Chincheta may lose her paw…
Until when? When will the mistreatment of these innocent beings stop?
A few days ago we were asked for help for her. Her story? The same as always: her former owner didn’t want her anymore and urgently wanted to get rid of her. We are up to our ears, with still almost 600 animals in the centre. With the bills of Buda, Simeon, Pipa and many other hospital patients still to be paid. But it was impossible to see her picture, her eyes and her gaze to say no….
Chincheta has arrived this very morning to our centre and our vets were surprised to see the fracture of her paw, because it is old and already ossified and however, Chincheta is a young dog, so she must have broken her paw when she was still a puppy and never had any medical attention…
Now our vets are faced with the usual problem: try to save her paw with surgery and months of rehabilitation, or take the hard decision to amputate if there is no solution. We are waiting for the assessment of our trusted traumatologist. Hopefully there are possibilities for her… Help us save Chincheta
Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.

From Galgos del Sol
We asked for help & you came to their rescue. 23 rescued last week & soon we’ll go back for the rest.
Galgueros had left them with open sores, some of which had the bone exposed.
4am start & 7pm finish. We can’t thank our supporters enough for making this happen.
