  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – and the galgos keep arriving!

    This poor galga was rescued, heavily pregnant, and arrived at the GRA shelter, not long after she’d given birth to 10 puppies! Here’s what Sandy says.

    ‘Fortunately, this mom was rescued in time so that she can give birth to her little ones in a clean environment. And especially now with this unbearable heat, her rescue came none too soon. Our help was requested to take her in and give her the necessary care. Soon after we’d agreed, we received news that it was time for this mom to bring her little ones into the world. In the meantime she has given birth and they have all arrived at our shelter.

    We ask for help/support to provide this family with the necessary care/nutrition/vaccination/blood tests etc’

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    For donations please:

    Thank you very much!’

    Besides beautiful girls, we also have stunning boys looking for a home. Like this happy boy, he loves cuddles and playing with the other dogs. He is not very big and walks good on the lead and is not scared at all. Chip: …3287.

    These 2 must be brothers because they look exactly the same, both so gorgeous and handsome.

  • Charl del Rio -112carlotagalgos – on crates for dogs

    Albacete perrera 400 2 May 2011 damitai2
    In all my 70+ years of living with dogs from puppies to old dogs, I have never felt the need to use a crate. But these days it’s become fashionable to use a crate if someone can’t train/control their dog. I think – well, human, how would you like to be shut in a cage?’ So this is a very informative article by Charl del Rio, founder of 112carlotagalgos in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga, on this very subject and why one shoule NEVER use a crate on a galgo or podenco.

    ‘IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    CRATES/TRANSPORTINES/BENCHES AND GALGOS

    Please remember galgos are not greyhounds and come from an entirely different background. Many a galgo has been rescued from a severely dark place and time in their life. Many many are rescued from dark small hovels, under ground and in some cases with pallets on the top.

  • Greyhounds In Need – lending a helping hand

    GIN perrera galga deformed leg 400
    Greyhounds In Need support several rescue associations in Spain, as detailed in their regular newsletters. However here’s a story of an appeal from a UK rescue to which they responded.

    ‘We recently were asked for our help from a small charity in Devon, Hearts 4 Dogs, who were raising funds to help 3 galgos. One, Roma, needed an urgent operation on her back leg. We were pleased to be able to offer some funding to Sue and her team and have just heard that Roma is recovering well from her operation and plans are being made to bring her, Trianna, and puppy Alma, to the UK in July.’

    From Hearts 4 Paws Dog Rescue

    ‘A few days ago Greyhounds In Need (GIN) were made aware of our need to raise emergency funds for Roma and her operation. They were also told that unfortunately because of lack of funding we were unable to take the two other galgos that were in the Perrera with her. They have now been taken on by another rescue , we are glad to say.

    GIN said they would like to help support us and we are happy to announce that because of their very generous donation along with the money we are raising we have managed to reserve two more precious souls to come over on the same transport as Roma.
    Let me introduce you to Trianna and baby Alma,found alone in the countryside, covered in tics and fleas and very hungry.

  • Galgo in poor condition – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    GRA 3 new ones 2 400 face
    From Sandy Galgoslover

    ‘The 3 newcomers have had a quiet night. Viru & Atila don’t look bad at first sight, but it doesn’t mean they each carry a backpack from their past. The oldest of the 3, Zeneque is in bad shape. His skin shows many bald spots and has a red rash probably as a result of staying/sleeping in a dirty unsanitary environment. We immediately started a treatment with a special ointment that serves to make the skin supple and healed.

    You can support one of these 3 by:
