    GRA Machu 400 23 2 2021
    Machu In just 2 days Galgo’s Rescue Almeria collected all these unwanted galgos…thrown out by the galgueros…all young with many years ahead of them to live in happy forever homes. Contact Sandy Galgoslover is you would like to adopt one. And Sandy and John desperately need the funds to pay for all the blood tests and passports.

    Sandy tells the story.

    22/2/2021 – Today we collected these 3 Galgos at Maskota Clinica Veterinaria in Fuente Alamo. All 3 have already been dewormed and treated against fleas and ticks. Also a blood test has been done and all 3 are free of the Mediterranean diseases.
    Many thanks FMA to negotiate with the galgueros to hand them over. We can now start to make them ready for a new and better life.

    23/2/2021 – GRA was asked to help 3 galgos from Badajoz, 3 became 5 and finally 6 arrived.
    We already received a wonderful donation from Un Levriero per la Vita to cover part of the transport costs.
    We still need your help to cover the rest of the transport as also to cover their medical care ( chip / passport/ vaccinations / bloodtest / neutering /……)

    The same day these 2 new arrivals, two sisters Ariana & Victoria. They were handed over by a galguero from Jerez de la Frontera.
    We want to thank Kim for negotiating and getting them to safety.
    Next week they will get a complete checkup, blood tests, vaccinations, …….

  • Not good news for my galgo Polar

    Polar on chair 400
    Devastated today by my vet’s diagnosis of lumps on Polar’s neck…Lymphoma. Samples have been taken from the lumps on his neck and also one at his rear end. I should have the results in a couple of days as to the extent of the disease.

    I lost my lovely galga Sahara from cancer…

  • Galgo Faru – rescued from the galguero and now getting medication.

    GRA Faru 1 20 1 2021
    From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria

    ‘After negotiating for months, this gorgeous soul Faru finally came in our care the first of December. Thanks Tracey for finally convincing the hunter to let him go. His skin and coat were in a very poorly condition, bald spots everywhere, scars…as if Faru hadn’t suffered enough, he was also Leish positive and urgently needed the right treatment.

    Two months after being brought to safety we see a total different dog.

    In the meantime Faru has finished his treatment with milteforan and is under observation with the usual medication and special diet food to improve kidney function.’

  • Protectora Scooby – more galgos and podencos rescued – curses on the galgueros

    Scooby 1 3 2 2021 400
    In Scooby Medina!

    48 lives more safe! Last weekend we went to pick them up to Andalucía.

    Some of them have been given by their owners and others have been taken from the perreras.

    Some are so scared that they react when you approach them, others are sick and there are all ages, from puppies to grandpas.

    Where their owners, hunters, see them as a useless thing and a hindrance that the only thing that supposes them is an unnecessary financial expense, we see wonderful beings that the only thing they deserve is a dignified life, in a comfortable home and surrounded by love.

    Now they all have to pass a veterinary check and when they are ready we will present them to you, because we have to find responsible families for them.
