    From Rocio Castillo Gonzalez

    ‘Glory, a mix galga-podenca, Small-medium size (12 kg)

    One year she has been at the Podencos Y Mas -Malaga- shelter, this princess is waiting for you to look at such a beauty. She’s our top model… but still no one has given her a chance yet.

    She’s 2 years old and was rescued at just 1 years old from a Noe syndrome in Huelva. Came in a lot of fear and full of bugs outside and inside.

    Now she’s a cute doll, healthy and full of love and happiness to give whoever is lucky enough to give her a good home.
    Can you help us so Gloria can write her happy ending?

    It’s time for you, isn’t it, Glory?

  • Ann’s Canine Care – how it all began

    How it all began, rescuing galgos

    In 2014 I was a foster for a well known local rescue, who had been asked if we could get 3 galgos out of the pound for a UK rescue.

    I’d never looked after a galgo before so I did a post asking for fosters. Two ladies stepped up so I offered to foster the 3rd, with one of the ladies being back up for me as I had a house full of little fosters.

    Poor Charlie though couldn’t go. Her leg had to heal before her spay so her transport was put on hold. Charlie was finally ready to go, transport booked, and adoption completed for the Thursday. On the Sunday before I had a phone call to say that the adopter had accepted a full time job and didn’t like to say. Well the adoption was cancelled because the rescue didn’t want her left home alone all day, and with no provision for her to be taken out. I was asked if I would like to adopt Charlie and, immediately said yes. She went to the protests in Malaga and was as good as gold. She was also great with the little fosters, and mothered them.

  • Sago Palm – poisonous to dogs

    Sago Palm 1 400 11 2020
    From a Veterinary Clinic.

    ‘Please help us spread the word about this. We are seeing more and more Sago Palm’s for sale as house plants. We were very disappointed to see that the Sago Palm plants in some stores still have no warning label. These plants are very toxic to pets. It takes a very small dose to cause liver failure. Many dogs don’t survive, even with treatment. We took the picture on the left at Home Depot (warning tag). Walmart in the US are also selling them and none of the Sago’s at Walmart had warning tags. These have also been seen at Target and Ikea.

    Familiarize yourself with its distinctive appearance, because often they are just called “palm plants” (technically they are not palms, but cycads) or not labeled at all.

    Edited to ad: The seeds are the most toxic part of the plant, but these small versions usually are not big enough to produce seeds. However, the entire plant is toxic, so please be careful.’

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – please help build quarantine kennels

    Galgo’s Rescue Almeria appeal

    It’s necessary to separate new abandoned dogs from the ones who are already saved. It’s important for new arrivals to stay for 2 weeks in a separate place so they can recover and be vaccinated. We already raised an amount for all the materials for one kennel ( concrete, stones, cement, floor- and wall tiles, iron works, roof, …..). So all help to build the second one will be welcome .

    See a plan of the kennels and donate through Gofundme on this weblink.

    Acorns are poisonous…often meadows are surrounded by acorns and if horses eat enough, they suffer. I didn’t know that some dogs might also eat acorns until I read this article.
