GalgoConnectionSpain – help save Draco, a Jerez killing station survivor
Jerez has two perreras, one municipal and one privately owned. This winter it has been difficult to keep up with the numbers of dogs in these places, especially galgos and some podencos. I haven’t been able to post them all on GN, but suffice to say that a few dozen have been taken out by rescue associations, before being killed. They range in age from a 5 month old podenca (Angela) to 1 and 2 year olds up to the mama breeding machines, 7 years upwards. Some of them are negative to diseases, others develope them after rescue and some are at the stage of simply wanting to give up on life.
Draco is one poor boy, thin, sick and with a body covered in scars.

Galgo Ken, surviving and fighting his way back to health – thanks Galgos del Sol
Yesterday I linked to an update on Nicholas, a great galgo survivor. Today I give you an update on Ken, another brave soul fighting to regain his health after being hit from behind by a vehicle. He has now been operated on and the vet is happy that there is now feeling in Ken’s back legs, and he is not in pain. Galgos del Sol continue to work closely with the vet and Ken – but it’s costly both in time, emotion and vet fees. If you can help with vet fees, donate by credit card to UK bank or Paypal to tinasolera@hotmail.co.uk.

Spanish galgo Nicolas, wounded and dying on the street – Baas Galgo to the rescue
How did you spend Xmas and the New Year? Thousands of galgos spent theirs either dumped in a killing station waiting to die, or abandoned, searching for food and shelter. The Spanish volunteers didn’t have time off. This is the story of Nicolas, rescued from pain and death by Rachel and Silvia on Christmas Eve, supported by Baas Galgo. To see the video of him at the vet surgery, scroll down to the bottom of the story and click on the YouTube link. Please donate to his veterinary care. He has a foster home in Madrid where he will receive the best possible care to help his recovery.

Dulce Vita – a small-town dog from Southern Spain
Dulce is a podenca with a peculiar gait. Her front legs move like a trotter (French racehorse) and her hind legs move like a crab. She’s a happy little dog now, but she nearly died. -
Scuttle’s story
Otherwise known as Candy. She was nicknamed Scuttle because when she first arrived at April and Paul Carrier’s home at Rota, in Spain, her spine was deformed and curved, which made her move in a peculiar way. She had to mince with her back legs and looked like she needed to poop all the time.She was found wandering on a motorway in Sevilla, and had jumped straight into the open door of a car being driven by a Spanish couple who, luckily, had been able to stop and rescue her from almost certain death on the busy road – it was no accident she was there….she had been left there to die.
