All too often, when bitches are abandoned, they come on heat and are covered by whatever male dogs get on their scent. They give birth and the litter can be a mixture of galgos and galgo mixes.
This is the story of one of those galgo mix puppies. Adopted from a Spanish shelter under the wings of Canispro, it’s a delightful tale of Rocki’s new life in Germany.

Here’s a lovely rehoming story – it’s amazing how rescued galgos cope with so many changes in their lives – different languages as they change countries, travelling hundreds of kilometres to new lives, flying across the Atlantic, then flying on again, across America!
Introducing Rocky and Marlo, rescued from Jerez killing station, cared for by Galgos Connection Spain, rehomed in the US.
Telma Shaw of GRIN says, ‘Here is the first picture of Rocky and Marlo, the Jerez boys that just arrived in the USA!!
Romero is another incredible galgo, abandoned as a puppy, severly ill and injured, terrified of humans, who found his way into the home and heart of an English couple in Murcia and has now joined his forever family.
This is the link to the original story of Romero with Gaynor, Tina and the creation of Galgos del Sol. His journey towards life as a companion dog continued with a move to Malaga and the home of Lisa, friend of Charl del Rio of 112carlota galgos AGPE, and Charl tells the story of his life with Lisa and animal family.
This is Ruso with his forever family in America. Ruso was discovered in Los Infiernos refuge in Murcia by Tina, a volunteer. Unbeknowst to her, he had lain for four or five days severely injured and in great pain, unable to stand, feed himself……..as soon as Tina discovered him, she took him out of the refuge, where the owners were intending to kill him, and through contact with Silvia in Valencia, he was transported to her centre for treatment by her vet and rehabilitation by Silvia. What a fantastic story, thanks to everyone involved, including Tina who prevented Los Infiernos from killing him, Silvia and her vet for his rehabilitation,to Greyt Friends, Inc., in Marietta GA who travelled to Spain to bring Ruso to the United States and fostered him until he was ready to move to his new home in Colorado and also GRIN. A happy ending for one deserving survivor of the annual massacre.
This is the latest photo of Ulises. Remember him? An abandoned galgo rescued from sickness and starvation by Tina of Galgos del Sol. Amongst his problems, including leishmania, he was suffering from an horrendous skin problem. He travelled to Silvia in Valencia, who has years of experience in caring for extremely sick and injured dogs. Poor boy, he had to have daily baths for several weeks, but gradually his head lifted and he got a wag in his tail.
After all the horrible photos, here’s one to make you chuckle! How many Spanish dogs can you get in one dog bed, all wearing their nighties? Well, there’s Carmela, then foster galga CR – we’re preparing her Pet Passport for UK entry, if anyone is interested, and then there’s little Podenca Andaluz Bebe.
3 Men in a Boat have nothing on these 3!!
Venancio is a galgo rescued in Spain, rehomed in Norway. Unfortunately he arrived with a problem which is going to be extremely costly to put right. Monette tells his story.
I´m writing you with an appeal on behalf of a newly adopted galgo from Spain and his loving family. Venancio arrived Norway december 2010, where a young couple have adopted him. Unfortunately, it appears now that the damage Venancio suffered just before his departure from Spain is so bad, that the vet in Norway has given the family only two choices, either to put Venancio to sleep or to have him operated, – an operation which there is no way the family can effort!
