Mary has now been bathed, wormed, flea treatment, ticks removed, and taken to the vet – age estimated just 5-6 months old. See how tiny she is, sitting next to the laundry basket! Not surprisingly, she has no microchip. She has tested negative for leishmania, just waiting for the results for ehrlichia and filaria. These should be back in a couple of days, and then she will be vaccinated etc. Once this has been done, she will go to the kennels with Dana.

Update on Podenca Mary and introducing Galga Dana

Mary, a young podenca rescued in Alhaurin, Spain, desperately needing help
A picture of sheer unadulterated terror in the eyes of this little dog! Charl del Rio found her at a petrol station, lost, terrified, hungry. She managed to catch her, called her Mary as she is like a little lamb, and now tells the story.
‘I went to visit the galgo Charlie after his castration, and on the way home I stopped at the petrol station in Alhaurin, where I found this little lost soul, a baby podenco which looks like a little fox, COVERED in pinchy thorns… it was late, I got to the petrol station and thought ill put petrol in the car. I stopped walking and she came up behind me. At a distance I thought she was older than she was, but I then could see she was just a baby.

Pro-Galgo urgently need help – please donate
Does this break your heart or what? To see a beautiful affectionate loving galgo in this state! Luckily Pro-Galgo has come to his rescue. You can read his story and that of another galgo, plus a little Yorkie (whose owner died) on their website.
Pro-Galgo still has 5 of the 28 Jerez galgos in kennels, which costs, and now they have vet bills for these three dogs. They are out of funds. Please, if you can contribute towards any of these costs – 700 euros will cover the fees for microchipping, vaccination, castration – and a dental job on the Yorkie – donate through their website. However small the amount – even £10 or $10 or 10 euros – it will be greatly appreciated.

Podenca Maria, injured and surviving on the streets of Seville
This little podenca is Maria, who was abandoned and has lived most of her life on the streets of a village near to Seville, too terrified to be caught. Searching for food amongst rubbish, dodging vehicles on the road, bearing puppies.
She was finally captured last month by an association ARCA, along with her 3 puppies. She has been hit twice by vehicles and has suffered a compression of the spinal cord which has resulted in a loss of feeling, and poor movement.

Plea from an abandoned dog – two beautiful poems
Here are two very moving poems sent to me by a reader of Galgo News, authors are unknown.
Dear God please send me somebody who’ll
care!I’m tired of running, I’m sick with despair.
My body is aching, it’s so racked with pain.
And Dear God I pray as I run in the rain,That someone will love me and give me a home.
A warm cozy bed I can call my own
My last owner neglected me and chased me away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray. -
Oco, podenco saved from the streets of Spain, waiting for a forever home
Please could anybody offer a forever home to this adorable podenco, currently in foster in southern France.
Oco was found on the streets in Spain with long curly claws. His only friend was a cat and an abandoned galga (Spanish greyhound). His owner didn’t care about him and pretended he’d given him to a friend.

Galgo News Stands Neutral as far as the World Cup goes!
Personally, as a Brit, the English football team were a joke. That’s nothing new. We introduced football, cricket, tennis, golf to the world. Whatever we introduce, we then are the losers. Andy Murray put up a good show in tennis, but the footballers – and when you consider what these males are paid????!!! – were pathetic. And why? Because there are so many foreign footballers in the UK football teams that the English team manager can’t find enough decent English players. I could go on further, but I won’t.
Just to say that I support neither Holland nor Spain in the World Cup final. Why? Well, Holland has taken so many rescued galgos to its hearts and homes, but Spain is the home of the galgo, and I could never abandon support – even in the World Cup – for the amazing volunteers who work to rescue, and give shelter to, and rehome abroad, these beautiful innocents who suffer so at the hands of the bastard galgueros.
So, Galgo News stands neutral. But hope you enjoyed the photos and comments from galgos in Holland and Spain!
