  • Update from El Albergue on galga dumped in a rubbish bin

    Update on the galgo dumped in a rubbish bin. ‘It is a female galga, and is very serious, especially from a strong blow to the head but still alive. We are waiting to see how it evolves and will soon need a CT scan (scanner) of the head. She is now hospitalized at a veterinary clinic. Please, if you know who wants to help with veterinary expenses let us know, because in our humble association we can do no more, but the cases that come to us are so desperate that we can not ignore them and look the other way. A hug and thank you very much for your interest.’

  • Dying in Seville, save galgo lives in Seville

    Seville Loli FELI_Y~4 190 Spain, how proud and arrogant are your Royal House, your politicians! You turn your eyes away from the facts of life in your country. You acclaim your historic churches, cities, olympic villages. And yet you ignore the struggles for life which go on along your streets, in the countryside, stories which the world reads, pictures it sees on the Internet. You leave it to the volunteers who care, who pick up the detritus discarded by your hunters, ignored by those who close their eyes and walk by. Here is one such case, Loli tells it in her own words….

    ‘Abandoned galgos and puppies

  • Baas Galgo to court today against hunter who hung 3 galgos

    Keep fingers and everything crossed today, 13th April 2011, as Baas Galgo have their first Court appointment against the man who hung his 3 galgos. Pray that the court officials, judge etc, are not hunters!

    Also, look at these fabulous photos of Nicolas and Kafir. Nicolas was rescued from near death last Christmas Eve, Kafir had a wire round his leg, he had tried to chew his leg off! Both are with Cristina de Luna in Madrid. Amazing wonderful photos. I’d just say here that anyone who thinks a 3-legged galgo can’t run, eat your words!
