  • Galgos Felices Fundacion – galga hung by her leg – now safe

    Video

    This is Vida  (Life). And today, finally, her name makes perfect sense. ✨
    We were given the news of a heartbreaking situation: someone, without a minimum of empathy, left her hanging by one of her legs for an entire night. That’s how they found her the next morning, injured and abandoned to her fate. 💔
    Her paw is badly damaged. The vet has confirmed that it’s most likely that she’ll have to have it amputated, but we’re going to exhaust all options to try to save her. And if that’s not possible, we’ll do exactly what’s best for her, so she can run again without pain.

  • Spanish hunter – banned from keeping dogs ignores and continues…

    🔴 A hunter convicted of the Cabra horror case, tried again for having animals despite being banned.
    The original case dates back to October 30, 2020, when Asociación Galgos del Sur, along with the Cabra Local Police and the Guardia Civil, rescued and confiscated 24 dogs, mostly mongrels and mutts, from the farm, which was dubbed the “farm of horrors.”
    The convicted individuals chained some of the animals to the farm’s waterless wells, left without food, surrounded by filth and the remains of other dogs that had died on the spot, and with no shelter to take refuge from the harsh weather conditions, relying solely on plastic bags and containers with metal edges.

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    I made a little movie of Ana’s story.  Her saving was only possible with lots of help from a few people.
    Now she can be a mum for all her babies and watch them grow up till they are old enough to go their own way.

  • Ex-racing galga – used, abused, injured – now safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Video

    Late week, our van headed to Los Gallardos to pick up a 2-year-old girl. She had been used for competitive racing, but due to injuries to her hind leg, she was no longer considered “useful.”  At the rescue center, she is now finally receiving the rest, care, and time she needs to recover. We will continue to monitor her progress closely and share more updates soon.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville – over 400 dogs need help

    Video

    WE NEED HELP. NOW MORE THAN EVER.   There are times when a protector doesn’t need applause.  Today we have over 400 animals in our care. Over 400 lives that depend entirely on us to eat, receive veterinary care and have a chance at a future.  Among them are more than 40 animals with complex and serious veterinary treatments. Injured, sick dogs, recovering from surgeries, animals needing daily medication, tests, income and constant care. They are added to our cats and many other cases that require continuous attention.

    The reality is we don’t have public aid.  We don’t receive grants to cover this work.  Everything we do, every rescue, every operation, every thoughtbag, every medicine, every life saved, exists because of the people who decide to help us.  Thanks to you guys. (more…)
