Sighthounds for Life Auction for 112carlotagalgos – ends 10 November
Here’s the latest Sighthounds for Life auction. There are dozens of fabulous items, please have a look and get bidding. All proceeds to 112carlotagalgos.
In the last couple of months galgos have arrived at the finca desperately needing expensive operations and medical treatment. First there was Dante needing a leg operation; then Happy with no fur and swollen legs – a serious case of mange; then Kenya arrived with a deformed foreleg which previous operations had not repaired. Vet bills for these hounds alone run into four figures.
Add to that feeding all the dogs, microchip and vaccinations to prepare the dogs for adoption…money goes out faster than it comes in.

Accommodation in Valladolid – here’s the best place
This teeny weeny galgo puppy, only 6 weeks old was found abandoned in Valladolid. He, it´s a little boy, was totally alone in a filthy barn, full of shit and other garbage, no food and no water, very skinny and hungry as a horse, covered in fleas and without a clean place or a soft blanket to sleep on. Now he is in the Scooby Valladolid Residencia and if he survives, Cobie and team will try to help him grow into a big, strong healthy and happy sofa galgo! Unbelievable – how he came to be there. Thank goodness he is safe!

Pro-Galgo – another galgo saved
Another story of heartbreak for a little galgo, found in a 5m deep canyon. Rescuers had to climb down to rescue him and get him to safety. He had a bad hind leg fracture, open wound full of maggots, severe gangrene setting in. There was no chance to save his leg, it had to be amputated. He is now recovering slowly, his liver was also damaged due to the severe infection in his leg.
He has been named Marek.
