The hung galgos of Fuensilada, Toledo – update on the court case
You may remember the case of the two galgos in Toledo who had been hung by their owner. Their microchips had not been removed and he was traced. Associacion Baas Galgo took him to court. Here is the update from Sandra Baas.
‘On October 9th, a court trial will take place at Juzgado n1 de lo Penal de Toledo for the man who murdered his two galgos by ways of hanging. Two years ago, the corpses of the two young dogs (one was 22 months old, the other was 5 years old) were found in the Fuensalida, Toledo location. The dogs had been hung and killed. One of the dogs, had a microchip which identified their owner, who confessed to the massacre and told the judge that he was not aware that hanging his dogs was considered illegal and that he did so because they were deemed “ineffective” since they were not successful hunting dogs.

Spanish Galgo puppy Silencio – Galgos del Sur, Cordoba, to the rescue
This poor little soul is with Galgos del Sur. Here is his story.
‘We were given notice that a galguito was under a car in a marginal area of Cordoba. When we got there, the galguito was losing fluids from many parts of his body and we carried him to our car and went directly to the vet hospital.
His diagnosis is not serious, but the care and hospitalization he needs will be expensive.His body is full of all kinds of parasites, has anaplasma, low hematocrit, has almost no power to move and is malnourished and dehydrated. We’ve called him Silence, because he crawled under the car to die in silence. The photos say it all.

DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! Please sponsor him
DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! WHY?
To raise funds for Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville.
When? TUESDAY, 23rd JULY 2013
Where? LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
He needs to raise 6,000 euros.
It will cost 5,000 euros to fence an area of land where the refuge can relocate to the top of the hill above the house and kennels, which have been engulfed in mud slides over winter. The house is now declared unsafe to live in.
It will cost 1,000 euros to buy a new electricity generator – their last one died and they are struggling. They can’t use power tools and the refuge does not have sufficient electricity for the day to day running of the refuge. They have a small generator which powers some of the lights at night. At the moment, the nights are light – what will happen in winter with short days and long dark nights?

Polar’s Diary – settling in
Polar is settling in well. His favourite buddy is Bracken, they play together and Bracken seems to understand that he has to be a bit gentle with the baby! Especially Polar gets frustrated that he can’t walk the meadows with David, Floyd and Bracken – the grass is too long for a little boy with a bad leg. After they cut the hay – when the rain stops! – we’ll take him. There are no rugs on the floors, he doesn’t quite understand that piddles and poos are done outside! And yesterday he ran off with a crucial piece of the new swing hammock David was putting together for me! He’s not saying where he’s hidden it!
