Holidays in Toledo – hotels in Toledo……
You may remember Caramelo, dying underneath a tree in a village near Toledo. Rescued by Baas Galgo and now transforming into the beautiful galgo he is. This is another one found in the same village outside Toledo. He’s been named Sugus. Here’s what Baas Galgo say.
‘Cursed is the man who has deny you his support during the days that you are in these conditions. Leticia has stopped the car and has picked you up, you were walking this morning under a downpour, you were shivering, frightened, killed by the pain, wandering aimlessly…….. bastard who threw you away!

Hounding Misery part 3 – Nano Calvo
Here is the third part of the articles written by Nano Calvo. Link here for part 2 and part 1 . A couple of points – running dogs from motor vehicles is again law in Andalucia – the Junta voted to reinstate it in 2011. The trainer also displays the arrogance of the hunting and racing fraternity – the unwanted dogs will be adopted in other countries! Still these people refuse to deal with the issue of overbreeding and mass abandonment. Beautiful photos by Nano Calvo.

Sick and starving on the streets of Seville –
Little Nana, a tiny galga pup, was found in this miserable state near Seville. She has very severe sarcoptic mange, totally anaemic, high fever and covered with infected wounds all over her little body…. GLORIA an animal lover asked Pro-Galgo for help and they redirected her to their friend and collaborator, vet FATIMA in Seville. Little NANA is on a drip, will have a blood transfusion from another galgo and will stay at least overnight in the clinic. Barely 6 months old, she is fighting for her life. Everyone hopes she will make it. If you can donate to her vet fees, please contact Pro-Galgo.

Accommodation in Madrid – any room available?
Look at this beautiful face, those trusting eyes. This is Akaru, 8 yrs old. His hunter is going to take him to the perrera to be killed, because he’s got younger dogs now. What a betrayal. Akaru is one of 4 galgos in Madrid belonging to this hunter; he will take them all to the perrera to be killed, unless anyone can take them. Contact is vanessa.mascoteros@gmail.com

Asociacion Baas Galgo – denouncing the hunters – how you can help
Sandra Baas of Asociacion Baas Galgo is not afraid of taking on the hunters through the Spanish courts. Each case of animal cruelty is recorded when she and her team make a denuncia in the area where it happens. This is the latest case, in the hellhole of Toledo, and Sandra is appealing to everyone to get in touch with her with similar examples of the hunters’ cruelty, to enable her to build a solid file.
