Chained to starve to death – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria
At the end of last week, we received a call for help that we simply could not ignore. What we found there touched us deeply…High up on a mountain, far away from everything and everyone, stood a ruin that could only be reached on foot. And there, from a distance, we caught a brief glimpse of him… a Galgo who had been abandoned and left to fend for himself.How is this even possible? How can anyone abandon a living, feeling soul in such a place, under such appalling conditions? A dog who depends on humans, yet was condemned by those very same humans to a life on a chain. -
Spanish hunting dogs need protection by law

Why are hunting dogs not included in the animal welfare law?
Dogs, who are sadly used for hunting, are not included in the animal welfare law because the hunting lobby has exerted strong political pressure to prevent them from having rights.In this way, they remain completely unprotected so that hunters can continue to use them as mere tools in their hunting practices. Why are millions of wild boars, roe deer, and rabbits raised annually to repopulate hunting grounds? Millions of species intended for hunting are raised annually in hunting farms so that hunters have enough prey to kill.These hunting farms carry significant risks and negative consequences for animals and the natural environment.An argument in favor of hunting is that it helps control populations of wild boars and rabbits.Hunting does not help control animal populations; on the contrary, it is the hunting industry itself that produces artificial overpopulations causing imbalance in wild populations. -

HUNTING DOGS IN THE LAW NOW!
Of more than 2000 investigated and detained for animal abuse between 2021 and 2023, none went to prison. This is what the parties in Congress allow.
This has to end! Hunting dogs must be protected by animal welfare law.

Galgos Felices Fundacion – galga hung by her leg – now safe
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. -

Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville – over 400 dogs need help
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…)
