Galgos del Sol is a small association formed in October 2010 by Tina Solera, who had spent the previous few years saving galgos and podencos which ended up in Los Infiernos dog shelter. In the past 7 months GdS have rescued and rehomed 53 galgos and podencos. But as with all associations, they exist on donations and fundraising. Here are four of the latest galgos to be rescued – from the side of a motorway, in the middle of a lorry transport area, terrified loose on the campo. Vet fees are mounting, please donate if you can help them.

Update from El Albergue on galga dumped in a rubbish bin
Update on the galgo dumped in a rubbish bin. ‘It is a female galga, and is very serious, especially from a strong blow to the head but still alive. We are waiting to see how it evolves and will soon need a CT scan (scanner) of the head. She is now hospitalized at a veterinary clinic. Please, if you know who wants to help with veterinary expenses let us know, because in our humble association we can do no more, but the cases that come to us are so desperate that we can not ignore them and look the other way. A hug and thank you very much for your interest.’

Dumped in a rubbish bin in Seville, rescued by El Albergue – pray for him
I’m just one person sitting at my computer, trying to keep up with the news coming in from Spain and the Spanish Islands about galgos and podencos…..just this afternoon, whilst I took a couple of hours out to mow the lawn, 9 emails came in about galgos and podencos….on death row in killing stations in Seville, Merida, Cordoba, and on top of that there are the appeals from individuals about abandoned galgos in Malaga, Cadiz, elsewhere in Spain – can anyone in those areas help catch them? I do my best, but I can’t always post them all.
This story from a volunteer with the El Albergue asso sums up the galguero attitude to his dog.

immediately got up and they could see that she had cataracts on both eyes.
