  • Chained galga starving to death – now fighting to live

    Charl Adina carrying 250 12 2013This is galga Adina – chained up, no food, no water, left to starve to death. Rescued and taken immediately to the vet and kept in the clinic for a few days to monitor. Now she is safe with 112carlotagalgos. Charl tells the story – briefly

    ‘I now introduce you to Princess Adina!

    Survival is her wish. Her longing to live through the darker days held her… brought her to this.. home.

    At the moment we’re not testing her .. everything seems to be working ok for the moment. Bowels and urine. But she will be watched. Tests of the usual would only be false at this time. So recuperation is what she needs. Rest. Food. Rest. Food.

    She longed to live.. here she is. Welcome to finca 112 Carlotagalgos special girl.

    Embraced by chains.. you have been released. We have prayed for you. For strength to see a new day.. It’s yours to take now.. day by day. Little by little.. you will see your forever.’

    Vet fees are already mounting, plus special food costs – please donate by paypal to comdelrio@hotmail.com.

    Bombero and Cremo 1 17 01 2011 250 The perreras in Spain are full to bursting with abandoned dogs, especially galgos now that the hunting season is drawing to a close. Despite all the ones rescued from Jerez perrera, Cadiz, there are still more than a couple of dozen there, awaiting a painful death. At El Paraiso perrera, they are feeding the galgos, hoping someone will rescue them. Several have been taken to foster homes already, and two more were taken out last weekend. White ones, which were once regarded as THE most important galgo to the Spanish aristocracy.

    ‘The galga we have called Twiggy was found at Sado park hotel, Mollina, Malaga. She is 18mth old with a fantastic nature. She had her leg broken so it made it easier to shoot her with an air rifle, one pellet is deep into her stomach which cannot be removed as as an operation is too dangerous. The two pellets in her leg have been removed though the op has left a very large hole in her back leg. We are told she may never walk properly again.
