Spanish Galgos Ulises, Maisey, Luna from El Paraiso – please donate to vet fees
More abandoned and rescued galgos……from the perrera, from the countryside, urbanizations……….they are being abandoned everywhere, and it is only November – still the middle of the Spanish hunting season! One of the galgas rescued from El Paraiso could be pregnant, so an urgent spaying operation has now been carried out. And Maisey, an abandoned injured galga – sadly her leg could not be saved, so she is yet another one with an amputation. And the vet fees need paying!
Ulises was a galgo who had been living rough for months, no one could get near him. Eventually he was so ill he could be caught. He has leishmania, ehrlichia, rickets, a skin condition, but he is a fighter, as are the other two…..he wants to live and experience a forever home.

Galga shot in the head – saved by the vet – the true Spain!
This galga has been shot in the head. I don’t know the story behind how she was found – I’m waiting for the details – but suffice to say she was still alive when taken to the vet, who at the time of my receiving the photo, was operating to save her.
The hunters in France, where I live, are lethal in more than one way! Around our home and land, their shooting days are Thursdays and Sundays. We keep our cat and dogs shut in the house on those days; the cat is shut in all day, much to her disgust; the dogs are only let out in the courtyard.

Greyhounds in Nood Belgium – helping the galgos
Please take time to read this news from Greyhounds in Nood Belgium, another group who work tirelessly with volunteers in Spain to help the galgos. Regular trips are made by the team to work in the refuges and bring back dogs for rehoming. You will be horrified to see, towards the end, pictures of two galgos, burned alive on wasteground in Madrid, discovered shortly after gitanos had moved out.
