Seville to Malaga, walking the streets of Spain
Here’s the story of yet another abandoned galgo; it’s typical of the hundreds across Spain, now dumped and abandoned by the hunters to whatever fate befalls them – the hunters have no mercy, they don’t care.
Polyana – a brindle galga walking the streets in Sevilla, lost and alone.
Thrown out as trash and unwanted purpose with a story to tell of being a galga in Spain. Beaten down and feeling low, she wanders and begs, sneaking food where she can. Empty bins may have spilt a crumb, gravel on the floor may just have a grain, its not much to keep going but it could ease the pain. -
Galgo brooches, Galgo headbands – raising funds for galgos and podencos
Want to dress up your jacket and advertise your love of galgos? A change from the metal brooches are these attractive characters from 112carlotagalgos. And what better publicity than that Cesar Millan’s rehab director wears one. There’s also a pretty headband for the fashion conscious younger generation. Inexpensive and make a charming gift too. Take a look.

Galgo Rey (the King) – Malaga now, have you room for me in your heart?
The nights are cold and the days are long
and the shivering I feel is all day long.
I ache inside and cry in pain
for the hunger inside just reigns and reigns.Life alone means no abuse,
something thats shows on my skin that’s loose.
I wear the trail of disgrace and pain,
and all along with nothing to gain. -
Malaga perrera – galgos on death row – starving – anyone room for them?
This is the harsh reality for dogs dumped in the municipal and private perreras – killing stations. It’s any dog which suffers like this, not just the galgos. But for the galgos, it’s simply that hunting is drawing to a close and the galgueros are dumping their dogs. These dogs are/were in the perrera El Paraiso at Malaga (some have already been killed). Vera describes.
