Pro-Galgo – another galgo saved
Another story of heartbreak for a little galgo, found in a 5m deep canyon. Rescuers had to climb down to rescue him and get him to safety. He had a bad hind leg fracture, open wound full of maggots, severe gangrene setting in. There was no chance to save his leg, it had to be amputated. He is now recovering slowly, his liver was also damaged due to the severe infection in his leg.
He has been named Marek.
He is in the care of Pro-Galgo and the vet bills are over 500 euros. Every little helps. Please help them help Marek. Donations to pro-galgo@hotmail.com by paypal or email pro-galgo@hotmail.com for bank details

Update on Eboli – badly injured galga, rescued by El Refugio Kimba
Update on Eboli, rescued by El Refugio Kimba – badly injured on the road with part of a bumper embedded in her.
Eboli is much better, on Tuesday 15/10 she will go to the vet again so they can remove the plate in the broken leg and start working on the rehabilitation. She is a wonderful galgo, despite the pain that she has suffered, she has never been bad with anyone, even when taking her medication. She is treated twice daily to help her skin recover; she lost most of the skin on her leg which also became infected.
If you would like to help Eboli, here’s the link to the Refugio Kimba website. If my memory serves me right from when I was researching my galgo book, Kimba is the oldest animal shelter in Spain, originally set up to protect fauna and flora.

A letter to Senor Galguero…
To Senor Galguero, from Beryl Brennan
I woke up ANGRY this morning. And it’s YOUR fault.
Why?
I’m a writer; I write for newspapers, magazines, websites. I’d like to write more books – I’ve got plenty of ideas, but not the time. I used to get paid for my writing. Now, writing about anything other than galgos and podencos has taken a very back seat, so I lay the drop in my income firmly at your door. Because I don’t earn any money writing about galgos and podencos, I do it because I must, for these innocent souls. That’s for starters.

Santa Olalla, Toledo – Galgo puppies murdered and left in the street
SANTA OLALLA: GALGO PUPPIES… killed in cold blood and left on the street.
Mary says, ‘This afternoon when I walked with my puppies I’ve found these galgo puppies greyhound ….. dead. They dDo not seem to have been run over, rather someone killed them.
No one has been to take them, I just want to know if something can be done to find who did it. Whoever the bastard is who has done, deserves a lesson. They have no right to do this to poor animals …..

Spanish Guardia Civil – law enforcers? What a joke!
One of the things which I find really frustrating is how much back biting goes on between refuges and associations, whether in Spain, Belgium, France…… At the end of the day, for me, it is about the dogs, who cares who is ‘president’ of which association, who runs what refuge so long as it complies with GEE. For goodness sake, it’s about the animals, not about people and politics….
I was in a car park in Spain and where a little puppy, probably about 5 months old, looked like a x poodle, was wandering around loose. I went to take it up when a couple of young Spanish restrained me. It was their puppy, they said. As I don’t speak Spanish, I was unable to answer them as I would have liked to. I dread to think of how it ended up…certainly not microchipped, vaccinated and in a loving family home….more likely in a shelter, if it hadn’t been killed by a lorry driving into the car park.
