  • Portuguese galga and puppies – rescued just in time

    Galga Riti was rescued from the street so heavily pregnant that she gave birth soon after to two gorgeous puppies. Viddy and Viggy will need forever homes when they are old enough, vaccinations, microchips etc.

    Lumi is another galgo pup lucky to have been rescued with his galga mom from poor conditions.  You can read the story here and watch the videos of him at play with his sibling.

    The only hope of a forever home for these lovelies is outside of Portugal.  Please contact Dogs of Portugal if you can help.

  • Not a galgo…

    One of the problems I have, living in France, is with the number of French – especially farmers – who keep border collies on chains as ‘guard dogs’! Even there is a little Staffie type dog just round the corner from me who spends her life on a 2m chain from the garage. I don’t understand why people have a dog – to do this to them.

    I understand even less how someone in Spain can have a Husky x and keep it on a chain for 4 years.
