  • End of hunting season in Spain – galgueros dump their dogs en masse!!

    Galgo Rescue June 2009 050 210 I can’t keep up with it all on Galgo News, just too much to post; galgos and podencos abandoned throughout winter, refuges full to bursting, embalming galgos rears its ugly head again – more in another post – and now galgueros dumping their dogs at the refuges and shelters. Yet more galgos dumped in the perreras, and now cutting microchips out of the dogs before dumping. How do the volunteers cope?

And now there is news just in that upwards of 20 galgos have been taken to the El Paraiso perrera.

    Volunteers and associations are working round the clock to save them. Here’s what Charl del Rio says, after her visit to El Paraiso yesterday.
