  • Malaga galga – foster home urgently needed

    Jesus galga 1 190 11 11 2012This young galga, about 6-8 months old, was picked up at a petrol station at Montoro (Cordoba) on the Madrid/Seville motorway! She was looking for food, hanging around the restaurant, whose staff confirmed it had been hanging around for a couple of weeks. She was very thin and, since being rescued, has spent a day and a half eating and sleeping! She’s in a foster home in Malaga but can’t stay there as the parents of the fosterer have said they will not have a dog in the apartment. So it’s urgent to find her a foster home and a forever family. She’s friendly and gaining in confidence. Please contact the fosterer Jesus.

  • Spanish Galgos injured, abandoned, mistreated, the Galgueros perpetrate the horror

    PERLA1[1] 24 03 2011 250 I don’t know how the volunteers and associations in Spain keep their stamina and emotions, I am getting more emails in this year than ever since Galgo News started in 2007 and I am sickened by the sheer volume of galgos in perreras, abandoned in the street, hung from trees, kicked and stoned, abandoned to be injured on motorways……..it is simply unbelievable that the authorities in Spain remain blinkered about how this affects the international perception of Spain.
