Galgos Rescue Almeria – callouts to rescue even on Sundays
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1177445137849126
From Galgos Rescue Almeria
Even on Sundays, the rescue centre never rests. When the phone rings, we often already know what time it is. Once again, a call for help. A small galgo girl… no longer wanted. Discarded. Thanked for her work, then cast aside as if she no longer had any worth.
Our GRA van left immediately, as it so often does, heading to the agreed location. There she stood. Small and unsure. Her eyes said it all: she had had enough. Years of obedience, running until her body could no longer cope, enduring humiliations she never deserved. And yet, when we approached her gently, her tail gave a tiny wag. A spark of trust… despite everything. For this little girl, a new adventure begins today. (more…)

ProtectoraScooby Medina & the Halloween House of Horrors 3
Very gradual desensitisation…
While the dogs were under anaesthetic the vet vaccinated, microchipped and castrated the galgos. Their convalescence has been very good and they recovered well. Now we have to continue the gentle and steady rehab efforts with them. Of course our approach to the care of these
dogs is supportive with consistent positive reinforcement and very gradual desensitisation to potential triggers. We have kennelled each
one of these galgos with a more confident galgo or galgos, where feasible, to help each one of them build trust and gain confidence. We are pleased that very early signs of progress are starting to show but we still have a long road to travel. -
Protectora Scooby Medina and the Halloween House of Horrors Rescue 2
More on the rehabilitation of the 9 galgos rescued from the House of Horrors
The 4 fearfuls will definitely need to go to an experienced family home or homes and the 5 should eventually settle into adoption with relative ease. However, at some level, they all have a degree of anxiety having been simply left alone without daily contact from humans or any carefully managed experiences of, or introductions to doggy life in the outside world. They have certainly all suffered from incarceration and are now showing signs of trepidation when it comes to forming social bonds. Their past has compromised their welfare and this is very clear in their reduced responsiveness to humans. (more…)

Galgos Rescue Almeria – another unwanted galga now safe
From Sandy Galgoslover
Recently we received a call about this girl. Unwanted… “no longer useful”… words no animal should ever have to hear. You can imagine the rest.
This sweet soul lives with a hunter. She has given her whole life: worked, obeyed, never complained. She endured humiliation, swallowed disappointment, and never understood why love for her had to be so scarce. (more…)

Galgo left for dead – 2 broken legs – Galgos 112 to the rescue
From Galgos 112
https://www.facebook.com/reel/698547899536091
A friend of our veterinarian Montse de Linares, knowledgeable of the work we do in Galgos112, has contacted us because not the police of a town of Jaén (no matter which, since It’s the usual tonic) and no one listened to him to pick up this poor being, with one leg completely destroyed and another broken as well. Berto as we’ve called him was lying near a place where people sometimes pass by on bikes and that was his luck…

What a beautiful face. Another gorgeous galga abandoned and injured on the streets of Cuenca. Here is her story.
‘Emy was brought to us this morning from Cuenca. Emilio picked her up last night, completely terrified with a large wound in her leg. She had been wandering for several days tghrough the town but no one had stopped to help, not uncommon in this country of savages.
