Because galgos are not aggressive dogs, unscrupulous people use them as bait for dog fighting. This galguita found a few days ago, is young, full of wounds and has a broken tail.
There currently seems to be some uncertainty as to who actually has the galga,
A while ago, animal volunteers in Burgos area, which I have travelled through and is a mass of half finished apartment blocks and huge cranes – a building site – heard that it is difficult to adopt out of the Burgos perrera. Immense ignorance, lack of information, lack of compliance with the law, the carelessness…. on 9th November this galga arrived, starving, normal for a dog abandoned on the street.
But Galgos del Norte got in there and this is what they found….(click on Lee Mas under the Salva story
The diagnosis of the vet, words cannot describe her suffering – BURNED by acid…. and this dog was just left in the kennels in the municipal kennels without treatment.
Zaragoza perrera, young dogs on death row, puppies, sick dogs, pedigree dogs, young dogs…..they are available for rescue, adoption etc. The young pointer with the tumour is very depressed; the Sharpei is only 3 years old; the puppy with an injured eye which requires treatment; young Breton spaniel, Sabu the old podenca, 12 yrs old, served her purpose as a breeding machine and now dumped.

This beautiful galga is Reka. You will see her terrible injuries below. She was found a week ago, the injuries were not fresh, and smelled, it was not known how long she had been suffering like this. She was exhausted, hungry and ready to give up when found.
Ana from Gran Familia tells the story. ‘She had to be anaesthetised in order to clean up and sew these ugly wounds, the leg muscle has been joined from behind but possibly she will be left with a slight limp. She had some internal bleeding and a torn vulva, which would intimate she was pregnant. It is difficult to imagine how these injuries happened but Reka has had to stay in the vet clinic to have her wounds treated.

Diana, a stunning beige brindle galga, 4 years of age… with a lifetime left to live, who, after 4 years of existence as a hunting galga, finds herself in a perrera. The sounds and cries of her fellow dogs scaring her to trembling state. Grieving for life on a cold wet perrera floor. A galga 4 years od with a life to give.
Lovely video to watch about saving an injured galga. Well done, Galgos del Sol.
The association have just taken in this 4 month old podenca puppy – this is what she brought on her back. Contact Galgos del Sol if you can offer her – or any of their other podencos/galgos, a forever home.
URGENT PLEASE.! IF SOMEONE IS GOING TO KENNELS (OLIVENZA) PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO.
This galgo, called Mory,is one year old and was stolen on 18th February in Almendralejo, Badajoz. Its owners are still desperately trying to find it. This is the only photo we have, but as identification, there is a scar as small as a grain of rice hetween its eyes. The owners are heartbroken. Please, if anyone is going into the Olivenza Perrera, have a look at the galgos.

Just a question – why the hell wasn’t the dog microchipped, if the owner cared so much about it! Finding a black galgo in Spain?!!
You remember brave Ken, the galgo hit from behind by a motor vehicle, rescued by Galgos del Sol and now with Galgo Connection Spain in Valencia. Silvia’s vet and the team are helping rebuild his body and he is now mobile with his personal wheelchair!
Here is the latest news about him from Silvia.
‘Now we take him to rehabilitation, he has more muscles in the back side, something is confused because he moves the tail and the legs but has not sensibility, the vet is looking if he gets better with the rehab.
This starving skeletal galgo is wandering the streets of Badajoz, next to a very busy highway; barely strength to stand; a volunteer is now taking him food and water but has nowhere to put him. Has anyone room foe him? xana.50@hotmail.es
UPDATE – FEPAEX have taken him in, he is no longer lost and on the street.
