  • Venancio, galgo rescued in Spain, adopted in Norway – can you help him?

    Venancio 1 250 Venancio is a galgo rescued in Spain, rehomed in Norway. Unfortunately he arrived with a problem which is going to be extremely costly to put right. Monette tells his story.

    I´m writing you with an appeal on behalf of a newly adopted galgo from Spain and his loving family. Venancio arrived Norway december 2010, where a young couple have adopted him. Unfortunately, it appears now that the damage Venancio suffered just before his departure from Spain is so bad, that the vet in Norway has given the family only two choices, either to put Venancio to sleep or to have him operated, – an operation which there is no way the family can effort!

  • Galgo Ken, surviving and fighting his way back to health – thanks Galgos del Sol

    Ken_rehab_3 18 02 2011 250 Yesterday I linked to an update on Nicholas, a great galgo survivor. Today I give you an update on Ken, another brave soul fighting to regain his health after being hit from behind by a vehicle. He has now been operated on and the vet is happy that there is now feeling in Ken’s back legs, and he is not in pain. Galgos del Sol continue to work closely with the vet and Ken – but it’s costly both in time, emotion and vet fees. If you can help with vet fees, donate by credit card to UK bank or Paypal to tinasolera@hotmail.co.uk.
