The way animal rescue associations criticise each other really gets me angry! Here’s a post I wrote on my Save the Galgo facebook page.
On Saturday, 11th October 2014, I was pleased to be a part of the demonstration and publicity in the Trocadero, Paris, organised by Galgos Ethique Europe, illustrating to the general public the beautiful galgos who were there as ambassadors for their breed, and telling of the dreadful maltreatment they suffer in Spain at the hands of the galgueros and gitanos.
Galgos France have a new website. Please take a look at both the galgos and podencos waiting for their forever homes, some of them still in the shelters in Spain.
Please can anyone in Portugal find the owners of this little dog; found begging in France. Story goes that it was given to a family but bit the child and they took it to the dog pound; the pound is full and at risk from high sacrifice, he has a chip from Portugal.. 620098100443844 – not registered in France. male small breed. Galgos France say ‘we dont know how he got to France, from an assoc or private? who can help?who has a contact in Portugal who can check out the details please? Please contact Nelly at Galgos France if you can help.
Here’s an absolutely beautiful video of the dogs looking for forever homes with Galgos France, including little chocolate coloured podenca Mary, which Charl del Rio rescued from abandonment at a petrol filling station in southern Spain. Contact Charl if you can offer a home to Mary.
