A happy ending for two young galgos – Badajoz to Madrid!
Do you remember the two young brindle galgos cowering terrified in Badajoz perrera. They have been adopted by a couple in Madrid and here they are on their way to their forever home. How I wish that to be the happy ending for every dog which finds itself in the killing stations, whatever its breed or mix.

Spanish Legal Expert needed – law on galgos running free
This is a question for the legal experts to answer. A couple in Palencia found two starving galgos in a ditch a couple of years ago. They adopted them and walk them in the fields in a morning, letting them run free. As they are so well fed, they don’t tend to catch anything!
The couple have now been told – by a man with two (unleashed) hunting dogs – that they are breaking the law by having the galgos run free in the campo, that they spoil the hunting. If he sees them running free again, he will file a report with the Guardia Civil.

Galgos in danger, Cordoba perrera and Badajoz … the holocaust continues
If a galgo won’t hunt, then the galguero gets rid of it. Some just dump them anywyhere, others will pass the dog onto another hunter…it doesn’t want to hunt, so it gets passed on to another hunter…..this is what has happened to one young galgo. This isn’t a photo of her, we don’t have one yet, just the appeal, can anyone squeeze her in somewhere to stop her ending up abandoned or in Badajoz perrera. garrapateracoherente@hotmail.com
And 7 galgos in Cordoba perrera, on death row – male and female, from 1-3 years old.

Malaga perrera – galgos on death row – starving – anyone room for them?
This is the harsh reality for dogs dumped in the municipal and private perreras – killing stations. It’s any dog which suffers like this, not just the galgos. But for the galgos, it’s simply that hunting is drawing to a close and the galgueros are dumping their dogs. These dogs are/were in the perrera El Paraiso at Malaga (some have already been killed). Vera describes.
