As I am due to go into hospital next week for a shoulder operation and will be unable to drive etc for at least 6 weeks, Kim Webster has kindly offered to organise a stand for me at No Voice No Choice, a huge animal event being held at Chertsey, Surrey, on 6th August.
We want to give as much publicity as possible about the plight of the beautiful galgos and podencos who suffer so much at the hands of the Spanish hunters, whether on mainland Spain or the Spanish Islands.
This little chap has been named Rufo. He was found abandoned, suffering from a serious eye infection which rendered him blind. He was rescued and taken into the caring hands of Silvia of Galgo Connection Spain. His eye infection has been treated, his eyes are much improved – as you can see from these photos – although he is still receiving medication to clear the infection completely. Now he needs his forever home.
4 galgos and a podenco in a village near Seville; Loli Dalo needs help with finding somewhere for them to go. Can anyone help her? 675146168 lolidalo@gmail.com lolidalo@hotmail.com or loli
Latest update on Esperanza, the galga some bastard tried to kill and dumped in a rubbish bin. What an amazing fighter she is, hanging onto life, and what an amazing team of people are helping her.
‘Esperanza’s surgery has finished. She is alive but she needs intensive care. Surgery has not been easy. Vets put needles and surgical cement to rebuild her broken vertebra. There is reserved prognosis, at least, until a couple of days, because her life is still in danger. Her health condition is delicate. If everything is OK, a new period of ten days will start.
This beautiful galgo was roaming the streets of Merida, Badajoz, in terrible condition, without food, injured, very weak and very scared. A young woman has been feeding her, managed to get a collar on her, but she needs somewhere to go as the woman has too many animals already in her small appartment. If anyone has room for this beauty now named Mia, Please contact xana.50 @ hotmail.es Update – now in a shelter, needs a forever family. Wormed, microchipped and vaccinated. CONTACTO: asociacion_acudame@hotmail.com
And another ….
As I said recently, I simply can’t keep up with the appeal emails coming into my inbox. And I have been away for the past couple of days, collecting our next foster dog who is bound for his forever home in the UK in September, so now there are even more appeals. This one is just translated from Spanish via Google Translate without corrections. Sorry. But I am sure you will get the gist of the stories, and it will sicken you.
Please support this Auction for the galgos and podencos. It starts on Friday,6th May 2011 at 1200 and runs until 16th May 2011 at 1800. There are several organizations who have donated art for the auction. Greyhound Friends, Galgovrienden, Straydogs from Belgium, Residencia Scooby in Valladolid (Spain) and probably Greyhound Foundation. There are more than 60 items for the auction, from cheap to expensive art so something for everybody.
Kind regards,

Here’s news from Maria Daines, fantastic singer/songwriter and marvellous supporter of animals in need. If anyone is willing to organise a Galgo/Podenco publicity stand, please get in touch, maybe we can put volunteers in touch with each other through Galgo News and Podenco Post. The Galgos and Podencos need you to help.
‘We’ve been really busy working on the DDAWatch/Company of Animals ‘No Voice No Choice’ event coming up on August 6th in Surrey. I thought I’d better catch up with you all and invite you to have a stall (rescue and good causes can book a place for free) and if you can’t hold a stall on the day you’re most welcome to attend with or without your dogs, it’s also free entry to the public with plenty of car parking.
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.
