CAS International takes the fight for Spain’s hunting dogs to Brussels
While Spain continues to exclude hunting dogs from basic protection under national law, EU-level legislation and enforcement could ensure these dogs are finally protected across all Member States.
On Tuesday 27th January the European Parliament in Brussels hosted an important event to raise awareness about the cruel treatment of Spanish hunting dogs and the need for protection. Director, Maite van Gerwen, was one of the speakers. She shared insights on the new EU regulation on the welfare of dogs and cats and explained how these rules could bring significant improvements for hunting dogs. (more…)

Baas Galgo to the rescue of 5 maltreated galgos
This week we received a call that broke our hearts. They are 5 innocent creatures who have lived, or rather, barely survived their entire lives… It’s not right, and there will surely be no justice, because they belong to no one.Thanks to Ruth and Toño, we were able to rescue the little greyhound in the first photo; she was the most urgent case since she’s in the worst condition.Now we need a miracle and to find 4 more families willing to help us. Their lives depend on it. Can you lend us a paw?Paypal adopciones@baasgalgo.org -
The magic of a Spanish Galgo
This is taken from a page about the greyhound but it also applies to the Spanish greyhound.
They might be tall, lean, and built for the speed of the wind, but their spirits are as gentle as a summer breeze. Greyhounds prove that angels come in elegant, leggy packages, often found curled up on a soft sofa instead of racing across the sky.
Their long, stilt-like legs carry a heart of immense kindness, and those deep, soulful eyes can heal the roughest days in an instant. We are incredibly lucky to be chosen by these graceful, affectionate companions who demand nothing but a warm spot to nap and a gentle hand. (more…)

Old galga desperate for a loving forever home
Urgent. Who has got a spot. This poor 10-year-old Galga is sitting in the Seville perrera. It is cold and wet. No place for such a sensitive old dog
She served her master well for all those years, bred goodness knows how many babies, and this is the thanks she gets!

Galgos Rescue Almeria – a busy year of ups and downs
2025 news from Galgos Rescue Almeria
The past year was one of ups and downs. We faced unexpected setbacks and intense emotions, but also countless beautiful moments, shared with the special dogs who crossed our path. It was a hectic year that flew by, yet one we look back on with warm and grateful hearts.
We think back to all the D-days: those unforgettable moments when our beloved dogs packed their bags to meet their new families. No fewer than 177 dogs found their happiness this year. A result we could only dream of, and one that was made possible thanks to our amazing partners: Associazione ZAC Odv , Un Levriero per la Vita, Project Galgo, Vegrennen EV, Simona Norkute (Lithuania), Helping Animals Almanzora, Friends of Mazarrón Animals, Stichting Wereldhonden, and of course you—our loyal supporters. By sharing their stories so widely, you helped give each of them a new future. (more…)

Galgos Rescue Almeria – callouts to rescue even on Sundays
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1177445137849126
From Galgos Rescue Almeria
Even on Sundays, the rescue centre never rests. When the phone rings, we often already know what time it is. Once again, a call for help. A small galgo girl… no longer wanted. Discarded. Thanked for her work, then cast aside as if she no longer had any worth.
Our GRA van left immediately, as it so often does, heading to the agreed location. There she stood. Small and unsure. Her eyes said it all: she had had enough. Years of obedience, running until her body could no longer cope, enduring humiliations she never deserved. And yet, when we approached her gently, her tail gave a tiny wag. A spark of trust… despite everything. For this little girl, a new adventure begins today. (more…)

Galgo Project EU – information needed on the numbers of dogs in shelters
Galgo Project EU is a Dutch organisation dedicated to supporting, rescuing, and giving a voice to galgos and podencos. They work closely with Spanish shelters, help dogs find safe homes, and raise awareness about the structural mistreatment these dogs still suffer.
With Galgo Project EU, we’re gathering data, testimonies, and concrete evidence to build a detailed dossier for the European Parliament. Our goal is clear:
To hold Spain accountable for not applying Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty, and to push for equal, EU-wide protection of all dogs, including galgos and podencos, without exceptions. (more…)
