  • Galgos saved from Badajoz perrera en route to 112carlotagalgos – please donate

    Charl Tara 250 11 2013Tara is just 1 year old and already experienced the trauma of being dumped in Badajoz perrera by her galguero. She has been rescued. Now renamed AMBER by Charl del Rio, she will be coming to 112carlotagalgos on 30/11/2013 with four other rescued galgos from Badajoz. Victor, Zach, Phoebe and Zara will be leaving the hell of the killing station too and travelling with Amber to start their new life at the finca under the loving hand of the Del Rio’s.

    Poor little Zara is coming with a fractured leg and, with the cost of release fees, vaccines etc plus residency fees until pick up on Saturday not to even mention surgery for Zara, castration, other medical treatment needed the cost is massive.

  • Sighthounds for Life Auction for 112carlotagalgos – ends 10 November

    112carlota Kenya 170 1 10 2013Here’s the latest Sighthounds for Life auction. There are dozens of fabulous items, please have a look and get bidding. All proceeds to 112carlotagalgos.

    In the last couple of months galgos have arrived at the finca desperately needing expensive operations and medical treatment. First there was Dante needing a leg operation; then Happy with no fur and swollen legs – a serious case of mange; then Kenya arrived with a deformed foreleg which previous operations had not repaired. Vet bills for these hounds alone run into four figures.

    Add to that feeding all the dogs, microchip and vaccinations to prepare the dogs for adoption…money goes out faster than it comes in.

  • A Spanish galgo speaks…

    Charl Carly 250 1 2013Meet Carly, a white galga in the perrera for killing. Saved and now with 112carlotagalgos.

    Carly.

    I wish I could explain
    to you the pain
    I feel when I looked at you.
    The fear it runs right through my bones,
    chills me through to my very soul.
