  • 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.

  • Support the small associations – they need help too

    Charl Harley eye 250All animal rescue associations in Spain do an amazing job, some of them are lucky enough to have hundreds of supporters to raise funds for their work. Which sadly often pushes out the small associations who lurch from month to month trying to pay feed and vet bills. You’ll know from previous posts on Galgo News that Charl and 112carlotagalgos has worked tirelessly for many years – longer than many larger associations – to raise awareness of the plight of the galgos and podencos. You can read more about the dogs here.
