SANTA OLALLA: GALGO PUPPIES… killed in cold blood and left on the street.
Mary says, ‘This afternoon when I walked with my puppies I’ve found these galgo puppies greyhound ….. dead. They dDo not seem to have been run over, rather someone killed them.
No one has been to take them, I just want to know if something can be done to find who did it. Whoever the bastard is who has done, deserves a lesson. They have no right to do this to poor animals …..
All too often, when bitches are abandoned, they come on heat and are covered by whatever male dogs get on their scent. They give birth and the litter can be a mixture of galgos and galgo mixes.
This is the story of one of those galgo mix puppies. Adopted from a Spanish shelter under the wings of Canispro, it’s a delightful tale of Rocki’s new life in Germany.

This galga was hung last week. Luckily she was rescued before she died, and is now in the care of L’Europe des Levriers.
Her trachea was severed by the thin rope around her neck and her lungs were very infected. Her neck had two holes from the trachea and worms and lots of shit were inside. The most complicated was that there were also very thin bots in the wound.
The galga was also suffering from a undernourishment and her liver and her kidneys had infection.
This is the message received.
‘This case is very urgent and we need help for someone to take this abandoned galga, who has 8 puppies about 1 month old, hidden in a field by an industrial estate. Much danger as they are living near gitanos who will try and take them. They need help urgently to take them to safety, help of any kind (where you can rescue and protect them and find foster etc after. Please, please is very urgent. We need experienced people in such cases and especially a safe place to take them.
I pray that someone heeds this call for help because the fate of this mother and her babies is very black if they are not rescued soon.
