  • Spanish Galgo puppy Silencio – Galgos del Sur, Cordoba, to the rescue

    Galgos del Sur galguito head 250 7 2013This poor little soul is with Galgos del Sur. Here is his story.

    ‘We were given notice that a galguito was under a car in a marginal area of Cordoba. When we got there, the galguito was losing fluids from many parts of his body and we carried him to our car and went directly to the vet hospital.

    His diagnosis is not serious, but the care and hospitalization he needs will be expensive.His body is full of all kinds of parasites, has anaplasma, low hematocrit, has almost no power to move and is malnourished and dehydrated. We’ve called him Silence, because he crawled under the car to die in silence. The photos say it all.

  • Trip to Spain 1 – Scooby Residencia Valladolid – adopt Tula

    Cobie goods 250I’ve just got back from a trip to Spain, catching up with friends and shelters and the animal rescue work going on. It’s a while since I’ve been; last year was out because I had serious shoulder injuries which required an operation; this year I had serious mobility problems with one of my horses. So my visit was somewhat overdue!

    The planned route was Valladolid, Seville and Malaga; then drive straight back via Madrid. My first port of call was Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid. I first met Cobie at a refuge in Cordoba back in June 2009 and she’s been a very useful and knowledgeable contact for me regarding the situation in Spain for the galgos.

  • Three more galgos – urgent appeal to save one from the hunter

    Cordoba galga 250 1 9 2012The hands and feet in this photo are of a Spanish hunter in Cordoba. The galga, Nadine – see the fear as he crushes her to him, has been a breeding machine for the last 6 years, recently taken away from her last batch of puppies. Now he no longer wants her and is taking her to the perrera. The volunteer has managed to persuade him to keep her a few days whilst she finds somewhere for the galga to go. Please has anyone room, as the volunteer has too many dogs already at home. She is chipped. URGENT. anateremm@gmail.com

    The second appeal. September now, hunting has started, and still there are injured and starving galgos on the streets of Spanish towns and cities! This galgo has been on the streets for weeks, but was so terrified that he could not be caught – disappearing at times that the volunteers thought he had gone somewhere to die. But he has reappeared – they’ve called him Wasa, and now he has a shattered hind leg, scavenging around the dustbins on the streets – desperate.

  • Heartbreak for Baas Galgo in Cordoba and Toledo

    Baas sick puppy 190 8 2012Heartbreak for Baas Galgo in Cordoba. Sandra explains.

    ‘Sad news again…besides the death of two sister puppies hours after being admitted, the admitted puppies in Cordoba have Parvovirus as well. The vet finds it very difficult to think that they can survive…….. … they are puppies and they were given to us very starving, their immune system is under minimum and this is the worst that could happened to them….

    In addition to it we have five puppies at the shelter who MUST be out of there this weekend … and two more puppies have to be admittde … we REALLY need foster houses and financial aid … one more effort…….. please. We are working under minimal since emotionally we are having a rotten time … these news sadden us and emotionally our strength start to fail us.

    Thanks a lot and a big, bug, big hug to all from the Baasgalgo family.
