  • Desperate, injured, starving in Cordoba

    Grissom 1 8 2012 170Black galgos, starving, injured, all needing help. First of all we have the case of a black galgo who has been named Grissom. He’s got a gun shot wound to his leg, the pellet is still there, and it has broken his leg. He desperately needs surgery etc and that will cost. He was very think when picked up, very loving, but obviously can’t move about on this damaged leg. He’s in foster care with 4 other dogs. If anyone can help, please contact Jenny Pabon plataformanala@gmail.com, or paloma.plataformanala@gmail.com

    The second case is really desperate too. Two black galgos (bottom photo) who have been living near some properties in Cicada, Cordoba, for over two months. One of them has neck marks, possibly a hanging mark, they are in a state through lack of food, often take refuge in a stream, so are at risk of the mosquito. The lady can’t take care of them because she has two dogs.

  • Urgent – Save the galgos of Baeza refuge, Jaen, from the galgo thieves!

    Baeza Beethoven 250 7 2012We’re into July, still galgos arriving on in the perreras, but the danger is also in the refuges, many unmanned at night, when the Spanish gypsies and hunters look around to see what galgos are in there which they could steal for the next hunting season. They have no scruples – these dogs are just a tool.

    Baeza refuge in Jaen is under pressure, there are a few of their galgos which are vulnerable to be stolen. They urgently need associations to take these galgos to safety, one a puppy of 5 months, rescued from the local dog pound where they kill the dogs. If they can move these hounds to safety, they can take some more from the Resur dog pound. Here are their details, all very young dogs..

  • More abandoned Cordoba galgas and a lame puppy

    Cordoba galga & pup road 2 250 12 2011Cordoba again, yet another galga and puppies. Here’s the report from El Arca de Noe Cordoba.

    ’23 Dec. I was driving along a road going to a store on an industrial estate when a galga crossed my path, her teats were very swollen. I had to brake hard so as not to hit her. She ran into the rough ground on the industrial estate, and I then saw she was not alone, there was another galga with her, and a puppy – the puppy is lame.

  • El Arca de Noe, Cordoba – condemning the hunters – shame on these men!

    Cordoba galga 3 250 01 11 2011I try not to post really bad pix on GN because I don’t want to turn people away from reading about life for the galgos and volunteers in Spain. But I make no apologies for posting these photos of Lia, luckily she is with El Arca de Noe in Cordoba. Here’s the story and appeal, in the words of the volunteer.

    ‘WE HAVE RESCUED LIA AND SHE IS HOSPITALISED. SHE HAS LOST THE WILL TO LIVE, THE WOUND IS HORRIBLE, SHE IS BLEEDING FROM HER VAGINA A LOT. SHE CANNOT STAND UP. LIA WAS LETTING HERSELF DIE BUT WE REACHED HER IN TIME, ALTHOUGH WE DONT KNOW IF SHE WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE. BUT WE ARE TRYING AT LEAST.

  • URGENT! Save this mama galga and her babies in Cordoba

    Cordoba galga puppies 250 2 10 2011This appeal just in today. ‘Subject: URGENT !!!!! Great danger. Save Mama Galga and babies. ABANDONed Córdoba – arqueologa83@gmail.com

    Write to, if you can foster or adopt: arqueologa83@gmail.com

    These pups are at high risk, their mom is a galga (still no pictures of her), she is lame in one leg. We assume she has run for food for her babies and
    goes in search of food leaving them alone with the risk that entails. Besides that, she goes through an area where there are many hunters and now it has started to rain.
