Galga Zoe, left for dead – now in her forever home
Tribute to Zoe – by Charlotte del Rio
Dear Sr.Galguero
I was sitting here with my thoughts, looking back over time.
Just a mere girl I was at your feet, the foot that booted me regularly. I wondered when the day would be, when I’d be free from the shame I felt.I wandered by your side Sr.Galguero as a good galga should and on many occasion I know you thought you broke me. You almost did!
At just a year old I’d been born into hell, I knew nothing more than the life I led. Shamed, doomed, and hollow. Fear striking me at every move. How I lived on my nerves .. Oh how I did.

Galga Ishtar – from Cordoba to Finland – working through the fear
Tanja tells her story
‘I am a veterinarian and have always wanted to work with rescue dogs. For years I have wanted to adopt a galgo and after my elderly dog died I had an opportunity to finally offer a home to one. Since I have a lot of rescues as patients I was able to spread the word that I am willing to adopt a galgo who might have physical/emotional problems.
After a few months I got an email from Espanjan Koirat, a rescue organization in Finland adopting dogs from Spain. In that email was a picture of a black and white galga, lying on a concrete floor in her food dish. She was emaciated, full of scars and looked very traumatized. And within an instant I had made the decision, this would be my family member.
It was only after a while that I was able to track down the recent history of my Ishtar.

Sighthounds for Life Auction for 112carlotagalgos – ends 10 November
Here’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.
