You remember Sofie, the galga abandoned in Badajoz earlier in the year, whose lower jaw was brutally smashed by some sadistic person. We’ve followed her progress under the care of volunteer Silvia and her vet, as the galga had her jaw rebuilt. In another 2 weeks she will be winging her way across the Atlantic ocean to her forever home in America under the guardianship of GRIN. Read her story and see the latest amazing pictures of this survivor. Isn’t she beautiful?

Romeo, saved in April, in danger from a galguero, looking for his forever home.
Help, please, anyone in the Torre Pacheco, Murcia, area or anywhere. Tina has been seeking a forever home for handsome galgo Romeo since she rescued him in April. Today she was told that tomorrow he will be given to a hunter!! You can imagine her distress! Common with a lot of the volunteers in the refuges…..saving the galgos only for them to be stolen back for the hunters! Here’s her appeal
‘I currently have Romeo in my garden. If I didnt take him today then tomorrow he was leaving with a hunter… i couldnt let that happen. OH MY GOD, husband is going to kill me. So far he is great with Guapo and has been good as gold, out of the refuge he is calmer. he has no microchip, no vaccines and is castrated.
Please help me, I cant keep him but if he stays in the refuge tomorrow he will be with a galguero.’
UPDATE Silvia in Valencia rushed to the rescue, Romeo is now on his way to her. If you can adopt this stunning galgo, please contact her.

Pregnant podenca on a Spanish street – in danger of the hunters
Yet another little lady, abandoned on the streets to survive, with a bellyful of pups! The refuges are full to overflowing, but it’s important to get this podenca off the streets before she has her babies. Hunting is about to start, and it’s a dangerous time for them all to be out and insecure.
The people who sent the plea for help for her cannot take her in as they already have several cases in the same position but they would finance her journey to another place if a foster home came up
