Galgo Project EU is a Dutch organisation dedicated to supporting, rescuing, and giving a voice to galgos and podencos. They work closely with Spanish shelters, help dogs find safe homes, and raise awareness about the structural mistreatment these dogs still suffer.
With Galgo Project EU, we’re gathering data, testimonies, and concrete evidence to build a detailed dossier for the European Parliament. Our goal is clear:
To hold Spain accountable for not applying Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty, and to push for equal, EU-wide protection of all dogs, including galgos and podencos, without exceptions. (more…)
Recently we received a call about this girl. Unwanted… “no longer useful”… words no animal should ever have to hear. You can imagine the rest.
This sweet soul lives with a hunter. She has given her whole life: worked, obeyed, never complained. She endured humiliation, swallowed disappointment, and never understood why love for her had to be so scarce.(more…)
The Civil Guard caught them conducting hunts with greyhounds outside the closed season in a publicly owned hunting reserve
Six people between the ages of 33 and 63 have been brought before the courts after being caught by Civil Guard officers while they were illegally hunting with greyhounds in a publicly owned hunting reserve in the Arlanza region.
According to sources from the Civil Guard, a call was received a few days ago alerting them to the presence of a group of people with no apparent connection to the hunting reserve where they were located, carrying out hunts with greyhounds on the lands of the municipality.
Immediately, a patrol from the Covarrubias station went to the location and began a thorough inspection of the area in search of those responsible, with positive results since while examining a wooded area, a man was located who, upon noticing the police presence, tried to flee; however, he was found shortly afterwards hidden among the vegetation.
As a result of the police investigations carried out, it was learned that while these events were taking place, the rest of the members of the group were trying to leave the place in a car, so the Civil Guard intensified the search, which allowed them to locate the car in the vicinity while it was traveling along a road.
Given this evidence, all occupants were identified and, like the first individual already arrested, lacked the necessary permits and authorizations to engage in hunting. Simultaneously with the police investigation, the corresponding administrative reports were filed for the improper transport of the animals.
The six, in varying degrees of responsibility, have been brought before the court as alleged perpetrators of a crime against wildlife for poaching, and the proceedings have been handed over to the Court of Lerma.

International Day of the Dog is now into its 6th year, always on the last Sunday in April. 2011 so happens to also be Easter Sunday, so I held my fundraising IDOD Dog Walk a week early on 17th April. The sun shone brightly on St Pardoux with over 50 dogs and their loving owners turning up for a leisurely stroll along the delightful lanes and tracks which surround this small village in Western France, where I live.

The galgueros deny they hang dogs, they say it never happens now. I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true. And here is yet more proof that they lie. This is Julia;
‘Human cruelty has no limits and is clearly reflected in our little Julia. It does not take much imagination to feel the pain she has suffered, yet the hunters deny once again they do this, so cruel and heartless.
