  • Galgo rescuers brave snowstorms to save the innocents

    Link to the story of L’Europe des Levriers’ rescue at the end of January, in a snowstorm. They brought out many galgos and a couple of podencos from the refuge at Herencia, run by Rosario, including two puppies found hiding under a makeshift shelter, whom Rosario named Draco and Kyra. Draco has been adopted by an artist. As always, some of the dogs have to be left behind, waiting for the next rescue. Enjoy the pix.

  • Spanish Galgos Ulises, Maisey, Luna from El Paraiso – please donate to vet fees

    Naisey after operation 24 11 2010 250 More abandoned and rescued galgos……from the perrera, from the countryside, urbanizations……….they are being abandoned everywhere, and it is only November – still the middle of the Spanish hunting season! One of the galgas rescued from El Paraiso could be pregnant, so an urgent spaying operation has now been carried out. And Maisey, an abandoned injured galga – sadly her leg could not be saved, so she is yet another one with an amputation. And the vet fees need paying!

    Ulises was a galgo who had been living rough for months, no one could get near him. Eventually he was so ill he could be caught. He has leishmania, ehrlichia, rickets, a skin condition, but he is a fighter, as are the other two…..he wants to live and experience a forever home.
