  • Galgo pup Charlie, survivor of Jerez perrera – sadly Charlie has now died

    Charlie 2 Charl 01 2011 250 The refuges and shelters are, as ever, swamped under the sheer volume of abandoned dogs, especially galgos – there’s been no let up all winter. And still the governments and authorities ignore the problem. Here’s another casualty of the galgueros. This is Charlie, 5 months old galgo pup, suffering from a viral infection in the Jerez killing station.

    Update 8 01 2011 Sadly today Charlie gave up his fight for life. Thanks to everyone who donated to help the vet try and save him.

  • Cheap Spanish Holiday Accommodation in Malaga, Seville and Cadiz

    Not such a happy time for these galgos, chucked aside by the heartless hunters to be killed – even the method of killing will not be kind. Terrified, confused, traumatised………….these gentle affectionate dogs do not deserve the life meted out to them by the hunters. They didn’t ask to be born.

    There are more than a dozen galgos still in the Jerez perrera, contact Maribel; others here are in the Alhaurin Malaga perrera, contact Vera, and the ones behind bars are in the Seville perrera, contact Maribel

  • Jerez perrera, Cadiz – another dozen galgos dumped yesterday!

    Good news about the second batch of galgos in the Jerez perrera. 6 are going to Valencia for care and rehoming, 4 are going to Malaga for care and rehoming and two are going together to their forever home in the UK. Holly and Faith, as they have been named, became bosom buddies when they were both rescued by Dioni. Their EU passport is now being prepared and then they will travel together into quarantine kennels in the UK, where their adopting family (who have been involved in greyhound rescue for decades) will be able to spend time getting to know them, preparing them to join the rest of their canine family.

  • Update on Jerez Galgos – yet more dumped every day! Curse the hunters!

    All 15 of the first Jerez galgos were saved, to be immediately replaced by another 15. Everyone is overflowing with dogs, so only about half a dozen of these have been saved, and today Maribel reports another 14 have been dumped at the perrera for killing. It is just simply sickening. And the sad thing is that the more everyone who loves these dogs works to save them, the galgueros are laughing up their sleeves at the seemingly bottomless pit of foster homes and refuges willing to take them……….dump the dogs, let someone else sort the problem out!

    There are young dogs, old dogs, bitches used for breeding, pregnant bitches, injured dogs – the hunters don’t give a damn. And they don’t seem to realise, or even care, that this all gives a negative impression of Andalucia.

    Tonight our hearts bleed for those unable to be saved.

  • 15 souls on death row in Jerez, Cadiz – no winter sun holiday in Spain for them

    Jerez galgos 1 Vera 07 12 2010 250 Last week 15 galgos were saved from death row in the Jerez killing station, Cadiz. As soon as they had been removed, another 15 arrived, dumped by the brave courageous hunters (sarcasm!). Oh, these hunters think they are such BIG men! They are not men, they are not human, they are worse than scumbags, a cockroach I would squash beneath my shoe!

    Who is going to save these poor deserving terrified confused souls? 9 males, 6 females. All the shelters are collapsing under the mass abandonment this year. How many more can be saved?
