Pro-Galgo urgently need help – please donate
Does this break your heart or what? To see a beautiful affectionate loving galgo in this state! Luckily Pro-Galgo has come to his rescue. You can read his story and that of another galgo, plus a little Yorkie (whose owner died) on their website.
Pro-Galgo still has 5 of the 28 Jerez galgos in kennels, which costs, and now they have vet bills for these three dogs. They are out of funds. Please, if you can contribute towards any of these costs – 700 euros will cover the fees for microchipping, vaccination, castration – and a dental job on the Yorkie – donate through their website. However small the amount – even £10 or $10 or 10 euros – it will be greatly appreciated.

Podenco Scooby is also looking for his forever family, he is in the UK already
And yet another podenco, in the UK already, looking for a forever home. He’s with Pro-Galgo and this is what Mo Swatek says about him.
‘Goku, or Scooby as we have now called him, is one of the Podencos that arrived from Spain recently. He is around 18 months old and is absolutely stunning. He has the most amazing ears and grin and wonderful red coat.
Scooby is very playful and loves to play tug with a raggy toy, either with his kennel mate or with visitors. He can still be a little shy of new people but is very loving and confident when he gets to know you.Scooby could live with older (10+), calm and gentle children.
