Do you remember the little puppy Peritas, saved by Tina Solera. He was rehomed in Madrid. Here is a delightful video of him. How I wish all galgo puppies could have such a wonderful life away from the horrors of life with a Spanish galguero.

Fiesta des Galgos 2010, American style! Galgos galore rehomed from Spain
In support of Charl del Rio’s annual Fiesta des Galgos, held at the beginning of December, I organised my Fete des Galgos in France on 12th September (the weather’s better than in December!) and GRIN in America organised their Fiesta des Galgos picnic on 19th September. You can already see the pix of my Fun Dog Show for the event, and here’s a few pix of the American event. Check out Mr & Mrs Spain – it could only happen in America, bless them! As a result of this event, GRIN were able to send donations to help Silvia in Valencia pay for the veterinary treatment for the galgos and podencos in her care.

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.

Saving galgos, saving humans, adopt a needy dog
Sent to me today, author unknown. I have to share it with you. I wept a tear.
I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.
