  • Baas Galgo to the rescue of 5 maltreated galgos

    This week we received a call that broke our hearts.  They are 5 innocent creatures who have lived, or rather, barely survived their entire lives… It’s not right, and there will surely be no justice, because they belong to no one.
    Thanks to Ruth and Toño, we were able to rescue the little greyhound in the first photo; she was the most urgent case since she’s in the worst condition.
    Now we need a miracle and to find 4 more families willing to help us.  Their lives depend on it.  Can you lend us a paw?

    2025 news from Galgos Rescue Almeria

    The past year was one of ups and downs. We faced unexpected setbacks and intense emotions, but also countless beautiful moments, shared with the special dogs who crossed our path. It was a hectic year that flew by, yet one we look back on with warm and grateful hearts.

    We think back to all the D-days: those unforgettable moments when our beloved dogs packed their bags to meet their new families. No fewer than 177 dogs found their happiness this year. A result we could only dream of, and one that was made possible thanks to our amazing partners: Associazione ZAC Odv , Un Levriero per la Vita, Project Galgo, Vegrennen EV, Simona Norkute (Lithuania), Helping Animals Almanzora, Friends of Mazarrón Animals, Stichting Wereldhonden, and of course you—our loyal supporters. By sharing their stories so widely, you helped give each of them a new future. (more…)

    This little guy recently arrived at the Rescue center. A tiny baby… trembling, scared, completely lost in a world that had been far too harsh on him. His eyes wide with fear, his little body so fragile you were almost afraid to touch him.   Because evening was already falling and the darkness was creeping in, we first settled him in very gently. No more stimuli, no new voices… Just peace, warmth, and soft words. You could feel in everything that he needed this after such a nasty, cold and heartless ordeal. As if he was finally allowed, after a long time, to breathe again.  Only this morning, with the first light, could we take a proper look at him… (more…)

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – callouts to rescue even on Sundays

    From Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Even on Sundays, the rescue centre never rests.  When the phone rings, we often already know what time it is. Once again, a call for help. A small galgo girl… no longer wanted. Discarded. Thanked for her work, then cast aside as if she no longer had any worth.

    Our GRA van left immediately, as it so often does, heading to the agreed location. There she stood. Small and unsure. Her eyes said it all: she had had enough. Years of obedience, running until her body could no longer cope, enduring humiliations she never deserved. And yet, when we approached her gently, her tail gave a tiny wag. A spark of trust… despite everything.  For this little girl, a new adventure begins today. (more…)

    More on the rehabilitation of the 9 galgos rescued from the House of Horrors

    The 4 fearfuls will definitely need to go to an experienced family home or homes and the 5 should eventually settle into adoption with relative ease.  However, at some level, they all have a degree of anxiety having been simply left alone without daily contact from humans or any carefully managed experiences of, or introductions to doggy life in the outside world. They have certainly all suffered from incarceration and are now showing signs of trepidation when it comes to forming social bonds. Their past has compromised their welfare and this is very clear in their reduced responsiveness to humans. (more…)

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – another unwanted galga now safe

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    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…)

  • Galgo Rescue Almeria – more unwanted galgos arrive

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.  Helping animals in need never ends.

    A few days ago, we received another cry for help—two galgos desperately needed help. so we  drove to pick them up. Their owner told us that he and his wife were struggling with serious health issues and could no longer care for them.  At first glance, these two sweethearts seem fine: calm, friendly, grateful. But they need medical care before they can start their new lives. Next week, they’ll have a vet checkup.
    That same week, two other galgo girls were dumped next to our rescue center — alone, confused, abandoned. It remains incomprehensible why asking for help is so difficult… Asking for help is free, and it can save lives.

  • Six people arrested for illegally hunting with galgos in Burgos

    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.
