  • Galgo puppy in danger in Spain – foster and adopting home needed

    Levriers & Co Tigreton 200 8 2012Tigreton is 6 months old, found wandering the streets of a Spanish town, lost and helpless. His beautiful colouring and markings will make him a very handsome boy! Hidden away in a barn for fear of him being stolen for hunting, we need to get him a foster home quickly – better still a forever home so that this baby can have a life very different than the one he was probably destined for had he not escaped.

    Tigreton will be vaccinated, chipped and sterilised by Levriers & Co as soon as he has a home to go to – it can’t be soon enough! He is affectionate and playful, he’s a puppy…. but this baby is in danger the longer he stays where he is!

    Please call on :-(0033) 05 65 69 12 26 or email at :- doglinks.fr@gmail.com to save this beautiful young dog and give him the home he desperately deserves. Thank you.

  • R.I.P Lucho

    Chris Mosey, Lucho & co 250Those of you who have a copy of my book will have seen the photos and read about Lucho, who developed leptospirosis and was nursed back to health by his devoted family, especially Chris. He had a very bad start, injured, rescued by Scooby, leg had to be amputated. And yet, with his forever family in the US, he received an overload of love and care. He became ill late last year and has been nursed by both Chris and Dr Couto of Ohio University. Sadly, he lost his final fight. I am sure you will all join me in sending comfort wishes to Chris and family, inluding the two remaining canines.

    Cadiz poacher 2 250 8 2012Urgently need somewhere for these 3 galgos, all female, to go. They are in Cadiz, seized from poachers. Contact corilayka@gmail.com

    And I’ll add a note here that hunting is due to start next month, hunters are advertising puppies for sale at 50 euros on Milanuncios, and yet the perreras still have dozens and dozens of young healthy galgos on death row. At times I simply can’t keep up with posting them all – however do the volunteers cope.

  • Huelva, Spain – injured galgo on the street desperately needing help

    Huelva galgo 250 20 8 2012This galgo has been on the streets of Huelva for some months, as it was difficult to catch. As you can see, its rear hind paw is injured and it has many woulds on its body, as well as ticks. A woman has been finally able to gain its trust, take it home and treat the ticks, but she cannot keep it there, as she has no room – she has 6 dogs and her son is against it.

    It desperately needs getting off the street and the paw and wounds treating. It lives with a mastiff, is submissive, calm but nervous of people. With the woman it now accepts caresses.

    Can anyone take this boy – they’ve named him Triston. Please contact Paloma urgently.

  • Desperate, injured, starving in Cordoba

    Grissom 1 8 2012 170Black galgos, starving, injured, all needing help. First of all we have the case of a black galgo who has been named Grissom. He’s got a gun shot wound to his leg, the pellet is still there, and it has broken his leg. He desperately needs surgery etc and that will cost. He was very think when picked up, very loving, but obviously can’t move about on this damaged leg. He’s in foster care with 4 other dogs. If anyone can help, please contact Jenny Pabon plataformanala@gmail.com, or paloma.plataformanala@gmail.com

    The second case is really desperate too. Two black galgos (bottom photo) who have been living near some properties in Cicada, Cordoba, for over two months. One of them has neck marks, possibly a hanging mark, they are in a state through lack of food, often take refuge in a stream, so are at risk of the mosquito. The lady can’t take care of them because she has two dogs.
