Do you remember Nana, the little galgo puppy in the care of Pro-Galgo and being treated for an horrendous case of mange? She then succumbed to distemper, bravely fought on and has now recovered enough to feel happy to play with other hounds. Read her progress report here.

L’Europe des Levriers – saving galgos from Jerez and Bullas, Murcia
Beatrice Monnet, President of L’Europe des Levriers in France, has been working in galgo and podenco rescue from Spain for about a decade. In 2006 she founded EDL and it has since gone from strength to strength. I have been on many rescues with her and what I saw and learnt provided much information for my book. Here is a video of the dogs rescued in February 2012, some of them you will see are galgos in Jerez perrera which were featured on Galgo News. One poor boy lost his paw, caught in a viscious snare; two of them had filaria (heartworm) but have responded really well to treatment.
Where it says ‘accueil’, that means the dog is in foster and available for adoption. The two white galgos live near me in France, and I will see them next month for my 3rd Dog Walk.

MRW – transporting animals around Spain
MRW is an animal transport company in Spain which is used by many refuges and association to move animals from perreras, refuges etc. They are used in preference to private transport companies because they are cheaper.
This is a translation of an article in the Spanish press.
MRW mistreats the animals they transport. Seprona has verified this information.
Arca Madrid says that is a scam to get money. Refugiocan, in Valencia, has also verified it. They say that:
As Protective Association we corroborate what Seprona says.

A happy ending for two young galgos – Badajoz to Madrid!
Do you remember the two young brindle galgos cowering terrified in Badajoz perrera. They have been adopted by a couple in Madrid and here they are on their way to their forever home. How I wish that to be the happy ending for every dog which finds itself in the killing stations, whatever its breed or mix.

Leah, waiting with Galgos del Norte for her forever…
Here is a beautiful young galga with Galgos del Norte, hoping for her forever home. some lovely pix of her on this link. Leah is a gorgeous galguita, a little shy at first but as soon as you are with her a little while, she loses her fear and comes to be caressed. She is quiet and obedient, walks by your side, likes other dogs but is nervous in the beginning. She will live with cats, but will be best with another dog, to give her confidence. contact Galgos del Norte through their weblink above.
