Cordoba again, yet another galga and puppies. Here’s the report from El Arca de Noe Cordoba.
’23 Dec. I was driving along a road going to a store on an industrial estate when a galga crossed my path, her teats were very swollen. I had to brake hard so as not to hit her. She ran into the rough ground on the industrial estate, and I then saw she was not alone, there was another galga with her, and a puppy – the puppy is lame.
Saved from the brink of death by starvation. Crouched in a hole in the ground, unable to stand to escape the volunteers, not understanding they want to save her. This dog has been starved for a long time. Cuencanimal has taken her into their care. The photos show her rescue and her visit to the vet. It will take time to build up this galga to a condition where she can be rehomed. If you want to donate to her care, the details follow.
Definition of STARVATION: starvation is a serious reduction in nutrients, vitamins and energy intake. It is the most extreme form of malnutrition, as a result of the prolonged lack of food. It is characterized by extreme weight loss, decreased metabolic rate and extreme weakness. Those who suffer from starvation may suffer severe damage to the organs and finally death. LADY was saved just in time.
And more young galgos in the Badajoz perrera.
A volunteer reports. ‘This week is especially had with the arrival of many galgos and dogs that have been used for hunting and now already kicked out by the thugs of hunters. S.O.S KENNEL BADAJOZ! Curse the hunters and people close to them!
Friday, December 23, 2011 Another galgo massacred. Christmas in Spain.
An association volunteer reports. This is horrible, is a non-stop.
When we are collecting a galgo Marlon from the clinic where he had jhad an operation, we received a call from someone who sees this horror and asks for help for her.
Appeal from Seville, a Galguera (female hunter) wants to get rid of these two young galgas, as they are no good for hunting?! Doesn’t look like they have had a decent meal in a while! They are two years old, have their vaccines and cards (EU passport). Not much time left to save them before she takes them to the perrera.
These galgos are in the Toledo perrera and the association has been told it is the last time they will be allowed in there. In 3 months they have managed to take our more than 100 dogs, with the help of the protectoras and individuals who have made this possible. These are the galgos currently there, mostly young ones.

Toledo – hell for galgos. Sandra Baas of Baas Galgo reports on the latest examples of galguero cruelty.
‘Last weekend (weekend before Xmas) our Baasgalgo rescue team found a massive galgo graveyard. They have been digging all day and finally found 8 murdered galgos.
I cannot give you any more information since the case is now denounced.
When Leticia came back and looked on our facebook page, she saw there was a girl called Selene asking for help…a galga was thrown into a gully around 800 meters deep.
A couple of lovely Xmas pix to make you smile. Santa’s ‘reindeer’ is Freight Train an ex-racing greyhound waiting in the UK for his forever home. Contact Marion if you want to know more.

This little galga in Badajoz is only a year old, and nervous. Her galguera (female, note) says she will not hunt and so she doesn’t want it. I suppose we should be grateful so far she hasn’t abandoned it nor taken it to the perrera. Hopefully one of the Spanish associations or volunteers has taken her. It’s an example of what is going on all the time now, the pressure the volunteers and associations are under. Here’s the email contact, if anyone can help.

Let’s not forget the shelters on the islands where so many people spend holidays in the sun…Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Mallorca, Ibiza…….behind the glitz, abandoned dogs and cats struggle to survive. It’s only thanks to the few shelters and volunteers that some of them are saved. But they still need to find forever homes, mostly on the European mainland.
