Galga shot in the head – saved by the vet – the true Spain!
This galga has been shot in the head. I don’t know the story behind how she was found – I’m waiting for the details – but suffice to say she was still alive when taken to the vet, who at the time of my receiving the photo, was operating to save her.
The hunters in France, where I live, are lethal in more than one way! Around our home and land, their shooting days are Thursdays and Sundays. We keep our cat and dogs shut in the house on those days; the cat is shut in all day, much to her disgust; the dogs are only let out in the courtyard.

Abandoned and dying in Murcia – help save him – donate to vet fees
Tina Solera has been out catching a galgo again! Seems to be every day there is an abandoned galgo which crosses her path, even 2! And it’s not even near the end of the hunting season. What is wrong, what is happening that all these abandoned galgos are still being found?
This one was in a very poor state; Tina took advice from other experienced volunteers and finally managed to catch him and take him to her vet. (Bear in mind she has young school age children to see to whilst saving galgos!) This is what she says.

Dennis and Sandy, Spanish galgos needing forever homes
Dennis and Sandy are galgos rescued by Tina Solera. They both deserve forever homes. Can you help?
Dennis was abandoned in Murcia. He is aprox 3 yrs, castrated, vaccine rabia and enfermadad, blood tests for leishmania and erchlicia are all negative and he is microchipped. He is loving and affectionate.
Sandy was found living on the streets of Pilar de Horadada and as soon as she entered the refuge she was very happy to have water and food, she was even skinnier than she is now. She had the early stages of filaria, which was caught with treatment and she is now fine.
She loves cuddles and wants constant attention but in a positive way. She doesn’t hassle you, she just pushes her nose into you. She wants to love someone and wants someone to own her 100%. She was always nice with the other dogs but unfortunately one dog bit her tail off, can you see? She walks lovely on a lead also. She really is a very good dog and will make someone a fantastic companion.
If you can offer one of these wonderful deserving galgos a home, please contact Tina

Galga Gaby, abandoned in Murcia, fostered in France, adopted in the UK
Here’s something to make you chuckle, amidst so many horror stories. I am fostering a galga rescued by Tina Solera of Los Infiernos Refuge in Murcia (by the way, click on the ‘hound’ logo on the right to donate desperately needed dog food to her) who is en route to her forever home in the UK. The galga is a terrible thief! What a surprise! But as she is larger than my Carmela and Sahara, she can reach more things.

Restabal, Grenada, Spain, can anyone help these starving dogs
Calling everyone involved in animal rescue in Andalucia. I’ve just received the following message from Scooby Medina who unfortunately are much too far away to be able to help these dogs. Can anyone go and rescue them?
‘Hello,
I am hoping you may be able to help me, I have just returned to the United States from a short trip to the Grenada region. We rented a house in the rugged countryside south of Grenada called the Lecrin Valley, we were nearest the small village of Restabal, not far from Durcal. -
Two podencas desperately needing forever homes
This is Freya, a podenca at Los Infiernos refuge, Murcia, where Tina is a volunteer. Tina explains ‘She is a podenco suffering terribly. She has been chewing at her own leg and has broken through the skin. She doesn’t want to eat and had lost a lot of weight but volunteers have been hand feeding her wet food so that is helping. I’ve had her moved to a more comfortable place in the refuge and she is improving but would like to see her leave asap. She is approx 10mths, great with people but nervous with other dogs until she gets to know them!’
Please contact Tina direct.
And don’t forget sweet Mary, currently in a kennels and desperate for her forever home. Contact Charl direct.
