Thanks to Valarie Woolf for bringing to my attention an association formed last year in Argentina – saving galgos. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised, a Spanish outpost; last winter I posted a photo of two men laughing, with a hung dog between them.

Spanish galgos are already being stolen for hunting next month!
Everyone in Spain either working in shelters/refuges or who has adopted a galgo – be warned, there is news already of loose galgos in Murcia being taken by the gitanos/galgueros ready for hunting starting next month….galgos in unattended shelters -(the majority of shelters don’t have anyone there overnight) are particularly at risk – and if the thieves are challenged, they are likely to become aggressive.
Pray for every galgo, rescued or still on the streets.
