All too often, when bitches are abandoned, they come on heat and are covered by whatever male dogs get on their scent. They give birth and the litter can be a mixture of galgos and galgo mixes.
This is the story of one of those galgo mix puppies. Adopted from a Spanish shelter under the wings of Canispro, it’s a delightful tale of Rocki’s new life in Germany.

Hanged galga in Toledo – saved! Trapped galga in Toledo – saved! Please help with vet fees
This galga was hung last week. Luckily she was rescued before she died, and is now in the care of L’Europe des Levriers.
Her trachea was severed by the thin rope around her neck and her lungs were very infected. Her neck had two holes from the trachea and worms and lots of shit were inside. The most complicated was that there were also very thin bots in the wound.
The galga was also suffering from a undernourishment and her liver and her kidneys had infection.

Ageism – alive and practiced on mainland Europe!
I am disappointed to learn that ageism is alive and flourishing in animal rescue associations. Let me start by saying to all of you who practice it – one day you will be a victim of ageism – you will be ‘old’!
Now I’ll ask you all a question – if I applied to your association to adopt a dog, would you refuse me – on the basis that I’m 64 years old, been married for 41 years, work from home, had dogs all my life? Would you?
