On the appeal for help for galgos in Hellin Perrera, there is now a comment that it is suspected that galgos are being bought from there and transported to Italy for breeding. I have asked the commentator to give me more information. Does anyone else know of galgos being bought straight out of perreras and taken elsewhere in Europe for breeding?
I am aware that trafficking does go on, but don’t have any more information.
This is Frank, he is now in the veterinary hospital. Galgos del Sol need help with his vet fees. Read about it on Podenco Post. To help raise funds to pay the vet, Galgos del Sol have bracelets for sale; they aren’t expensive. You can buy one – or more – here.

Milagros is another poor victim of human selfishness, rescued from the worst of hells; Was a victim of the famous beggar that keeps puppies constantly locked in a dirty little carrier. We believe that the suffering of Milagritos ended the day we rescued him. But little did we know what was in store for him.
URGENT PLEASE.! IF SOMEONE IS GOING TO KENNELS (OLIVENZA) PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO.
This galgo, called Mory,is one year old and was stolen on 18th February in Almendralejo, Badajoz. Its owners are still desperately trying to find it. This is the only photo we have, but as identification, there is a scar as small as a grain of rice hetween its eyes. The owners are heartbroken. Please, if anyone is going into the Olivenza Perrera, have a look at the galgos.

Just a question – why the hell wasn’t the dog microchipped, if the owner cared so much about it! Finding a black galgo in Spain?!!
Have you checked out my other weblog, Podenco Post? Now live, it tells you about the different types of podenco, associations involved in helping them – especially on the Spanish Islands like Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Ibiza. Support the Podencos too. They need your help.
Latest news on Esperanza, the galga rescued from a rubbish tip and now being cared for by El Albergue and Galgos 112 in a foster home. What an amazing fight for life. See her on YouTube. And HUGE thanks and congratulations to everyone in the team involved in saving her. What a brave dog. And curse the man who tried to kill her.

You remember brave Ken, the galgo hit from behind by a motor vehicle, rescued by Galgos del Sol and now with Galgo Connection Spain in Valencia. Silvia’s vet and the team are helping rebuild his body and he is now mobile with his personal wheelchair!
Here is the latest news about him from Silvia.
‘Now we take him to rehabilitation, he has more muscles in the back side, something is confused because he moves the tail and the legs but has not sensibility, the vet is looking if he gets better with the rehab.
More galgos in the Hellin perrera in Albacete. Due to be euthanaised on 10th June. There are dozens of other dogs too, and puppies galore….when will Spain take action to stop this stupidity and enforce controlled breeding and educate people to be responsible for their pets? And it’s not only Spain but the whole of Europe who perpetrate the problem.
