Another petition for the galgos
Here is another petition about the galgos. I am posting the link, but I have doubts about the accusation that dogs in perreras are clubbed to death. If anyone has any proof of this, I will be interested to receive it.

Podenco Scooby is also looking for his forever family, he is in the UK already
And yet another podenco, in the UK already, looking for a forever home. He’s with Pro-Galgo and this is what Mo Swatek says about him.
‘Goku, or Scooby as we have now called him, is one of the Podencos that arrived from Spain recently. He is around 18 months old and is absolutely stunning. He has the most amazing ears and grin and wonderful red coat.
Scooby is very playful and loves to play tug with a raggy toy, either with his kennel mate or with visitors. He can still be a little shy of new people but is very loving and confident when he gets to know you.Scooby could live with older (10+), calm and gentle children.

Spain’s Catalonia bans bullfighting! There’s hope yet for saving the galgos.
This is a report on Yahoo
Spain’s Catalonia bans bullfighting.
The result of 68 in favour, 55 against the prohibition was expected, since the Catalonian parliament had cast preliminary votes in December accepting a citizens’ petition to outlaw bullfighting on the grounds that it was cruelty to animals. There were nine abstentions.

Oco, podenco saved from the streets of Spain, waiting for a forever home
Please could anybody offer a forever home to this adorable podenco, currently in foster in southern France.
Oco was found on the streets in Spain with long curly claws. His only friend was a cat and an abandoned galga (Spanish greyhound). His owner didn’t care about him and pretended he’d given him to a friend.

Podenco Shadow in his forever home – escaped from life on the streets in SpainSha
Some of you may remember Shadow, a little podenco with Sofia El Refugio Escuela in Seville, looking for a forever home. He looked so much like a male version of my little Podenca Andaluz Bebe, who was rescued injured on a Seville motorway. Have a look at the pictures on this link of Shadow in his forever home, plus Leela and Esther, a couple more galgos who have also found paradise in homes outside Spain.

Galgo News Stands Neutral as far as the World Cup goes!
Personally, as a Brit, the English football team were a joke. That’s nothing new. We introduced football, cricket, tennis, golf to the world. Whatever we introduce, we then are the losers. Andy Murray put up a good show in tennis, but the footballers – and when you consider what these males are paid????!!! – were pathetic. And why? Because there are so many foreign footballers in the UK football teams that the English team manager can’t find enough decent English players. I could go on further, but I won’t.
Just to say that I support neither Holland nor Spain in the World Cup final. Why? Well, Holland has taken so many rescued galgos to its hearts and homes, but Spain is the home of the galgo, and I could never abandon support – even in the World Cup – for the amazing volunteers who work to rescue, and give shelter to, and rehome abroad, these beautiful innocents who suffer so at the hands of the bastard galgueros.
So, Galgo News stands neutral. But hope you enjoyed the photos and comments from galgos in Holland and Spain!

Galgos in Holland say ‘Spain, we are ready for you!’ We will win!
Joke Brussen from Holland decked his galgos out to show who they are supporting in the World Cup Final. He says the pic was taken by the police, who thought he was abandoning them! What a wonderful photo! -
Jerez galgos neutered, thanks to a team of German & Bulgarian vets
Mo Swatek of Pro-Galgo is really pleased that the Jerez galgos the association saved have now been spayed/castrated, apart from one old girl. A team of German & Bulgarian vets visited the area and perform neutering operations on over 500 local animals – think how many unwanted litters of dogs and cats that will have saved. You can read about it here.

Galga needs help between Lebrija and El Cuerva, Seville
July, and still the galgos are abandoned and loose. This one is at Irma Mykonos Road, between Lebrija and El Cuerva, Seville. She has a malformed front leg but can still walk, and her teeth are in a terrible state. Please help us before the gitanos take her for hunting again.
