In the Spring of 2009 on the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, the greyhound racing stadium was closed down, and 175 greyhounds were let loose to survive as best they could. Galgo News ran the story. This is a video of their story and their happy endings in forever homes.

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.

The Plight of the Galgo – Spain must act to stop this!
Some months ago, a lot of photos of galgos in Mairena were circulating on the Internet, including Galgo News. The information I had been given was that this was a killing station. It has since come to light that Mairena is in fact a perrera, ‘Protectora de Animales Y Plantas de Sevilla, which has contracts with city councils of cities and villages in the area, to retrieve abandoned dogs from the streets. Hunters also take their dogs there when hunting has finished.
This galga (who has been named Linda) gave birth to 10 puppies a couple of days ago, and all of them have been taken to Mairena. What sick person can do this. Look at the conditions in which she lies exhausted.
