These galgos are in the Toledo perrera and the association has been told it is the last time they will be allowed in there. In 3 months they have managed to take our more than 100 dogs, with the help of the protectoras and individuals who have made this possible. These are the galgos currently there, mostly young ones.

Toledo – hell for galgos. Sandra Baas of Baas Galgo reports on the latest examples of galguero cruelty.
‘Last weekend (weekend before Xmas) our Baasgalgo rescue team found a massive galgo graveyard. They have been digging all day and finally found 8 murdered galgos.
I cannot give you any more information since the case is now denounced.
When Leticia came back and looked on our facebook page, she saw there was a girl called Selene asking for help…a galga was thrown into a gully around 800 meters deep.
You may remember in I reported that Baas Galgo were taking to court via a denuncia a hunter in Toledo who had hung his 3 galgos – he was identified because he left microchips in. This is the latest news from Sandra Baas.
‘It was agreed opening of oral proceedings in the case of the man who confessed to hanging his 3 galgos.
The Court of Instruction No. 2 of Torrijos (Toledo) has agreed to open the trial against the man who confessed to hanging two of the 3 greyhounds found in a place nearby Fuensalida in February.The perpetrator is a neighbor of the same locality. The Fiscal Ministry demands a year in prison for a crime of animal abuse. The greyhound defense association, BaasGalgo, presented as the private prosecution with the lawyer Sergio Garcia-Valle, has requested a year in prison for each of the abused animals: three years in prison in total.
Do you remember the story of the hanged galga saved by Letitia and taken to the home of Cristina, vice president of L’Europe des Levriers? Here is the latest news about her.
She is now called “Campanilla” (Bell in Spanish) and she lives in home in Cristina in Madrid. It is the poor galga who was hanged and Leti found wandering the streets of a village near Toledo. The rope had cut her neck under the trachea and she was suffering from severe malnutrition. The veterinarian of Toledo did an excellent job of repairing her wounds to pepare her for transporting to a Madrid clinic where Cristina could look after her. She remained there a week and last Monday she went to Cristina’s home.
Hundreds of you have been sickened and horrified at the story of the two galgo puppies murdered and left by rubbish bins in Santa Olalla. In the message I received, it said Santa Olalla was in Murcia, but Galgo passionata Carla Johnson has discovered it is actually in Toledo. Now, that is where the galguero hung his 3 galgos in February this year, he whom Sandra Baas has taken to court.
Thank you to Carla for composing this letter to the Mayor of Santa Olalla. His name is Snr Jose Maria Vallejo Herrera. Please join in and send a copy of this letter to him. His email address is alcalde@santaolalla.es – or this one – and the postal address is Snr Jose Maria Vallejo Herrera,Ayuntamiento de Santa Olalla, Plaza Reyes de España, 1. 45530 Toledo, Espagne.
Here are the photos of the Toledo galga who had chewed through her foot to escape a wire snare. The flesh was being attacked by maggots. Some of the photos are not very pleasant, but rest assured that she had the best of veterinary treatment and is now in foster care.

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.
This is the message received.
‘This case is very urgent and we need help for someone to take this abandoned galga, who has 8 puppies about 1 month old, hidden in a field by an industrial estate. Much danger as they are living near gitanos who will try and take them. They need help urgently to take them to safety, help of any kind (where you can rescue and protect them and find foster etc after. Please, please is very urgent. We need experienced people in such cases and especially a safe place to take them.
I pray that someone heeds this call for help because the fate of this mother and her babies is very black if they are not rescued soon.

Look at this fantastic boy. He is a galgo, 6 months old, has been in a Toledo refuge since December. Because he is a boy no one has asked for him….if he is not taken out soon, he will be stolen by the gitanos and then…..well, we all know the life in store for him.
Tobruk is small, young and very gentle, he’s been in the Toledo refuge since December…no one seems to want him. Please…..please someone outside of Spain take this young galgo to rehome, he needs a chance……… Contact Nuria, , or Joanna
Come on, let’s get this young boy, with no mental or physical hangups, out of there….perfect galgo for rehoming.
