  • Chained galga starving to death – now fighting to live

    Charl Adina carrying 250 12 2013This is galga Adina – chained up, no food, no water, left to starve to death. Rescued and taken immediately to the vet and kept in the clinic for a few days to monitor. Now she is safe with 112carlotagalgos. Charl tells the story – briefly

    ‘I now introduce you to Princess Adina!

    Survival is her wish. Her longing to live through the darker days held her… brought her to this.. home.

    At the moment we’re not testing her .. everything seems to be working ok for the moment. Bowels and urine. But she will be watched. Tests of the usual would only be false at this time. So recuperation is what she needs. Rest. Food. Rest. Food.

    She longed to live.. here she is. Welcome to finca 112 Carlotagalgos special girl.

    Embraced by chains.. you have been released. We have prayed for you. For strength to see a new day.. It’s yours to take now.. day by day. Little by little.. you will see your forever.’

    Vet fees are already mounting, plus special food costs – please donate by paypal to comdelrio@hotmail.com.

  • Galga Ginny – fighting against the odds – please help

    Ginny 2 170 7 2012Maribel Jerez does a marvellous job of circulating appeals on behalf of dogs on death row in Spain’s perreras, chiefly in Jerez and Gesser in Cadiz. One recent one which circulated was a photo of a sad galga, no one came forward to take her, so Charl of 112carlotagalgos stepped in to save her. The perrera has now decided to spay dogs before they can leave, so Ginny, as she has been named, was spayed. It was only when she was collected from the perrera that it became obvious that Ginny was not in the best of health. Here’s her story.

  • Escape from Jerez killing station – forever together in the UK

    Holly in jerez 12 2010 In the middle of December I posted one of many appeals about galgos dumped in Jerez perrera for killing – the Spanish hunting season was only half over! An email arrived in my Inbox from a lady in the UK who had her eye on one of the galgas and asking if I could arrange contact with someone nearby Jerez/Cadiz who could rescue her. As I’d already asked for a young one to be rescued for me, wheels were set in motion. The galgas were reserved – 3 and a puppy, and 112carlotagalgos travelled to the perrera to collect the dogs.

    One of them, beautiful Risa, came to me for foster and rehoming – she is now with a lovely lady in northern France. Sadly the puppy became very ill and died. Holly, as the cream galga was named, was put into kennels, as was the other galga – who was very timid and lacking in confidence.
