Huellas, Spain – galga dumped in rubbish bin
Many years ago my first galga came from Ciudad Real, a hellhole for hunting dogs. This poor galga was found dying in a rubbish bin. Here’s the story.
‘Agents of the local police in Puertollano have managed to rescue alive 10/12/2014 this galgo struggling inside a Dumpster of the industrial city. This has been released by the police themselves on his Twitter account @ PuertoLocal092, which attacks the “damned criminals” who have been perpetrators. The agents have reported that the animal has been taken to the vet by volunteers from the Protectora Huellas.
Now named Angeles, she is serious but stable, has an infection and damage to one of her hind legs, and still is not out of danger, still fighting for her life. The galgos are some dogs very strong, do not lose hope.’
I’d guess she was dumped to die because she broke a leg hunting

Galga Gabriell – her angels are helping her
The pressure on Spanish refuges and perreras does not lessen – daily galgos and podencos dumped…here’s the latest one at Pepis Refuge on 30th Novewmber, now named Gabriell. Jane tells the story.
Once again another beautiful black galga dumped today. (30/11/2014) I hate the word dumped, but what other words can you use? I would say she is no more than 1 year old, she has a swollen front leg and finds it hard to stand on it, so vets tomorrow. Also we noticed blood running down her neck and a small cut where the chip would have been. No surprise there then. She too is quite thin, but we have bathed her neck, put a nice thick coat on her, given her some food and bedded her down for the night.
