Pemphigus Foliaceous – auto immune disease – has your dog suffered?
My first galga, Karmel, developed pemphigus foliaceous, a genetic disease which breaks down the auto immune system of a dog – or cat – and also in humans. I have just been contacted by a galgo adoptant, whose beautiful 3yr old galga has been diagnosed with pf, and is desperate for any help regarding treatment, as her vet is running out of ideas. Besides the articles I wrote on Galgo News about Karmel and pf, are there any other readers who have had a diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceous in their dogs? If so, please email me band@bbrennan.eu

Galga puppy in Jaen, Andalucia – 3 months old and already a victim
This little baby is only 3 months old. She was wandering near some cars, some children started to attack her. Luckily she was heard screaming and crying and was rescued, and is now in a garage. An appeal is out for an association to take her. She’s been named Dana. She is affectionate and trusting, even after her bad treatment. She will be chipped, vaccinated, wormed, with an adoption contract and commitment to sterlize when she is old enough. Contact duendecillasoy@hotmail.com Associations only

Villarejo, Salvanes – hunters disposed of hounds
The hunters continue to deny that they kill their dogs when they have no more use for them. I have seen wells in from which live galgos have been rescued…here’s the story of another one rescue alive, but others which were not so lucky. Again, this is an Internet translation, no time to correct the grammar, but you will understand the story!
A live galgo was rescued from this well, along with the remains of other dead dogs, which were put into bags and carried a locator chip that allowed the agents to identify the owner of the dogs through the College of Veterinary Surgeons , who certified the animal rescued and the remains of one that appeared in the bag belonged to same owner.

Please sign petition – Close Mairena killing station!
My heart is very heavy. I have mainly only bad news coming in from Spain at the moment – stupidity of Spanish authorities, sickening cruelty of the ‘inhuman’ species, and the suffering of all dogs in perreras. I have long publicised the Mairena perrera in Seville province, Andalusia, as one of the worst in Spain – indeed 3 or 4 years ago volunteers were stopped from taking photos of dogs needing help, because of the bad publicity. Why feed a dog you are going to kill?
Please sign this petition – if we do nothing, nothing will change – if we sign, we might make a change. Please ask everyone you know to sign. Below is an Internet translation into English; sorry, no time to correct grammar but you get the gist!

Dog Traffikers – Spain to Italy!
It’s not always good news, when appeals have been circulated about galgos in killing stations – that they are then ‘adopted’! Depending on the killing station, some of the dogs are taken into the care of rescue associations – such as from SOS Badajoz, Zaragosa, to name but two. But others, such as Mairena, don’t care, they are simply happy to accept a payment of about 30 euros/dog, no matter where the dog goes.
