  • Further update on galga Galena with Asociacion Somos Galgos

    No photo description available.

    They have already operated on our little girl, Galena. Her wound was healing very well with the treatments. They have cut off the edges of her dead skin so that it closes properly and have done a complete reconstruction inside and out.  The traumatologists are happy with the result and we are even more so!!!  It is noticeable that she wants to live, and we want her to be well so that we can start a second and happy life.
    We have managed to pay the bills in several installments, so if you help us a little more, we will be able to continue giving her the care she deserves (for her and for Cate who also needs surgery)  We ask for help and we thank you for the support this little one is getting, you know that without you we could not bear the weight of the association.

    Galena had a good night. Wound is progressing quite nicely.  If she continues like this, we can operate on her. The traumatologist told us she’s going to have to have a transplant and do reconstruction.  Just touched the gasket and no damage to the jaw.
    So far we have 400€ of expenses but we’ve only just begun.
    We’ll keep telling you about the evolution of this little one.

  • Galgo Cate with a genital injury = more bills for Asociacion Somos Galgos

    May be an image of tick

    Today we introduce you to Cate. This cutie is a 4-year-old male and is already sick. We took him to the hospital today because, as you can see, he has a pretty serious genital injury.  For now, they have told us that we need to perform surgeries and give him a lot of medication for the infection and pain. Next week, if he gets better, we will have to operate on him.
    Summer is being tough, for them and for us. More bills and no definitive adoption.  You know we do what we can, but between veterinary, residency, and educators expenses, we can’t take on more dogs for now.
    WE CLOSE DOORS UNTIL RECOVERY

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – saving the galgos for 10 years

    Galgosrescuealmeria
    From a barren piece of land to a safe haven…
    Almost 10 years ago, the doors of Galgos Rescue Almería opened to dogs who had nowhere else to turn. Dogs who were hungry, injured, abused, or simply discarded. Dogs who had lost everything except the hope of a better future.
    When we purchased the land, it was nothing more than an empty plot. Step by step, brick by brick, that dream grew into the rescue centre it is today. Thanks to your incredible support, we have built new kennels, a safe area for puppies, large play areas, shaded spaces, a fully renovated intake area, and so much more.
    If you visit our rescue today, it is almost unrecognisable compared to what it looked like nine years ago. Together, we can be incredibly proud of what we have achieved.

  • Starving and injured – rescued and safe with Asociacion Somos Galgos

    This little girl is Galena. It means “healer” and we chose it so that her name gives her strength. We rescued her with a rescuer knowing she was going to be in very bad condition, but when we saw that what was on her face was not a simple wound but a gunshot… we had to act fast.
    We’ve taken her to the emergency room: we’ve been confirmed that the hole in her face is a gunshot, plus she has a huge loss of blood, dehydration, severe malnutrition, a pulmonary enphysema and pneumonia.
    For now they can’t operate it because they don’t think it’s past the anesthesia. Let’s start with antibiotics and wound cleanings.
    You know how this goes, we are not leaving the little one no way but we need help paying the bills….
