Euthenasia – when should you make the decision?
In nearly 80 years of having dogs as pets – as well as horses and cats – apart from one occasion the time has come in their lives for us to make the ultimate decision. Apart from young dog Shandy who got on the scent of a bitch on heat, crossed a road, was hit and killed – all our animals have lived long and happy lives, much loved. Sometimes the ultimate decision has been taken out of our hands – our old border collie got dementia, Molly the greyhound got collapsed lungs at 14 years old, galga Carmela had a stroke and a brain haemorrage, Ben a lab x, galgos Sahara, Polar and Bracken developed inoperable cancers – see photo above – podenca Bebe died at 17 of old age). -

Protectora Scooby Medina – dozens of beautiful galgos hoping for forever homes
Protectora Scooby Medina is overflowing with beautiful galgos hoping for forever homes.
Click on this weblink to view them.
Quite a few are traumatised after a hellish life at the hands of the galgueros, so they need special quiet homes preferably with another dog, so they can gain confidence and become ‘normal’ dogs. Sometimes this can take a couple of years. But they are so forgiving and it is very rewarding to know you have helped them gain trust in humans. Here are a couple of videos of some of these hounds, hopefully you can view them.

Galgo Morgan with Galgos 112 – hoping for his forever home
Introducing Morgan with Galgos 112. Morgan is a young galguit, not even two years old, who was abandoned by some soulless in a village. The kennel was warned but he got lucky and finished us. Since then he is in residence and he is spending it there regularly, he is a very sensitive greyhound and he is not used to both dogs and barking.Already been to the vet and his blood tests are good, dewormed and vaccinated.
He’s pretty calm in nature. A little unconfident with strangers but loving with the people they meet.
We are looking for Morgan a quiet family that lives in an area without a lot of noise of people and cars. No need for them to have another dog, we think Morgan, although she gets along smoothly with other dogs, can get used to being the only dog in her family.
He can also live with cats.If you would like to foster or adopt Morgan write to info@galgos112.com and tell us your town and a contact phone number.

Galga Gineta survived 15 years with a galguero!
From Sandy at Galgos Rescue AlmeriaGineta is a proud 15-year-old black Galgo, her past is and remains a big mystery. She doesn’t look 15 but everything has been checked, chip number, date of implantation, and date of first rabies vaccination and the only conclusion is that her date of birth is indeed 02-06-2010. Her soft eyes tell stories of pain and disappointment, but also of an indestructible spirit.

Galgo Perico – another victim of galguero abuse
From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.Perocp came unwanted by his galguero and in a very poor state. Taken to the vet, his kidneys were not functioning property. put on a drip and staying in the clinic for further treatment and observation.
Unfortunately, we have no good news to report. Sadly we received a phone call from the vet that Perico had passed away. Further analyses showed that he had Leishmania, his kidneys were hardly functioning anymore. The Leish must have been there for a long time, he spent years with his “owner” but never had any vaccination or protection. Perico is yet another victim of these abuses.
It’s a great loss for us. Perico will be cremated and return to the shelter, a tree will be planted in his memory. Rest in peace boy, you will be not alone up there over the rainbow bridge.
