Madrid – sights to see
White galgos were always considered the ultimate by the Spanish aristocracy, and here are two beauties in Madrid, needing forever homes. Kendra is stunning with her different coloured eyes, and little Aroa was found alone on the street! Here are their stories.
AROA – the police took Aroa and her little brother Arati off the street in a village near Madrid where they had been wandering for several days, looking for food. She is in foster, good in the house, with children, with other dogs and cats and, being only 5 months old, playful.

Holidaying in Seville? Accommodation available soon!
Macu lives in Seville and has been working to save podencos from a gypsy. Now she has received a call about a hunter with galgos, podencos and mix breeds, kept in a shack in cages, existing on bread. He was going to take them to a perrera which doesn’t charge to kill the dogs. She has managed to get 3 of the 10 galgos, and is asking for help to get the other 7. It’s horrendous this year, everyone is full to overflowing – bloody hunters.
If anyone can help, both with fostering the dogs or paying for kenneling and vet fees, please contact Macu (Paypal to this address) Tele (Spain) 665809169
