A happy ending for two young galgos – Badajoz to Madrid!
Do you remember the two young brindle galgos cowering terrified in Badajoz perrera. They have been adopted by a couple in Madrid and here they are on their way to their forever home. How I wish that to be the happy ending for every dog which finds itself in the killing stations, whatever its breed or mix.

Walk on by – how can some people? Galga Nana, fighting for life
Every day my inbox is filled with horror stories about the galgos and podencos of Spain – that just these two breeds, not counting all the other abandoned dogs. It’s hard to keep up with posting news about them all – I want to let you all know what is going on every day, what the volunteers cope with every day, and this is another story. I’ve translated it but it’s not perfect – but I’m sure you’ll get the gist of the report! Simply haven’t time to correct it, sorry!

Leah, waiting with Galgos del Norte for her forever…
Here is a beautiful young galga with Galgos del Norte, hoping for her forever home. some lovely pix of her on this link. Leah is a gorgeous galguita, a little shy at first but as soon as you are with her a little while, she loses her fear and comes to be caressed. She is quiet and obedient, walks by your side, likes other dogs but is nervous in the beginning. She will live with cats, but will be best with another dog, to give her confidence. contact Galgos del Norte through their weblink above.
