  • Seville, City of Shame, behind the glitter – who’s starving in the winter sun

    Abandoned galgos 2 19 01 2011 250 I wept when I received this story. 4 galgos,abandoned, starving and barely able to stand. A woman is leaving food and water but she can’t take them in, please can anyone help. Here’s the appeal I received (Google translation!)

    A few days ago a woman called me crying, 4 dogs skeletal and more dead than alive. I went to see and do photos, and what I found on arrival was eerie. They are two males and two females. Of the males, one is very sweet and young, have white teeth, and let me pet him about looking for love. not too thin, and hits all the food (normal if starved), but it’s a terrific galgo and loves petting.

  • Liberty – 2 broken back legs, can you offer a foster home urgently?

    Liberty 4 16 01 2011 155 Sometimes the sheer stupidity of some people is unbelievable. You don’t have to be a hunter to be cruel, as this story shows. This galgo was rescued over Xmas by a woman who lives in a 3rd floor apartment in Benalmadena. Last week she went out and left a window ajar. The galgo pushed open the window, got onto the balcony and jumped!

    The galgo has been operated on by a hospital in Benalmadena, he has staples inside the leg and stitches outside. He has a hole left for drainage of liquid. He fell to the ground. The neighbour saw the dog, called the girl and he was eventually taken to the vet. The diagnosis is

  • Galgos saved from death – please donate to vet fees

    Bombero and Cremo 1 17 01 2011 250 The perreras in Spain are full to bursting with abandoned dogs, especially galgos now that the hunting season is drawing to a close. Despite all the ones rescued from Jerez perrera, Cadiz, there are still more than a couple of dozen there, awaiting a painful death. At El Paraiso perrera, they are feeding the galgos, hoping someone will rescue them. Several have been taken to foster homes already, and two more were taken out last weekend. White ones, which were once regarded as THE most important galgo to the Spanish aristocracy.

  • Baas Galgo and Ginn art auction – raising funds for Villa del Rio Shelter, Cordoba

    The Villa del Rio shelter in Cordoba is again suffering floods after the river burst its banks. To raise funds for the shelter, Baas Galgo in association with Ginn are organising an auction of artwork by Pam Emmerick. Click here to see the artwork and bid

    Sandra and Leticia do marvellous work at this shelter, I can’t praise them enough for what they do. But the thing I can’t get my head round is that it is owned by a hunter who also breeds galgos and sells them to the galgueros; a rich man! I visited it in June 2009.

    Hanged galgo 250 Extremadura 16 01 2011 Terrible news coming in all this weekend……and this is the worst. A galgo found hanged near Badajoz, which we know is a hellhole for all dogs. Here’s the link to the story. This is a Google translation.

    Extremadura environmentalists complained to the Office of Environment of Badajoz on the 14th of January after the discovery of a greyhound hanged in the town of Don Benito.

    The animal had been cruelly tortured with multiple blows all over his body and burns on the outside of the ears. He was hanged under the Secondary Canal aqueduct located in the area known as sows, of that municipality of Don Benito.

  • Podencoworld – helping the podencos of La Linea, Spain

    Podencoworld 01 2011 250 Passionate about Podencos! Why didn’t I find this website before? Maybe because I haven’t had time to do so much research into podenco sites because the Galgo news always takes so much time, as did researching for my book! Have a look at this very interesting website, Podencoworld. This link should take you through to the English translation; if it doesn’t click on the Union Jack on the lefthand side.
