Two more galgas rescued from the streets in Murcia.
Tina Solera is a volunteer with the refuge Los Infiernos, Torre Pacheco, Murcia. They don’t have a website, so I posting an appeal from her.
‘I have attached two photos of two galgos that came in last night, very frightened and hungry. The first galga is brown and white (female) 1-2years and we have called her Brunita. The second one is black, 4-5years (female) extremely underweight and very frightened, we have called her Azabache.
Sunday morning at Scooby; watch out, the hunters are about.
Greyhounds in Nood Belgium recently took a van load of goods to refuges in Spain, returning with galgos for adoption. Read about their trip. Click on the Union Jack flag for the English version, then ‘Spain Update’
An appeal for help from L’Europe des Levriers. Floods are submerging Andaloucia; more than 1500 people have been evacuated from their houses. At Cordoba, the river Guadalquivir has burst its banks and Seville and Jaen are threatened. And the weather forecast is for more rain.
The refuge of our friend Alberto, near Cordoba is under 2 metres of water and he has had to evacuate all his dogs to a garage to keep them dry. The tempest Xynthia has caused serious flooding problems in Spain this year.
Readers may remember Estrella, the podenca who shared a death cell at the Jaen perrera with 3 galgos. At 8 years old, she had been taken there by her owner, as he no longer had a use for her. The three galgos were rescued, but the podenca was left behind. She was obviously intended to leave as well, as she had a blood test showing she had ehrlichia, but somehow she got overlooked.
Two weeks later she was still there, discovered, and rescued. L’Europe des Levriers arranged for her to travel in the rescue at the beginning of February. Estrella came out in the van with me, and became my foster dog. She was skinny, not surprising as this is one of the symptoms of ehrlichia, and unfortunately she had not been put on medication for it.
Castilla La Mancha in central Spain is one of the 5 main hell holes in which to be born a galgo or podenco. Cuenca is its capital city and has presented its candidacy to be European Cultural Capital 2016.
There is a dark side to the city which has not been presented to the EC. This has come from a supporter of CuencaAnimal association.
‘Since I have been in the world of the broadcasts I’ve seen many horrible images: dogs maimed, abused, abandoned in an extreme state of malnutrition, and of course, the indiscriminate killing in the kennels, the shame of Europe on the subject of animals.
Mo Swatek, president of Pro-Galgo, now has the full story about the Breton Spaniel found hung. Please, all associations, add your name to the Denuncio as, for once, the Guardia Civil are taking action.
There is also a report of 6 galgos being stolen from the Merida Dog Pound, suspected that gypsies are responsible. As is usually the case, the police are doing little to investigate.
Introducing Sandy, searching for a forever home. She arrived at the Los Infiernos refuge, Murcia, about 7 months ago, pregnant, rescued from gypsies, which is possibly why her body is covered in scars. 5 of the 7 puppies died, all galgos.
She had a home waiting for her in Germany, until it was discovered she was pregnant. At the moment she is quite a confident galga, approx 7 years old, vaccinations and passport up to date,blood tests clear. So she is ready to go.
Contact Tina if you can offer her a forever home.
And Kafir is still waiting for that special person to continue his journey back to the heaven of being a much loved pet, instead of the life of hell before he was caught. Contact L’Europe des Levriers about him.
DON’T ANYONE TELL ME THEY DON’T HANG DOGS IN SPAIN ANY MORE!!! JUST COME IN – FROM CATALUNA. AND UNUSUALLY IT’S NOT A GALGO.
This is the story. ‘In the precinct of a business located on the outskirts of Banyeres some employees observed a blue Nissan Terrano car. Inside they found a pedigree Breton spaniel dog which had been hung. The dog has a chip. The owner of the dog J. C. M indicates that he gage the dog to M. B. F.
We beg to all the Protecoras to be adhered to the accusation performed in the Civil Guard with nº of crammed: 2010-003192-00000023 Thanks to the management of the business that I denounce the facts!

Chiclana, the city where our Society is placed, in Cadiz, is one of the most affected cities by the storm in Spain. In Chiclana it goes on raining, it is continuously pouring.
Some weeks ago, Kimba asked you for help because our pets, under this cold and bad weather, did not have any dog coats or blankets left
And now because of the continuously rain, our “animal refuge building” is badly affected. The installations were completely flooded after the rainstorm, roofs are in a very bad condition, in the buildings our animals cannot be dry, they keep wet the whole day, installations are highly damage and we go from bad to worse, according to the forecast, it will go on raining hard.
