Foster home needed for Teo from Alicante – one now found!
This rescued galgo Teo is having a hard time coping emotionally since he was rescued. He is very scared and hides from people, and so there is an urgent plea for someone with experience of coping with traumatised galgos to offer him a foster and/or adoption home. He’s in Alicante at the moment.

UPDATE
The International appeals network which is now alive is amazing – I can already report that a foster home has been found for him, where he can be treated for his anaemia and other problems.

Winter Sun – cheap holidays in Spain – visit Madrid, Cordoba, Seville, Barcelona
Just to say, folks, that if you sometimes think the headings to my posts are a bit obscure or strongly worded atall,it’s because the headings contain keywords which the Search Engines pick up. So when I put anything about ‘holidays in Spain’, it’s because I’m after getting to people searching the Internet for holidays in Spain, and they get Galgo News too!
Here’s goes again!!

Scooby Medina – support Fermin and the team against Spain’s broken laws
Scooby Medina is the largest animal refuge centre in Spain. It is in the heart of galgo country; Medina del Campo is also the heart of galgo racing. Fermin Perez, the founder and president of Scooby, along with Anne Finch, founder of Greyhounds in Need, should be created Saints. Their names are synonymous with greyhounds and galgos.
I have recently been advised of a horrendous situation for Scooby and the rest of the world can now read about it here.
This is an example of what the Spanish refuges, shelters and rescue associations suffer. Please give Scooby your support, they have to know we are all behind them.

Holiday postcards get out of Spain – donated parcels for shelters can’t get in!
As you know, during the autumn and winter I mention how much the associations and refuges in Spain need dog coats for the thin-coated galgos to survive the severe winter night-time temperatures.
For anyone considering sending dog coats to Spain, please be careful to use a courrier service or a galgo rescue association outside of Spain to ensure safe delivery of the parcel.
Spain is often described to me by those who live there as a Third World Country; this is an example of the corruption and red tape existing in the postal service.

No Spanish Holiday swimming in the Canal for this Galgo rescued by SEPRONA – who threw him in there?
A member of the Service of Protection of the Nature (Seprona) of the Civil Guard of Don Benito rescued a galgo from the waters of the channel of Navalvillar de Pela as, due to the extremely steep incline, it could not get out.
The rescue, according to the Delegation of the Government, took place on 10th January in the morning, during the usual monitoring of the canal.
The galgo was inside the channel with part of its body submerged in the water and the agents of the SEPRONA, with just their hands and helped by a strap, were able to tie the dog and to rescue it. The poor dog had blood-stained legs, wounds produced when trying to get out of the channel.
